A Review of Jesi's 'Therapy at 43'
In the rap industry, it is quite not uncommon to find rap artists who at least at some stage in the course of their career, pick up the microphone, so to say, to spill their minds on issues that go beyond the borders of entertainment.

A review of Fallaf's 'Tekila'
The intro comes on, atmospheric and quite theatrical, setting the mood and building into the song proper. Rhythmic and boastful of a pace that's both instrumentally catchy and flowing, the song captivates and sweeps along, flooding the attention and keeping it afloat at once. Instrumentally, 'Tekila' scores very high in artistic value, way above average.
A review of Rootword's 'A Matter Of Time'

A review of Warren Gallimore's 'I Just Wanna Tell You' (ft. Austin Leeds & E Marie)
Music encompasses worlds, presents them to the listener and leads them along a sensory experience of its lanes and highways in manners that are soothing and unassuming. ‘I Just Wanna Tell You’ does just this. It’s a world being presented to the listener. It’s not the future, neither is it fantasy. It is the past. Listening to the song brings you face-to-face with flavours of a time that’s rarely remembered, drowned in contemporary artistry.
