“I GET THOSE GOOSEBUMPS EVERY TIME” from Travis Scott’s Goosebumps which has gone 4x Platinum in the US. The song is a part of the album Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight. The entire album has also gone platinum. This album is definitely one where I enjoy every song. It’s one of my favorite albums ever.
Travis Scott refers to the trap as, “social connection trap from what you want to do and how you want to express yourself. I feel like everyone just gets constricted by their parents or just life”
Recommended Songs on the album: way back, wonderful, through the late night, pick up the phone, and every other song on the album. Whole thing is fire.
This summer Travis Scott released ASTROWORLD, one of the most anticipated albums of the entire year. Right away the album was breaking records left and right. Travis Scott’s album has since be classified double platinum by the Records Industry Association of America (RIAA). The album contained features from Drake, The Weekend, 21 Savage, Migos, Gunna, Nav. The list goes on. In other words, this album was set up for success. With the combination of this level of artists, we can only expect good music.
88glam dropped their first mixtape on November 17, 2017. The album contained 14 songs and even a feature from Nav.
I first heard 88glam 2 years ago when I was searching for new music to listen to. As I was looking at Nav’s features, I cam across and unknown artist. As soon as “Bali” started, I knew that 88glam was gonna have the most fire songs. I listened to the rest of the album and even showed him to some of my friends. 88glam just recently released their second project 88GLAM2, and its got some heat. I personally enjoyed the first album more, but I think the appreciation will come with time.
Favorite 88GLAM SONGS: Drop Top, Racks(ft. Gunna), GPS, Lil Boat, and basically the whole first album.
In may of 2018 Nav released that he was going on tour and 88glam was going to open for him in DC. Right away I asked my friends and convinced my parents to let me go. It was my first concert experience so I really didn’t know what to expect. Right as I stepped in after waiting in line for over an hour, the vibe just completely changed. It felt like I was about to enter the best party of my life.
“Hit me with the addy”, as Yung Pinch says.Yung Pinch released his latest album on December 21 entitled “EVERFRIDAY SZN TWO”. Just 3 years ago, he released his first single, “Rock With Us”. This song later goes on to be one of the songs in his first album, “714Ever”. In just 3 years, Yung Pinch has found much success and even released a song with a well known artist Lil Skies, “I know You”.
One of my favorite songs in his new album would have to be “20 years later”. The song puts into perspective what Yung Pinch expects his life to be in 20 years. According to him he will be partying just like now and even have a personal driver to take him home after the parties. The song is honestly such a vibe and the beat just fits in so well.
Gunna has been in mainstream hip -hop music for about 3 years now, and from the start he’s strictly bangers. Gunna got introduced to the rap game by his “mentor” Young Thug in 2015. From that day Gunna and Young Thug were always making music together and have found a lot of success. Gunna’s latest collab album with Lil Baby reached the Hot 100 charts. Gunna and Lil Baby have now made it to the top and are constantly creating music with some of the best in the game.
***Certified Platinum(RIAA): Drip Too Hard (Lil Baby and Gunna) Peaked the charts at #4 – probably one of Gunna’s best songs.
Gunna wasn’t really recognized until he released his fire project entitled Drip Season 3, and since then he’s found immense success with features on Travis Scott’s ASTROWORLD where his song “YOSEMITE” was Certified Gold by RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America). As of last month, Travis’s ASTROWORLD is officially double platinum Certified by the RIAA.
Some of my favorite Gunna Songs:
Sold Out Dates, Oh Okay, Car Sick, Drip Too Hard, Space Cadet, Top Off, Business is Business
Gunna Features:
Racks (88glam), Ain’t Livin Right (Juice WRLD), YOSEMITE (Travis Scott), Life Goes On (Lil Baby), Stay Long Love You (Mariah Carey), Do You Understand (Shy Glizzy), EAT (Nav)
