KIRK

Da Baby

Album Review

---

Let’s Gooooo

Before this newly released album , Da Baby has released & has been featured in many other projects ! In my opinion Da Baby is one of the hottest rappers out right now. From his up beat concert performances to his creative music videos , Da Baby is truly someone to watch.

The intro to KIRK starts with Da Baby explaining how his father passed recently this year which was a complete surprise to me because the whole year we really saw

 Da Baby doing nothing but working . He also mentions his daughter and his family a whole bunch which I liked because it shows a different side of him . Speaking of a different side as most artist after their first album , they “switch the flow” up ! Which is not always bad , in my opinion it’s not much club play or radio stream music on this album, maybe the intro and “VIBEZ”. 

Let’s get into the artist that are featured on “KIRK” ! I was actually surprised to see my best friend Nicki Minaj featured and my homeboy Kevin Gates . This album also includes Chance The Rapper, Gucci Mane, Migos, Moneybagg Yo, Lil Baby & of course Stunna 4 Vegas. By default some of my favorite songs song included my favorite artist. Songs like ; “Pop Star” ft. Kevin Gates, “iPhone” w/ Nicki Minaj , and “Raw S**T” ft Migos . Outside of that I like the Intro & “VIBEZ” and the ones listed above. 

A couple of people I know has generally said the same thing about the album . I haven’t talk to one person that has just loved it. I also feel like some of the other songs he has outside of the album are better . I honestly thought I would have way more to say because I was so excited about the album and I’m a fan of Da Baby. If you haven’t listen yet , listen to my favs first then have a go at the rest ! 

“❗️” Trippie Redd

Album Review

Trippie Redd has dropped a new album and I couldn’t be more excited. To many people surprise I love Trippie Redd and im a major fan. I love raging and I love the screaming that Trippie does and that’s just that!

Its funny because leading up to the album release I received multiple messages and comments like this!

Its funny because everyone expects Trippie to get on the track and start screaming and honestly … so do I but to my dismay , this album was the complete opposite.

I want to be the first to say this album is very mellow and oh yea if you didnt know now you know, TRIPPIE REDD IS IN LOVE and you can tell! Now that that’s said lets get into album.

On this album Trippie has features from ; Playboi Carti, The Game, Lil Baby, Lil Duke ,and most importantly his girlfriend Coi Leray! As mentioned this album is the complete opposite of what you would expect from Trippie and in my opinion he switch the flow up but thats ok, It reminds me of how Lil Yachty switch the flow up when he dropped “Teenage Emotions”. It wasnt bad it was just something different .

I have a couple of favorite songs so far (listed below) but if I was to say my least favorite thing about the album , it would be that it’s nothing to rage and jump around to, the closest you’ll get is “Mac 10” and maybe “Riot”.

Dallas Observer Music Awards

I am so humble that I got to experience and be apart of the Dallas Observer Music Awards(DOMA)  production this years . It was truly an experience, I got to meet and listen to so many different artist it was amazing and some how eye opening.

Saturday / The Showcase

DOMA got over 100 of Artist, Musicians, & Djs to perform in 1 of the 6 venues Dallas Observer  provided. On Saturday all the artists performed and put on a showcase for that particular venue to which they was assigned . I stage managed at the venue Club Da Da where musicians ands bands like Pearl Earl, Sudie, T.Y.E, Gary Owen, & many more put on a show! The venue I was at had so much talent I can only imagine what was going down at the other venues! I had time to slip into Off The Record and caught Dj Mike B on set and he was jamming ! He made OTR a whole vibe! My day started from 1 pm to 2 a.m so you can imagine when the last set was over , I was over ! It was a long and beautiful day. I admire everyone that came out and showed support.

(It was such a busy day I have no pictures)

Tuesday (The Ceremony)

The Ceremony was held at Canton Hall sister to The Bomb Factory. The Ceremony was held so that the Dallas community could come out and see some of our best artist get  recognize. Throughout the Ceremony  different artists & bands performed, the performances that caught my eye was M3CCA, Medicine Man Revival  & 88Killa. Whom all performed covers of popular Dallas Musician.
