Lil Yachty drops fifth album ‘Let’s Start Here’

With his iconic red braids, signature unorthodox voice and goofy internet persona, Lil Yachty has never had trouble being impressionable. His music always favored the eccentric use of his voice and autotune with catchy hooks that are often used in internet memes: impressionable, but not sustaining any depth.

Dirty Heads’ eighth studio album ‘Midnight Control’ slaps

One thing I love about Dirty Heads is while they have an extremely signature sound, it’s still nearly impossible to put your finger on exactly what makes Dirty Heads the Dirty Heads.
