Album Review: To Pimp A Butterfly - Kendrick Lamar 2015

Kendrick Lamar is an incredible musician. Not only lyrically but his instrumental arrangements are unique and creatively addictive. As K. dot he grew in popularity until finally going as Kendrick Lamar with two killer albums: Section 80 and Good Kid, M.A.A.D City. His latest album doesn't have any monster "bangers" but there are a few tracks I've been listening to on repeat. The album isn't meant for you to become engulfed in the beat but it's purpose is for you to listen to his message. You can check out this album on spotify for free by just signing up.

My favorite songs are:

King Kunta

Alright

How Much A Dollar Cost

Check this album out!

Check out this album! Isles by Wild Belle

The first song of this album has shown it's face in a few movies but the rest of this album is pure gold as well. Wild Belle is going to make some waves in the years to come and this is apparent with the success and chill sounds from their first album Isles.

Check out the the first two songs from the album and if that sparks your interest burn through the rest.

"Another Girl" and "When it's over" are also very addictive and deserve recognition.

Album Review: Jack Johnson - From Here to Now to You

After my initial run through I was a little sad with the lack of the old dark and deep Jack Johnson but on my second trip I have to say I'm starting to like this new direction. When To the Sea was release I couldn't help of thinking about other albums like On and On but I've come to realize what I like about him so much. With every new album come a little bit different sound and style. His newest album is definitely worth a look and there are quite a few catchy songs. I usually judge the songs on how much I want to learn them on guitar but I'm just going to have to leave this as a listening album instead of a covering. Check this album out and see what you think.

Jake's Album Choice of the Week#4: Jack Johnson - on and on

I have been listening to Jack Johnson for many years now and whenever I want to get into a very chill/relaxed mood this is the man I turn to. He is a talented guitarist as well as a creative lyricist/singer. More of his albums will definately make my list but this just so happens to be the album I've been listening to recently. Check him out you won't be disappointed!
