DC4 REVIEW COMING THIS WEEK

HINT: IT'S FIRE

My least favorite part of Hip-Hop

I am always interested in new, upcoming artists and I always love to see what they have to offer. What kind of flow they have, the beats they use, etc. There are plenty of young artists I enjoy. Denzel Curry, Anderson .Paak, an occasional Lil Uzi, Big K.R.I.T, etc. But there is one artist who is making a splash in the rap game that confuses me. He goes by the name of Lil Yachty. Lil Yachty is an interesting, unique character. He was made in southern Georgia and is currently only 19 years old. He also is known as 'Lil Boat' or just 'Boat'.

His style of music is very very unique. He isn't very lyrically gifted at all, he has even admitted it. He was quoted saying "not every song has to be crazy, if the beat is hard, people will listen to it." He also was quoted saying, "I don't honestly" after being asked if he takes Hip-Hop seriously. So he's just having fun with it, I respect that. I do have to admit, although I'm not a fan of his music, his beats definitely slap, and his melodies are very catchy.

Earlier in the quote from before, he also quoted saying he doesn't consider himself a rapper. The quote continues, "I dunno. I would say artist." After being asked what he was.

So you might be asking, why do you dislike his music so much? There's a few reasons. One reason is the lack of meaning in his songs. There's just no message or meaning that an artist like Kendrick or Cole have in their songs, making their songs equivalent to a drug to me. Another reason I don't listen to him is how wack it sounds. I mean, honestly, it just sounds awful. I can understand if people listen to him while partying or whatever, but listening to him daily? No way. Believe me, I've given him a shot, I've listened to both his mixtapes in complete, and it's just not my thing.

But maybe I'm just being too serious too enjoy his music. But as far as I know, it's complete garbage. I have nothing against him or his fans, it's all just my opinion. And if you're shocked that I said this about him, you should know by know, this blog is very biased. I respect what he's doing and his success, I'll just stick to the good stuff.

Logic announces new album title 'AfricAryaN'

Earlier this week, Logic announced the title of his new studio album. He said in an interview that it will be called 'AfricAryaN' (as of right now). The title was revealed on an episode of Dan Harmon's "Harmontown" podcast. Logic continued to explain what this title means. "It's about me being black and white, and seeing life from two sides, and about that cultural evolution and how you can go from the darkest of skin to the lightest if skin." The quote continues saying, "At the end of the (explicit) day, we all have so many different ethnicities in our blood, no matter how pure we think we are."

In a statement to DJ Booth, Logic's managment said that the title "AfricAryaN" is a working title and that "nothing is solidified yet." I do like the title a lot and I love the concept.

Earlier this year, back in April, Logic met with Rolling Stone for an interview debuting unreleased bars from his new album. Check out the video here:

"I feel the Aryan in my blood, it's scarier than a Blood
Been looking for holy water now I'm prayin' for a flood
Feel like time passing me by, slower than a slug
While this feelin' inside of my body's feelin' like a rug"

He mentions 'Aryan' in these short lyrics found from 'Studio Ambience At Night: Malibu".

If you know anything about Logic, you should know that he never likes speaking on race during his albums. Him being black and white, he feels that everyone should be accepted in society, no matter what race, religion, etc. But just by the title, you could guess that he will be rapping about race.

This album was rumored to release "late 2017", but I definitely think it will be coming out sooner than that. We've already heard snippets of the new album, as well as a title. Knowing Logic, he will drop it as a surprise sometime in 2017. I would expect sooner rather than later.

I can't wait for this drop. As a full time Logic fan, I can't wait to see what he has in store for another possible concept studio album. Stay tuned and stay woke.
