‘Ramona Park Broke My Heart’ by Vince Staples Is A Top Five Album of 2022

‘Ramona Park Broke My Heart’ by Vince Staples Is A Top Five Album of 2022

Nate Spurlin

A true Album of the Year contender must have a level of playback value that surpasses the levels of most albums released throughout the year. I’m writing this on May 12th claiming that Ramona Park Broke My Heart, released on April 8th, has become my go-to album in many scenarios. To put this in perspective, Vince Staples’ newest record has far outlasted the three other albums from Fivio Foreign, EST Gee & 42 Dugg, and Coi Leray that were released on April 8th in my music listening diet. Additionally, Ramona Park Broke My Heart is on pace to outlast albums from Pusha T, Future, and Jack Harlow that were released after.

Detroit or Memphis: Where Will The Next Epicenter of Hip-Hop Be?

Detroit or Memphis: Where Will The Next Epicenter of Hip-Hop Be?

As Atlanta’s dominance as the epicenter of Hip-Hop starts the backside of its lifespan, new cities have begun to explode with talent in hopes that their region will be stamped as the next epicenter of Hip-Hop. In my view, two cities have separated themselves from the rest of the pack to this point. The first is Memphis, Tennessee, home of break-out stars like Moneybagg Yo, Pooh Shiesty, and BIG30, as well as Hip-Hop moguls Yo Gotti and the late Young Dolph. The second city Detroit, Michigan, home to Hip-Hop mainstays Eminem and Big Sean has seen a renaissance with new rappers like 42 Dugg and Icewear Vezzo poised to carve out a niche in the game for the Detroit sound. Also sharing responsibility for Detroit's Hip-Hop renaissance is Babyface Ray and his new project FACE may solidify Detroit's up next status.

Expectations For a Lil Durk & Lil Baby Collab Album

Expectations For a Lil Durk & Lil Baby Collab Album

In my view there a collab project can go one of two ways, the first being artists finding common ground with their contrasting styles and the second being artists with similar skillsets attempting to compliment each other on each track. There are multiple examples of successful collab projects using both techniques in recent history. Of course, there are examples of artists with limitless skillsets coming together to create great projects like Future’s collab discography with Young Thug, Juice WRLD, and Lil Uzi Vert. However, I don’t see Lil Baby and Lil Durk as artists with limitless skillsets to this point so, I’ll digress from that and focus on the two methods I previously illustrated.

With the last decade ending in a few letdowns, the expectations for the potential drops of 2020 couldn’t be higher. We’re officially on the lookout for albums from Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti, Migos, and many more.
