Swoope- Sonshine 

“I got more drive than a Honda/I got more Rhimes than Shonda/Shootin’ more shots than Kobe Bryant versus four guys playin’ Contra”

I’ve always appreciated how Swoope cares about fluidity in his albums. It’s evident to me that he chooses to pull in elements from the next song at the end of the current song in order to make everything flow together. 

On “Never Left” Natalie Lauren (fka Suzy Rock) brings in the theme right away. The beat is full of brass and a lot of synth layers. I feel like the beats on this project tell a story. Swoope treats the beats with as much intentionality as he does his flows and how his performances grow, the beats are a performance in themselves. Beatbreaker brought some heat on this track, and that switch up in the back half of this song is bonkers. The flow here is on point too.

#throwbackthursday Album Review: High Society 'Circa MMXI: The Collective'
highsocietythecollective_w.jpg

Careful. While music is, by definition ‘an expression of emotion’, we must not be so ignorant as to give such creative leeway to a Christian artist. And God forbid giving it to an entire GROUP of such musicians.

Enter stage left Sho Baraka, Swoope, Suzy Rock, J.R, collectively known as High Society. Their first album, Circa MMXI: The Collective’is as expansive as World Music or a Phil Collins record. In a genre that has pigeon-holed itself as extremely methodical and predictable, High Society has managed to build an album that can easily be listened to from beginning to end. In fact, it would be an injustice to oneself to skip even a single track on this album.

Android OEMs can’t compete with Apple head-on. Android is showing some encouraging signs, which might eventually dislodge the iPhone-maker’s position in the market, but it’s going to take a company like Google to do it. Apple’s quarterly earnings release for the last fiscal quarter shows us why.

Apple released the new and hotly anticipated iPhone X (or 10) in 2017. It was priced at $999 for 64 GB and $1149 for 256 GB of storage and had two new attention-grabbing features: a much bigger new OLED screen, and FaceID, vastly improved facial recognition. It was the first significant change to an iPhone since 2015, and it underwhelmed many — including us.
