Welcome To Heartbreak
Welcome back to another episode of The Record Report!
DISCLAIMER: This episode came out before the Kendrick Lamar vs Drake Beef picked up. If you want to hear our breakdown of the music that came out, peep our full breakdown episode
Anywho, for this week, we'll be taking a dark turn with a review of Kanye West's fourth studio album 808s & Heartbreak.
When this album dropped in 2008, it was a surprise for the music world. Kanye's previous projects were joyous and sometimes experimental but stuck within the forms of Hip-Hop.
However, after suffering the loss of his mother and a hard breakup with his then-girlfriend, 808s was a pivotal turn for the Chicago artist. Instead of using sampled beats to lay down clever rhymes relatable to his listeners, the project instead went into the realms of 80s Nu Wave with a minimalist tone to tell a story of pain and reflection.
With this episode's special guest Z (@ZTVInspire), the guys choose their top three tracks, talk about the criticism at the time of the project's release, and talk about how it eventually became a pillar of the Blog Era of music in the early 2010s.
They also talk about The Kendrick/Drake Beef, Mr. Hudson, and Lil Wayne using autotune.

Welcome to another episode of the Record Report!
For this episode, we're heading back down south to listen to Atlanta rapper Trouble's debut studio album Edgewood.
Mostly produced by Georgia producer MikeWillMadeIt, the original 16-track EP uses a different aesthetic to help Trouble's story of theft, grit, and perseverance. Edgewood also featured a wide array of stars including Drake, TheWeeknd, and Boosie Badazz. It was the only album to make the Billboard 200 before he died in 2022.
In this episode, Ahmad and Vance talk about the album's complex production, Boosie's influence in the rap industry, and what could have been if Trouble had been able to live through his career.
We also talk about what we listen to, how great Cowboy Carter is, and Country Raps.

Welcome back to the Record Report!
In this episode, we'll be taking a trip back over the pond, and back in time to review Cymande's self-titled debut, Cymande.
Dropping only a year after Funkadelic's Maggot Brain and long before other projects influenced the sound of the 1970s, Cymande is a project that uses several influences across the globe to create one of the earliest forms of funk music. Their story is told mainly through separate interviews and the documentary Getting It Back: The Story of Cymande.
Like they always do, Ahmad and Vance choose their Top 3 tracks, talk about the international elements behind the complex production, and why Cymande's music is one that many music (and hip-hop) lovers should give a listen.
We also talk about 'Like That', Amapiano, and take a look through Wale's Billboard charts stats.

Shout Out To The Bunnies
We're glad to see you again for episode 5 of the Record Report!
For this episode, we have Radio DJ and Skater SylvrDolla in the building to talk about Tyler, the Creator's 4th studio album, Flower Boy.
Releasing in the summer of 2017, the Grammy-nominated LP faced tough competition in the rap genre with projects like Jay Z's 4:44 and Kendrick Lamar's DAMN. However, with its list of stars to grace the album from Kalis Uchis to A$AP Rocky, Flower Boy made a statement that summer by debuting at #2 on the Billboard 200, and was met with critical acclaim.
As always, Ahmad, Vance, and SylvrDolla choose their Top 3 tracks, discuss behind-the-scenes notes from FLOWER BOY: a conversation, and find out how the project became a precursor to the Grammy-award winning follow-up Igor.

Welcome back to Season 4 of The Record Report!
Ford this episode, we're heading over the pond to review Little Simz's third album The Grey Area.
Dropping in 2019, The Grey Area was released to critical and commercial success, getting placed on television shows like Ballers, and even grabbing the spotlight on Apple Music in the late 2010s.
From self-love to losing a loved one, the project paints a picture of a world that struggles to balance between a modern utopia and dystopia through Simz's stories.
As always, Ahmad and Vance choose their top 3, debate if the album has grime influences, and talk about some of the stronger themes that the album had.
We also talk about Cleo Soul, Schoolboy Q's new album Blue Lips, and songs for Happy Days.
