IDK – e.t.d.s. A Mixtape by .idk

Duality is embedded in the very meaning of IDK's stage name: his rap is both "ignorant" and "conscious." On "E.T.D.S.", however, it is the "I" that takes center stage. Its content is devilish and gangsta. Yet in reality, this faux mixtape- which takes us back to the days of DJ Whoo Kid and G-Unit - is a carefully crafted album, one that does not abandon its urge to preach a moral message.

BUNNAB – Bunna Summa (Ice Cream Summer Deluxe)

Atlanta rapper BunnaB is more than just "Bunna Summa," the perfect summer anthem for carefree girls having fun in the sun. It's also the entire album of the same name, especially in its Deluxe edition: a playful, exuberant celebration of female pleasure, sexual freedom, and independence that's as funny as it is empowering, while making brilliant use of trap music's oldest tricks.

MCKINLEY DIXON – Magic, Alive!

McKinley Dixon, this is artistry through and through. A jazz-infused musical framework, with real instruments weaving unpredictable flourishes. Lyrics that tell a story, play with layers of meaning, and explore major themes. Guest appearances from artists rooted in other genres, or from the same school of rap. And in the end, an album filled with standout moments and, yes, a touch of magic.

DOMINO – Domino

With his sing-song rap delivery, party-oriented themes, and the hit singles "Geto Jam" and "Sweet Potatoe Pie," Domino represents a key step in the evolution of California gangsta rap toward ever greater smoothness, warmth, and melody. He is the missing link between Snoop Dogg's debut and Warren G's first album, even if posterity will remember those two more than him.
