ALBUM REVIEW: 'Scaring The Hoes' by JPEGmafia and Danny Brown

Scaring The Hoes sees rappers JPEGmafia and Danny Brown celebrating their mutual weirdness. If you want to get kicked out of a house party for ‘scaring the hoes’, play this album (although I can think of much worse examples if you really want to cause utter chaos. Imagine putting Trout Mask Replica on the aux. Or maybe some Merzbow? That’s how you scare the hoes.)

Lil Yachty has evolved. Enter Mega Yachty.

Double Review: 'Stumpwork' by Dry Cleaning and 'Hellfire' by black midi

Jockstrap’s crazy debut album is definitely an AOTY contender.
