My Top 100 Songs of 2021 (100-50)

We have had quite a big year for music with plenty of big name artists dropping albums such as Kanye West, Drake, J.Cole, Don Toliver, Young Thug, Dave and many more. Each year I will compose my top 100 favourite tracks of the year.

The first 80 songs will be presented with just the name and artist while the top 20 will have a more in depth view.

Note: This is not my Spotify Top 100 as that playlist contains many songs not released this year

Honourable Mentions

• Kanye West ft KayCyy, Conway The Machine & Westside Gunn-Keep My Spirit Alive Pt.2
• (YSL) Young Thug ft Bslime & Don Toliver-No Surprise
• Bas ft J.Cole & Lil Tjay-The Jackie
• Kevin Abstract ft $NOT & Slowthai-SLUGGER
• YSL & Strick ft Skepta-WokStar

100. Isaiah Rashad ft Young Nudy & Kal Banx-Deep Blue

99.Joel Corry & Jax Jones ft Charli XCX & Saweetie-OUT OUT

The Kanye West remix of the orginal is still superior :).

98.Shouse & David Guetta-Love Tonight

97.Kanye West ft Roddy Richh & Shenseea-Pure Souls

96.Ben Reilly ft Abstract Media & Miseye-Finsta

95.KSI ft Future & 21 Savage-Number 2

Say what you want about him but KSI has produced some decent bangers the past couple of the years.

94.Riton ft Mufasa & Hypeman-Friday

93.Sam Silver ft A$AP Twelvyy & pineappleCITI-Little After Sunset

92.Fredo ft Dave-Money Talks

91.DJ Khaled ft Lil Baby & Lil Durk-EVERY CHANCE I GET

90.KSI ft Lil Durk-No time

89.(YSL) Young Thug ft Strick & Kid Cudi-Moon Man

88.Isaiah Rashad ft Jay Rock & Jay Worthy-True Story

87.Son Diezal ft Raury & Protoje-Saviour

This was recently removed from Spotify because Son Diezal samples artists in his own songs without permission but credits them as a featured artist so it may be a little difficult to find this one. Nevertheless what he created was a banger.

86.WILLOW ft Kid Cudi & Travis Barker- T R A N S P A R E N T S O U L Remix

85.Spinabenz, Yungeen Ace & FastMoney Goon- Who I Smoke

Probably the craziest use of a sample I have ever heard.

84.Kanye West ft Vory-God Breathed

83.Last Night In Paris-Crash

I really recommend listening to LNIP, there a RNB/Hip-Hop group with lots of members. Check out Soiree, one of the best songs of 2018. They don’t release much so its always a treat when they do.

82.Don Toliver ft Baby Keem-OUTERSPACE

81.Ed Sheeran-Bad Habits

80.Doja Cat ft The Weeknd-You Right

79.Tory Lanez-Enchanted Waterfall

78.Last Night In Paris-Drip Down

77.IDK ft SiR-Temporary Love (Extended Version)

Its great when an already good song is made even better with an extended version. IDK & SiR are so underrated.

76.Jason Derulo & Adam Levine-Lifestyle (David Guetta Remix)

75.Brent Faiyaz ft Tyler The Creator-Gravity

We need more Brent & Tyler they work so well on this track.

74.Nicki Minaj ft Drake & Lil Wayne-Seeing Green

73.(YSL) Young Thug & Gunna-Ski

72.Don Toliver-2AM

71.FKA twigs ft The Weeknd-Tears In The Club

70.Trippie Redd ft Juice WRLD-Matt Hardy 999

69.Baby Keem ft Kendrick Lamar-Range Brothers

As stated in my Melodic Blue album review, the ending to this song really holds it back in terms of replayability.

68.Abstract Media-War

Similar to Last Night In Paris, Abstract media remind of an early Brockhampton, a group with versatile members that produce banger and banger. Abstract Media are really talented at creating infectious hooks to their tracks with War not being an exception. Their best work was released last year with Brolic.

67.(YSL) Young Thug & Gunna ft Travis Scott-Diamonds Dancing

66.Kanye West ft Vory-No Child Left Behind

A now iconic track that started the hype around the release of the excellent ‘Donda’ album

65.The Kid LAROI ft Justin Bieber-Stay

64.Young Thug-Faces

63.The Weeknd-Take My Breath

62.Drake ft Kid Cudi-IMY2

61.Lisa-Money

One of the catchiest songs of the year that is let down by the beat switch towards the end of the song.

60.Juice WRLD-Already Dead

59.Young Thug-Contagious

I think Punk disappointed me the most this year especially with the star studded list of features. However the stand out moments had to be faces and contagious both with eloquent instrumentals

58.Elton John & Dua Lipa-Cold Heart (PNAU Remix)

57.Isaiah Rashad ft Project Pat & Juicy J-RIP Young

56.The Weeknd ft Ariana Grande-Save Your Tears (Remix)

A guilty pleasure it has be said.

50.Drake ft Travis Scott-Fair Trade

That concludes the first 50 onto the next 29 tracks.

49-21

Top 100 Songs of 2021 (The Top 20)

20.BROCKHAMPTON-DON’T SHOOT UP THE PARTY

BROCKHAMPTON used to be one of my favourite musical acts up until iridescence. Since that album, i’ve been let down with each release wth only a few songs standing out. Their latest album is an improvement and ‘Don’t shoot up the party’ is a song I would put on the same quality level as the saturation trilogy. There’s a lot of great energy throughout this song which reminded me of the likes of BOOGIE and JUNKY. Matt Champion verse is a personal favourite of mine as he raps using clever wordplay over the addictive instrumental.

19.Drake ft Future- N 2 Deep

A song split into two with the latter part featuring Future. In the first part, Drake is wanting a girl while the second part is more about getting with the girl but not getting “in too deep” with his feelings. The second half of the song is the highlight for me with addictive chorus and a Travis Scott esque sound that drives the song into a more braggadocios vibe. Future really is excellent in this and I don’t really know why, his part is short and sweet.

18.Slowthai ft A$AP Rocky-MAZZA

I’ve never really liked Slowthai’s music or generally his sound, however the introduction of A$AP Rocky changed everything as the two blended well together with Slowthai delivering a solid verse and great chorus while Rocky delivers one of the features of the year as he rides the synthetic vibrating beat.

17-Charli XCX-Good Ones

A pop song about self sabotage as Charli always picks the bad ones instead of the good ones. I get quite the 80s/ early 90s vibe from this song that is quite short in length which is more to its credit as it does not drag on like a lot of songs can be accused of these days.

16.Skepta-Bellator

Skepta brings the usual energy you expect from a Skepta track on Bellator which has exceptional flows and overall catchy song. A perfect song to get you pumped before a workout.

15.Swedish House Mafia & The Weeknd-Moth To A Flame

The weeknd and Swedish House mafia deliver a banger with low key vocals from the Weeknd over a

14.Trippie Redd ft Playboi Carti-Miss The Rage

I see a lot of people saying they prefer the original version to the now released version but I disagree, one of the best insturmentels of the year with a well delivered verse and chorus by Trippie and Carti did what he had to do too, creating a raging hit.

13.Travis Scott-Escape Plan

I have always been a big fan of Travis Scott’s music, there is rarely anything he releases that I don’t like and Escape Plan is your typical post Astroworld track that delivers because its a banger. It its not broken why fix it?

12.Big Sean & Hit-Boy ft Lil Durk & Bryson Tiller-Loyal To A Fault

Big Sean & Hit-Boy latest EP ‘What You Expect’ seems to have been swept under the carper as soon as it was released. Loyal to a fault is a really excellent track with every verse sounding unique with each voice blending well. Bryson Tiller is the highlight delivering the background vocals on the chrous as well as the closing verse. The music video is also great.

11.Khalid ft 6LACK & Lucky Daye-Retrograde

Khalid realy brings the guitars and strings to create a chilled vibe with some help from some friends. A soulful track that will have the chorus stuck in your head for days.

10.Cochise ft $NOT-Tell Em

Production. Chorus. $NOT feature. These 3 things have made this absolute banger of a song. The slow opening building up the hype to the hard hitting instrumental is something that gets you going. Cochise delivers a repetitive chorus that sticks in your head in a good way. However $NOT steals the show with probably my favourite featured verse of the year which is a dark verse that fits so well with the chaotic drums. Although its short, the verse is still the clear highlight.

9.FLETCHER ft Trevor Daniel-Bitter Remix

A guilty pleasure song of mine i have to admit. A song about two people thinking about their ex partner when their with other people. Its quite an emotional song about breakups especially with FLETCHER hard hitting emotional chorus. I prefer the remix as Trevor Daniel for me adds more to the song as we see the male’s perspective from the situation. The song is a bit of a banger I can’t lie.

8.Iann Dior ft Trippie Redd-Shots In The Dark

This love driven track has both artists in their feelings over a beat created by 2021’s MVP Mike Dean. Especially Iann’s chorus, the song is incredibly catchy. Iann Dior continues to show his potential that he could be the next big thing and shots in the dark is a collaboration that is a step in the right direction in my eyes.

7.Kanye West-New Again

Either version could be on this spot as I feel Chris Brown’s vocals did add a lot but Kanye still does a great job replacing him. I really love the start of the song and then it goes up another level when the beat kicks in as Kanye flows across another excellent Mike Dean produced instrumental. The song will get you screaming “Make Me New Again”.

6.Kanye West ft Travis Scott & Baby Keem- Praise God

A dark nightmarish instrumental with 3 of the biggest names in hip-hop in it? Yes please. Travis and Kanye deliver as usual but the standout is Baby Keem who is slow, repetitive, almost mumbling at the start of his verse which builds for his ultimate explosion into an excellent verse.

5.Skrillex, Justin Bieber & Don Toliver-Don’t Go

A song that kinda went under the radar for me. Hearing Skrillex produce non dubstep songs is something I will probably never get over. Justin Bieber and Don Toliver really shine and the highlight is most definitely when their trading bars on the third verse after both delivering wavy verses of their own.

4.Kanye West-Hurricane

Ahhh one of my most anticipated verses of all time, was finally released. I remember watching the first listening party and hearing Lil Baby’s verse for the first time and nearly losing my s**t. He really does float on this song and I have no idea why people wanted him removed. However obviously The Weeknd steals the show with his angelic vocals and really hits those high notes with a big impact. I do prefer the released version over the original Ant Clemons version, but it was a close call.

3.IDK ft Offset-Shoot My Shot

Now into the Top 3. I need more IDK & Offset music immediately. These two worked so well together both delivering exceptionally smooth verses. I particularly love when it sounds like Offset’s verse is about to end and then he just changes gears and carries on, brilliant stuff. Strong bars and production=Absolute banger this that needs more recognition.

2.A$AP Rocky-Sandman

This song was originally previewed on Yams Day in January and its been a long wait until its full official release. I fell in love with this song as soon as I heard it. The production from Clams Casino was perfect, throwing back to the old Rocky days, it especially reminded me of ‘LVL’ one of my favourite Rocky songs. I love Rocky’s lyrics over the ‘cloud rap beat’ which shows that the chemistry between himself and Clams Casino is still strong. I hope for more Clams Casino production on the upcoming A$AP Rocky album ‘All $miles’.

1.Isaiah Rashad-Headshots (4r Da Locals)

And here it is my number one song of the year. Isaiah was right at the start of this song when he says he’s got a jam because this is the biggest of the year. I have been bumping this song nearly every day since its release. The verses delivered by Rashad are solid but the chorus is so damn smooth with its catchy lyrics and beautiful backing vocals, I just find myself singing it throughout the day. Isiah’s vocals make it so soothing to listen too, this song is perfect to just chill to whether it be in your room, with your friends or just driving around. This is a real classic and takes the number 1 spot as my favourite song of the year.

If you’ve made it this far, thanks for reading and feel free to tell me your favourite songs of the year.

A Man Named Scott Honest Review

Kid Cudi, one of the most inspirational musical artists of all time teams up with Amazon to present an in depth look at his life during his career starting from his roots from Man on the Moon all the way to his latest release of Man of the Moon III.

Joined by the likes of Kanye West, Plain Pat, Schoolboy Q, Jaden, Dot Da Genius, A$AP Rocky, Shia LaBeouf and many more, this musical documentary explores the rise of Kid Cudi and the struggles he find with fame and drugs as his success grows and grows.

Before the review begins I must point out I am a big Kid Cudi fan and to see him so happy with himself now is really beautiful and shows through the dark times you will find the light.

Man On The Moon: The birth of an Instant Classic

Man on the Moon is really one of the best albums of all time. Cudi become a role model for millions of kids around the globe who had no one to look up too. I never realised Day N Nite had been around since 2007. Man seeing all these classic tracks being revisited and the thought process behind them is awe inspring. The way Solo dolo’ iconic haunting instrumental was created is incredible and seeing tracks like this being created really shows the creativity and work that is required in order to create stand out music. Its obvious to see how this album was so revolutionary due to its sound being so different from the typical gangster rap of the era and Cudi shows that you can be different and successful, the norm does not have to be followed.

Man On The Moon II: The Other Side of Fame

The look on Plain Pat’s face when asked about Man on the Moon II triggers a sense of uncomfortableness. As him fame rose his happiness decreased with drugs especially cocaine being used to “escape from reality”. An Arrest and altercations with fans followed showing this was one of the darkest periods during his career. This section makes you understand tracks like Mr Rager more as you can hear as well as now see what he was battling during this era. It’s an interesting insight to see these darker periods knowing Cudi has come out strong in the present day and seeing the obstacles he has come over is inspirational to those going through similar problems.

WZRD: Listen to my Heart

Probably one of the most interesting parts of the documentary was the WZRD listening party. I had never seen or heard of this footage before but the passionate rant Cudi goes on shows the state of mind he was in, that his passion could sometimes trigger a ball of rage which can come of as aggressiveness, but when in reality he just wants you to listen to what he has to say from his heart rather than having to say what others want him to say (In relation to him constantly being told to make a radio hit).

Indicud: The Love of Performance

Indicud created my favourite song of all time “Just What I Am” featuring King Chip. Damn I wish I was at that Coachella show where he bought out King Chip, I would have wept my eyes out, I have this strong deep connection with that song it makes me feel different every time I press play. We really see Cudi’s love for performing and his fans in the montage that goes with the Indicud chapter.

Note: I never knew Cudi did a version of the classic OutKast Track “Chonkyfire”, that s**t was dope.

Speedin Bullet 2 Heaven: The Darkest Timeline

Its no secret that this experimental album did not go down well with critics however its obvious to me this album was used to push his creativity further while it was also needed for Cudi to express his inner emotions through the only way he knew how at the time, through music. Emotions ranged from sadness to all out rage. Cudi states that he was in a even worse way than during the Man On The Moon II era and does not really want to talk about any of the songs on the album. We get the impression this was the time where Cudi lost a lot of people and began to feel isolated from the world.

Passion Pain & Demon Slayin: Tackling the Addiction

The documentary is excelelnt for showcasing the struggles of drug addiction. We see that Cudi begins using to then becoming sober to then begin using again as he deals with his personal demons. A common phrase reiterated is the idea of shame. Cudi past would dwell on him as he references his past relationships and how the thought of letting people down would eat him alive at times.

The Facebook post from Cudi tagged alongside the famous video of Kanye telling people his “brother” has checked into rehab , sparks a range of emotions from sadness to relief. This was one of the best decisions in his life as I feel this saved his life. The montage of fans talking about Cudi’s music is powerful and really shows the impact he has had on people, an impact not many artists can say they have had.

KIDS SEE GHOSTS: The Return of Moon Man

Kid Cudi and Kanye West perform as Kids See Ghosts

The closing section of the documentary shows the importance of Kanye West in his life. When it comes to the Legendary Mr West, people seem to focus on the negatives rather than the positives. Cudi even states how West saved him and I feel Kids See Ghosts help Cudi rediscover not just himself but the positive parts of life.

Closing Thoughts

A very insightful documentary into one of my favourite artists of all time. I love the brutal honesty of Scott as he openly talks about his problems that he has had to deal with and that he acknowledges he has made mistakes which as us fans can sympathise and feel what he went though in his life. This documentary has made me appreciate his music more especially MOTM II and SB2H as I can now visually create an idea of what the thought process was behind these albums.

My only gripes with the resentation of the documentary is that I was not a fan of the artistic dancing or performances. I would have preferred more clips of studio sessions or performances but that’s just me.

For any Kid Cudi/ music fan this is a must watch.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Melodic Blue Album Review 12/09/2021

Hykeem Jamaal Carter Jr. better known as “Baby Keem” has dropped his highly anticipated debut studio album “The Melodic Blue”. He first gained notoriety with the addictive single “orange soda” as well on producing on TDE projects Redemption, Crash Talk & Black Panther.

And now after releasing a mixed bag of singles we are here with the Melodic blue with features from Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott & Don Toliver.

My first thought after completing this album is that Keem is having a lot of fun with this album especially on the tracks with Kendrick. Every song sounds unique which is very uncommon for albums these days so plaudits to Keem. Its evident he is experimenting with a variety of beats from the pop style esque “Pink Panties” to the hard hitting “Vent” to the dreamy “16”. This experimenting has made this one of the most creative projects of the past couple of years.

Off the back of his excellent feature on Donda, Kanye seems to return the favour by allowing the use of his famous drums from “Love Lockdown” on the track “scars”. The drums are used well as Keem questions God over why he can’t seem to find the right partner. 808s has been a clear inspiration for this album and many others.

Time to talk about Keem’s cousin, a rapper some of you may have heard of called Kendrick Lamar. Sound familiar? Anyway the standout tracks from the album come from when these two unite. “Range Brothers” goes so hard with the cousins trading verses over majestic instrumentals that seem to acknowledge that both are destined for greatness. And then the comedic beat switch which I appreciate for comedic value but for replay value it just ruins the song, just make that part a skit if you have too. I actually prefer Keem over Kendrick on “Family ties”. Don’t get me wrong both artists flow over their respective beats but it maybe the more elegant instrumental on Keem’s part which is why I prefer it. Finally onto Vent and all I have to ask is “HAVE YOU EVER BEEN PUNCHED IN YOUR M***********G FACE?” That has been stuck in my head for days. The head banging instrumental makes this an utter banger but i wish the Kendrick verse was kept. Nonetheless I’ll accept just the ad-libs.

Closing Thoughts

Pink Panties completely caught me off guard when I first heard it, I didn’t expect that beat or the vocals on the chorus.

Durag Activity took me a while to get used to but I really appreciated Travis feature and these two should collaborate more in the future hopefully on Utopia.

The track 16 is really beautiful

Was not the biggest fan of South Africa, booman or scapegoats.

Don Toliver never disappoints he really is one of the best in the game at the moment. His feature on Cocoa is just another great feature to add to his collection. Bring on Life of a Don.

Overall a very impressive album from an artist who’s sound I would not normally like. The album has made me want to dive into his discography something I haven’t done apart from a few singles.

Certified Lover Boy Album Review 05/09/2021

Aubrey Graham better known as “Drake” is arguably the biggest star in music right now and he recently dropped his highly anticipated sixth studio album Certified Lover Boy. Boy oh boy I don’t know where to start with this one. I’m a Drake fan especially his old stuff (Take Care,NWTS), I even enjoyed More Life.

However, Drakes more recent catalogue has featured boring, lifeless repetitive projects. I’m talking to you ‘Views’ and ‘Scorpion’ , unfortunately CLB joins that catalogue.

When Laugh Now Cry Later released back in 2020, it generated a lot of hype for me. Then in my opinion Drake took two steps back with Scary Hours II with a hat-trick of mediocre tracks. And then the cover art was released…. In the words of Kanye West this is why Drake is a “Nerd Ass Jock”. I don’t think a cover artwork has made me cringe as much as this has.

Now onto the Album. Ill be honest I really struggled to finish it. The problem with this album is the same as scorpion’s. Most songs involve Drake sounding like he’s putting little to zero effort into it. Also, only Drake could get away with that lesbian line. The features were pretty underwhelming especially Baby, Hov & Durk who just decided to promote his girlfriends business which is hilarious.

I enjoyed the Travis Song a lot, him and Drizzy never fail together. I see a lot of hate for cudi’s feature but I personally enjoyed it, it probably helped that I was so shocked to see him on a Drake project after their beef and the fact this was released during Drake and Kanye’s war, with the latter being close friends with Scott.

Now I move onto the most controversial track…’Way 2 Sexy’ featuring Future and Young Thug. I was hoping for something like ‘D4L’ but with a Thug verse when I saw these three were collaborating again. When I first heard this song I hated it with a passion, the only redeemable quality was thug’s verse. That Right Said Fred sample was horrendous, a song I always hated as a kid. On the other hand, when the music video was released it somehow made the song more tolerable and now I find the hook stuck in my head constantly. This track has gone from the worst to one of the best on the album. Just goes to show that music videos have more power than you think. Don’t get me wrong the song is so bad its tolerable.

Overall this was a very poor album from one of Hip-Hop’s biggest stars. It felt like a chore to listen to and no album by a star of Drake’s magnitude (pop-pop) should be a chore. I can’t see any of the songs being added to my best of all time playlist, the songs I liked were just decent. However, I expect this to sell well though as Drake’s fanbase matched with his radio power is unrivalled at this present time with only Kanye West being able to match it.

DONDA Album Review 30/08/2021

Donda is the 10th Studio Album by one of if not the greatest musical artists of all time. I’ve followed Kanye throughout his career and was overjoyed to see him finally drop one of his most anticipated albums on the 29th August after numerous delays. After multiple listening parties, last minute changes and fired shots at Drake, the album finally arrived at 1pm on Sunday the 29th August.

The album is dedicated to Kanye’s late mother Donda West who was a prominent and influential figure for Kanye throughout his life. Off the back of this album its safe to say Kanye made his mother proud.

Kanye delivers one of his most catchy albums to date with tracks like Moon, Jesus lord, Jonah, Off the grid delivering infectious hooks that will replay in your head for days. Donda is really good at showing ye’s versatility whether it be riding on a drill beat on “off the grid” or pouring his heart out on “come to life”there really is something for every Kanye fan.

What makes Kanye stand out from his the rest is he clear impact on the artists he works with. Every feature feels like they want to be on the album by putting their heart and souls into it. Most tracks these days feature verses just sound like there doing it to cash a pay check but you don’t get that sense from Donda instead you feel the artists have a sense of pride and privilege to be apart of this album that will be remembered for years. Even looking at the reactions of artists who didn’t make the cut (Soulja Boy, Chris Brown) shows how much people wanted to be apart of the album as they knew how big this album would have been.

A song I wanted to focus on was “Jesus Lord” featuring Jay Electronica. The song is heart breaking as we hear Ye’s sorrows over his mother’s loss and how much he still misses her to this day. Lines such as “if I talk to Christ, can I bring my mother back to life?” and ” if I die tonight, will I see her in the afterlife”? epitomises how much Kanye wants to reunite with her and questions whether he has lived a good enough life to join her in the afterlife. This song hits home for those who fear one day losing loved ones.

The Album is not perfect by any means especially towards the end of the album where the pt2 tracks are introduced which feel unnecessary and do not really add much to the album. Other tracks especially towards the middle of the album don’t live up to the high standards of the first portion of the album.

Its evident your usual music review websites are not focusing on the music but rather the people involved or events leading up to the album, notably including DaBaby & Marilyn Manson and the beef between ye and Drake. Therefore giving Kanye latest album a low score without real explanation musically. This sums up modern day music review websites. Music should be judged by the music not by the person no matter how controversial the artists is. With the album set to debut with 300K+sales its clear us “regular people” have a clear different opinion on this album to these so called music “experts”.

+	–
Kanye really gathered the avengers for this project. Its obvious Kanye wanted to take a backseat from rapping and focus on the production which was so crisp and smooth	Tell the vision has a hard beat wasted. If Kanye did his own verse with Pop smoke ad libs then this track could have been so much more.
Mike Dean	Towards the end of the album the quality drops and the part 2 tracks were pretty pointless except Junya
The Weeknd & Lil Baby Floated on Hurricane making it one of Kanye’s best ever tracks	Never abandon your family would have been better than Donda Chant
I had never heard of Vory prior to Donda and he shone on every track he was on. An artist to look out for in the future	Wish we got that Andre 3000 record
Incredible features from The Weeknd, LilBaby, Jay Electronica, Travis, Don Toliver, Keem, Vory, Fivio, Carti, Hov and more…
Ty Dolla singing “Karate” on Junya part 2 just listen to it.
