The usual suspects dropped this month with Boldy James, Nicholas Craven & Ransom’s Salvation for the Wicked (gritty street tales over elite, menacing production) and Larry June, Curren$y & The Alchemist’s Spiral Staircase (smooth luxury rap with those organic, laid-back flows we love).

We share our thoughts on Baby Keem’s Ca$ino, the mini-doc series and its rollout genius, whether Keem’s evolved since The Melodic Blue, fave beats/features that slap, commercial predictions, and if he’s leading the new school or not.

Ledbyher - Elephant. Give it a listen. It’s worth it.

Looking ahead we’ve got Denzel Curry & the Scythe’s Strictly 4 the Scythe (6 March), Ms Banks’ South LDN Lover Girl (13 March), Brusier Wolf & Sheefy McFly’s Push & Paint (13 March), Elucid’s I Guess U Had to be There (13 March), Wesley Joseph’s Forever Someday (10 April) – plus, where’s Stove God Cooks hiding? We will see at the end of March.

Also Kiran adds his takes on J. Cole’s The Fall Off and answers whether this project is peak Cole or needs more time to marinate. Spoiler alert … His opinion changes every week and with every listen.
