The Emperor's New Clothes

Image
The Emperor's New Clothes Album ∙ Rap ∙ 2025 Raekwon There’s aging like fine wine, and then there’s Raekwon. The Wu-Tang Clan legend’s solo debut,  Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… , is rightfully revered as one of the greatest rap albums of all time, a benchmark release for the mafioso rap that so many other MCs would attempt to emulate in the decades that followed. But aside from that, his albums from the late 2000s forward unlocked a sharper curatorial ear and are largely more consistent than his works that preceded them. Early Wu-Tang music had an indispensable feeling, and the rapper known as The Chef has found ways to recreate it without allowing it to feel stale. The Emperor’s New Clothes  finds Raekwon delivering more of the lucid street raps that make him great: crystal clear portraiture of characters down to the details of their clothing or the amount of money in their pockets, fluid storytelling, and popping shit while depicting a life of luxury. He’s strongest here while f...

AIN'T NO DAMN WAY!

AIN'T NO DAMN WAY! Album ∙ Electronic ∙ 2025 KAYTRANADA Long before KAYTRANADA was headlining festivals and winning Grammys, he was a child obsessed with JAY-Z’s 2003 record  The Black Album  and its companion documentary  Fade to Black . Watching prolific producers like Pharrell Williams, Just Blaze, Kanye West, and Rick Rubin build beats from scratch, he went from fan to student, poring over album credits and eventually teaching himself to make beats by reverse-engineering J Dilla tracks. By the early 2010s, the Haitian Canadian producer had fused his love of hip-hop with a growing fascination for house music, emerging from the underground with viral edits of Janet Jackson and Teedra Moses songs, all driven by his signature drum swing. Following in the footsteps of his early heroes, KAYTRANADA became a master collaborator: His first three studio albums featured voices from PinkPantheress and Tinashe to Kali Uchis and even Williams himself. On  AIN’T NO DAMN WAY! , ...

STAR LINE

STAR LINE Album ∙ Hip-Hop/Rap ∙ 2025 Chance the Rapper Since his debut mixtape, 2012’s  10 Day , launched 18-year-old Chancelor Bennett to indie stardom, fans have watched the Chicago native grow up in real time—from stoner on high school suspension to precocious hometown hero to God-fearing family man. “I lived an adulthood at a really young age,” Chance, now 32, tells Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. “I was touring and traveling and supporting multiple family members, businesses, friends, everything. I’m damn near a child star, you know what I’m saying?” Marking the journey were three studio mixtapes now deemed classics and an official debut album, 2019’s  The Big Day , on which Lil Chano from 79th stepped with purpose into the roles of husband, father, and adult. The Chance who opens his sophomore album by declaring, “Surprise! It’s the boy who lived,” is not the same man from six years prior; since then, there was the acrimonious split from his longtime manager in 2020, then the 2...

Wishbone

Wishbone Album ∙ Pop ∙ 2025 Conan Gray When Conan Gray announced the arrival of his fourth studio album  Wishbone , he shared in a statement that he wrote the album in secret. While touring his 2024 album  Found Heaven , he would finish shows and sketch demos with zero stakes attached. He showed the songs to Dan Nigro, who helped Gray record his first album,  Kid Krow , way back in 2020. The tracks, created with the sort of vulnerability only achievable when writing without an audience in mind, ended up becoming the bones of  Wishbone , Gray’s cathartic exploration of his foray into adulthood. With his signature blend of beautiful vocals and earworm melodies, Gray opens up his diary to sing about the way romance has changed his life—for better and for worse. The powerful “This Song” finds Gray admitting that it’s easier for him to sing about love for his unspecified partner than it is to utter the words face to face. “Romeo,” on the other hand, begins with a playful ...
