  Review Back At It: Boosie Badazz and Webbie Keep It Between Themselves Twenty-two years after Gangsta Musik, Boosie and Webbie return with ten tracks and twenty-nine minutes — and only Boosie is still fighting for it. Stephen Agorsor 2.5 / 5 The last song on Back At It is called "Pull Up." So is the first. They are separate entries — separate catalogue numbers, same title, both 2:33 — so the record ends where it began. That is not architecture. It is a shrug: the only thing arranged with intent is a rhyme between its two ends. Everything between them has to stand on its own. Most of it does not. Start with the arithmetic, because it is doing work. Ten songs, 29:01, no features billed on any of them, longest track under four minutes. It is the first album credited to just the two of them since Gangsta Musik in 2004; the Trill Fam compilations of 2007, 2010 and 2016 were the label's records, with the label's name on the spine. It arrives not on Trill Entertainment b...

  Anderson .Paak & Cordae Heavy Is The Crown October 23, 2026 · 11 tracks · 32 min Eleven songs, 31:58 by the runtimes, a joint credit on all of them, one single five weeks early, and four label names on one ℗ line. Eleven songs, and the same artist line on every one of them: "Anderson .Paak & Cordae." Not a guest verse — the pair is credited jointly on the album and on all eleven tracks. That is the premise of Heavy Is The Crown , and it is checkable without hearing a note. The arithmetic Add Apple's millisecond runtimes and you get 1,917,836 ms — 31 minutes 58 seconds. Apple's own page prints "11 songs, 31 minutes", because it floors rather than rounds. I'm going with the sum. Five of the eleven tracks get past three minutes; five sit under two fifty-five, and "58th Floor" lands exactly on 2:55. Median 2:55, average 2:54. The longest is "I'm On" at 3:53, and it arrives third, before the record has settled. The shortest i...

  Yeat & Lyfestyle Corporation Luh Leakyz Vol. 1 October 23, 2026 · 14 tracks · 40 min Fourteen tracks, 40:01, every one credited to Yeat & Lyfestyle Corporation — Apple calls it a compilation of loosies, and the title promises a volume two nobody has explained. Luh Leakyz Vol. 1 came out yesterday, 23 October 2026, and the first thing its own page tells you is arithmetic. Fourteen tracks. Apple's runtimes, added up, come to 2,401 seconds — 40 minutes and one second. Apple prints "40 minutes" and rounds the second away. That is the duration as the source states it — and almost everything else here is a claim someone else is making. Forty minutes, cut almost exactly in half The first seven tracks run 19 minutes 30 seconds. The last seven run 20 minutes 31. Whatever else this is, it is assembled to sit level on both sides of a forty-minute bar, and never lets a song run long enough to break that balance. The spread is narrow: "Liv Dis Lyfe" at 2:17 is the...

  KAROL G NO ME ARREPIENTO DE SENTIR TANTO August 7, 2026 · 14 tracks · 43 min Fourteen songs in forty-three minutes, guest turns from Drake and Bruno Mars, and almost nothing allowed to sit still — a record short on padding, long on aftermath. NO ME ARREPIENTO DE SENTIR TANTO is fourteen songs in forty-three minutes, and almost nothing on it is allowed to sit still. Six of the fourteen tracks come in under three minutes. Exactly one — the closing "Después de ti" — runs past four. It is a full-length album that behaves like a set of short messages. The first four make the case The ordering states the thesis up front. "Te llevas To" (2:32) opens and is gone; "Maybe" is shorter still, at 2:24. "Bebiendo Lágrimas" is the first song to reach three minutes, and then "Ahí" (2:56) arrives carrying the record's first real sense of occasion. Apple Music files the opening stretch as urbano latino and pop latino in alternation, and that flick...

Cameron Winter Live at Carnegie Hall A solo-piano document from a consecrated room, with three songs nobody had heard — and a middle hour that doesn't earn its own grandeur. Rating 7.5/10 Review October 12, 2026 Release October 9, 2026 Read 6 min There is something faintly absurd about Cameron Winter playing Carnegie Hall. He was twenty-three years old when he walked into Stern Auditorium on December 11, 2025 — an artist whom the Heavy Metal rollout had introduced as a young man still living with his parents, after his label's own founder doubted the record would sell well enough for him to move out — and the material he brought with him was almost entirely old material: twelve songs, nine of them already released in 2024. Live at Carnegie Hall arrived on October 9, 2026, via Partisan Records, and it is, on the page, the least necessary kind of album. A live record of a year-old setlist, from an artist whose studio debut was already a stark, self-recorded document, released t...

  Blossoms Songs From The Wedding Cake Blossoms trade the stolen gorilla for the registry office, and make their warmest, longest, most grown-up record — with two songs it doesn't need. Rating 8/10 Review October 12, 2026 Release October 2, 2026 Read 6 min Blossoms' last album was named after a stolen fibreglass gorilla. Their new one is named after the building where their singer got married. It would be easy to read the distance between Gary (2024) and Songs From The Wedding Cake as a band hardening into adulthood — but the more interesting reading is that the gorilla was the joke and this is the fact. Stockport Town Hall is nicknamed "the wedding cake"; Tom Ogden was married there in 2021. The band then crashed three weddings across the north-west to promote the record, which is the funniest possible way to sell an album about a wedding cake, and also a sign that they know exactly what they have made. A bigger room, and a different instrument Songs From The Weddi...
