Summer Walker’s ability to create relatable music and sing about a toxic relationship was on full display throughout all 20 tracks of this album. Focusing on her past relationship with producer London on da Track, she was truly able to write from the heart. What makes this album a bit more confusing though is that a few of the tracks were written or produced by London himself.

Before I start I will say I am no fan of Drake as a person, but have always enjoyed his music. When this album was released I was not expecting anything revolutionary or mind blowing due to the nature of Drake’s previous releases. I was not expecting Kendrick Lamar’s “To Pimp a Butterfly,” or Kanye West’s “Yeezus” or even another version of Drake’s “More Life” but I still was disappointed. I am not saying this is a horrible album, but it is just lame even for Drake. “CLB” comes off as Drake's most unimaginative and mediocre album to date. As a side note, I will not be mentioning Kanye West’s “Donda” since this is about “CLB” even though it has become common knowledge that these albums are competing against one another.

Hip-Hop stars Kanye West and Drake both released their long awaited albums around the same time a few weeks ago. I won't go in depth on either of them, but I feel like they are both mediocre in comparison to what most people wanted. I feel that the other two artists were too worried about each other and sales and music streams to accomplish anything special. Instead, I have listed a few albums that I have enjoyed more than "Donda" or "Certified Lover Boy" that should have been given the same spotlight as the former.

Seemingly out of nowhere, the artist, SZA tweeted “dumping random thoughts” with a Soundcloud link attached on Aug. 22. This link lead to a Soundcloud account that only had three singles posted. This was honestly a blindside for me as a fan, since there was no buzz of her releasing music anytime soon. Besides a few recent features as of late, she has not officially released music since December of 2020, when she gave us the single “Good Days”. Her last studio album was a long four years ago when she came out with her debut album "CTRL". This dump of three songs isn’t official since it was released under a fake name, but could signal more music from SZA soon.
