Album Review: Blood Moon: Year of the Wolf | The Game

BY DAN GARCIA

It’s hard to believe that The Game’s debut album The Documentary, was five albums and almost ten years ago. In that time we have seen the rise, fall, and re-union of G-Unit (without Game’s participation of course). We have seen the end of The Game’s relationship with Interscope and finally we have seen a number of decent records by The Game that still don’t come close to his debut. Blood Mood: Year of the Wolf, Game’s first studio album by his newly founded Blood Money Entertainment record label, is yet another album that doesn’t quite come close to the quality of The Documentary, only difference is Jimmy Iovine (of Interscope) doesn’t get a cut of the sales, and this album is a reminder that some rappers need the guidance of a major label.

Vince Staples has been on the radar of many every since his stand-out feature on Earl Sweatshirt’s ‘epaR’, off Earl’s critically acclaimed self-titled mixtape. Lately many have started to take notice of the young rapper’s skills, including none other than Common who recruited Staples for his latest single ‘Kingdom’. Common not only recruited Staples for a feature, but spoke high praise of the MC and described him as a “testament to the diversity of hip-hop.” And while you may know Vince originally from his associations with Odd Future, he has certainly hit the ground running in the past couple of years. From recruiting production and features on his last two mixtapes from Mac Miller, SchoolBoy Q, Ab-Soul, Earl Sweatshirt, Jhene Aiko, and No-Id up to his most latest work with Common, Vince has released his shortest yet most concrete and quality project yet, his Hell Can Wait EP on Def Jam Records.

Album Covers From Childish Gambino’s STN MTN ‘Dream’ Where He Ran Atlanta

BY TER STAFF

In the opening to his STN MTN / Kauai project, Childish Gambino tells us about his dream where he ran Atlanta, which is a theme throughout the tape, and moves into a freestyle over the classic Atlanta rap track ‘Southern Hospitality’ by Ludacris. We took the liberty of showing what it would be like if Gambino ran Atlanta, when Atlanta ran rap, and photoshopped Gambino into some classic Atlanta album covers.
