The Vibe Check- Music Reviews

1. LIZZO — Bitch (June 5th) Lizzo recently dropped her new album, Bitch, and we're giving it 4 Gold Roses. Personally, I would've liked to hear more of Lizzo with the flute. I miss that; however, you can't deny her vocals and personality shine through the music. The production choices are excellent, with some crossover vibes that work well throughout the project. It's fun, empowering, and uplifting. She addressed a few things that people wanted to hear her address, stayed true to herself, and you have to appreciate that. 🌹🌹🌹🌹

2. AZ — Doe or Die III (May 8th) After 30 years, we got a breath of fresh air hip-hop needed this return. AZ is back with a new album, Doe or Die III, that did not disappoint. We are giving it 5 Gold Roses. It is everything you need if you are a real hip-hop connoisseur: lyricism, cadence, and storytelling. Not to mention smooth vibes, as displayed on So High, relatability with songs like I Was Once There Too, and vulnerability with an outro titled We Made It. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 

3. HIGHLY ANTICIPATED: YG — The Gentlemen's Club (Dropping June 19th) The Gentlemen's Club is the upcoming seventh studio album by West Coast rapper YG, slated for release on June 19, 2026. The project serves as a deeply personal and transformative chapter in his discography and will be celebrated with a special Black Tie Affair live performance at The Roxy in West Hollywood on June 22nd.
