Rich Amiri's New Album 'Ghetto Fabulous' Cements His Name Among Biggest Up-And-Coming Rappers

Underground rapper 'Rich Amiri' has been putting in work this year. His last 2023 project 'Evolution' was aptly titled, as it reflected the rapper's hunger for growth and fame. Singles like 'Can't Die' and 'Poppin' (ft. Lil Tecca) were bouncy, aggressive and showcased Rich Amiri's unique flows and vocals over fresh Pluggnb beats.  'Ghetto Fabulous' takes everything good from his previous album and elevates ideas like never before. Songs such as 'One Call' and 'Codeine Crazy' contain addictive hooks and unique vocal melodies that sit over simple, aggressive beats. One Call, in particular, might just be the single to put Rich Amiri's name on the map, especially as it's begun to see virality on TikTok.  If you've enjoyed projects from similar artists like Ken Carson, Destroy Lonely, and Dom Corleo, be sure to give Rich Amiri's latest album a listen here: 

I’ll Still Be Bumping Yeat’s New Album In The Afterlife

Yeat has time-and-time-again pushed the boundaries of flows, beats and vocal styles that can be considered hip hop. His latest album Afterlyfe proves that rap is as alivë as it ever was, with fresh beats produced by BNYX and impressive features.

MadeinTYO Takes Risks and Switches Up on Newest Album 'NEO TYO'

MadeinTYO, Atlanta-based rapper, has released his long-awaited album, "NEO TYO". This is the rapper's first full-length album in three years, and it has been received somewhat positively by both fans and critics. TYO's lackadaisical style is well-continued with this project, and it's something fans of the artist will likely enjoy.      The album opens with all-new ideas. The first few songs have spacey, trance-like beats with psychedelic transitions in between melodies. MadeinTYO heavily experiments with melodic, autotuned vocals, and it pays off on songs like 'Mobbing Through' and 'So Many'. Songs such as 'Stunt' show an ability to adapt to many of the newest evolutions in hip hop production. There's no lack of variety throughout the project, although certain flows feel stale including verses on 'Must Be Nice' and 'Jazzy'.      Deeper into the album, certain songs feel heavily influenced by older work from other artist
