BACK-TO-BACK April Now The Hottest Month Of The Year

The month of April has been surrounded with mayhem in the music industry. With the release of Young Thug’s “Slime Season 3” and Kanye West’s remastered “The Life of Pablo”, rap fans around the world have had a handful of music to listen to. Kanye West wasn’t the only GOOD Music artist working on music these past few months. Rap recording artist and actor, Big Sean, recently teamed up with his fellow Def Jam artist Jhene Aiko to collaborate on a project entitled “Twenty88” underneath the name Twenty88. This was not just any project, the artists dropped an 8 song EP. Now you may remember hearing this duo on Big Sean’s Dark Sky album released early last year. “Win Some, Lose some” and “I know” were among fan favorites.
This album is a mixture of sex, love, and pain and can be played for any occasion. Jhene Aiko’s soulful voice combined with Sean Don’s explosive lyrics cause for a complete masterpiece. That’s exactly what it is, a masterpiece. The two kept fans waiting by exclusively streaming their album on Tidal. The album opens with a slow jam giving you a sneak peak of what is to be expected for the rest of the album. Some unique tracks on the album include “talk show” where the duo does a segment that imitates a dating show. The album also includes features from artists like K-Ci & JoJo and Detail. “Push it” and “On the way” serve to show just how dynamic both artists are.
Now this isn’t the first two artist collaboration we’ve heard this year. Rappers Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz recently dropped “College Grove”. But unlike College Grove, this album has a diverse track list that could accommodate a wide range of listeners. The last two tracks take you down memory lane which ultimately leave you wanting more. This album was just a teaser as to what both artists can bring to the table. Individually, both Jhene Aiko and Big Sean are working on music of their own. In the meantime, go check out their short album on Tidal.
