Was "Deeper Than Rap'" Rick Ross' Most Challenging Release? (Album Review)

For Case 227, we highlight Rick Ross' Deeper Than Rap album. The Bawse's third studio album was one of his most challenging releases to date, where we'd see him go head-to-head with 50 Cent all while combating allegations that questioned his street cred. But did he come out unscathed?

Is Childish Gambino's Music Unoriginal? ("Awaken, My Love" Review)

For Case 225, we revisit Childish Gambino's Funk/Rock inspired Awaken, My Love. The album was quite the departure from his previous releases and leaned heavily on the sounds of Parliament, Curtis Mayfield, and Sly Stone to name a few. But did Gambino's 70's-driven release make it unoriginal?
