Paris Texas - They Left Me With the Sword + They Left Me With a Gun
Another pretty interesting pick from @lowkitz , and a pretty special one at that! I've discovered some pretty great albums through this thread (Some notable examples are When the Smoke Clears... and Different Class), and MID AIR has been one of my favorites. I really loved the energy throughout the record, and it's probably in my top 10 of all the records we've done. I haven't really kept up with any of the duo's work since, so this was a welcome pick. I think this is the first time that we've done a "two-pack", so I was initially a bit divided on scoring the EP's separately or together, but I ultimately decided to give them each a score, with a final definitive score for both.

They Left Me With the Sword
"Dogma 95" was a pretty good hype intro, and I like the change in energy with "Red Eyes & Blue Hearts". "Tantrum" was pretty d--- hype too. After a quick interlude, we get another b-----r in the form of "Holy Spinal Fluid". "infinyte" and "El Camino" close the EP off pretty well.

I think this is stellar. I loved every single song, and I have absolutely no complaints. The only "issue" I have is going to be elaborated on in the final summary, so I'll end this part here.
EP Score: 9/10

They Left Me With a Gun
"Superstar" is a great start right off the beat, and I honestly might prefer it over "Dogma 95". That hook is killer. "Twin Geeker" was good, but it's probably my least favorite song on both EP"s. "Stripper Song" and "Mudbone" are great. "H A L O" was awesome, and "No Strings" was a pretty good closer.

I think this tape was pretty good, with some great high points like "Superstar" and "H A L O", but as a whole, I think it's weaker than the first.
EP Score: 7.5/10

Full Summary
Similar to my experience with MID AIR, I had a great time with these two EP's. Although I haven't heard much, I've always liked the new Rap Rock albums that have come out recentyl (s/o Joey Valence and Brae!), and Paris Texas are awesome. My only real issue with these tapes has to be their length. As great as some of these songs are, I feel like they could've been even better if they were fleshed out more. I think that the second EP could've definitely used some more time to breathe. As a whole though, I had a great time with this these two projects, and big, BIG thanks to @lowkitz for the pick.
FAVORITES: Red Eyes and Blue Hearts, Tantrum, Holy Spinal Fluid, El Camino, H A L O
SCORE: 8/10

JAŸ-Z: American Gangster

I’ve listened to this album a couple times this week and it falls into the same trap that most JAŸ-Z albums do for me, where he will drop one song that I really enjoy, then the next song will bore the s--- out of me. I’m not sure what it is because Jaÿ’s rapping is technically sound on every song, but there’s several instances where I go from vibing to wanting to take a nap. I did enjoy hearing the blatant influence this album had on Pusha T’s entire career, which was on my mind for the entire album first listen, but especially Fallin’. Overall I had a good time listening to the album, but I do still not understand why JAŸ-Z is as big of an artist as he is.

Overall score: 7.5
Favorites: Roc Boys (And The Winner Is)…, I Know, Fallin’, American Gangster
Least Favorites: Party Life, Ignorant Sh*t, Blue Magic
