DJ Khaled - KHALED KHALED Album Review

31 year old genre bender Teezo Touchdown is here with his debut studio release! The Texas native is known for his creative production and interesting vocals, which combined in to some of the most unique music coming out right now. Will his creative ventures pay off, solidifying him at the face of the new generation (31 btw) OR will he be ridiculed and bullied by a bunch of motherfuckers who have no musical ability at all? 

Find out in our review of Teezo Touchdown's, "How Do You Sleep at Night?" 

Date Recorded: September 20th, 2023

To anyone who has listened to our content whether it was from the beginning or if you’re just listening for the first time, all of us from 808’s & Cold Takes would like to give a special thank you for being along this journey with us.

Depending on what you consider the definition of an album or mixtape or studio playlist is.. For All The Dogs is the 8th solo studio album from Drake? 9th studio album?  Irrelevant. 

Toronto’s own Aubrey Graham, better known to the world as Drake, has been doing everything he possibly can to stay on top of the music industry. Seemingly dropping at least one to two projects a year for the last four years in a row, AND publishing his own poetry book “Titles Ruin Everything”, Drake has been showing no signs of loosening his grip on mainstream hip hop and mainstream pop music. In 2023, he’s throwing himself back into the fold with his newest studio album, For All The Dogs. 

With 23 tracks (not counting the extra 6 tracks that just dropped last week), and the cover art provided by his own son Adonis, For All The Dogs fills its 1 hour and 25 minute run-time with loads of wavy production and features ranging from popular newcomers (Yeat, Sexyy Red, Teezo Touchdown) and some more familiar names (21 Savage, J. Cole, SZA, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Chief Keef, Bad Bunny, Lil Yachty). 

Joining us on today’s episode is returning guest and honorary 808’s member, Johan Rodriguez!

Here is our review of Drake’s 2023 full length studio album, For All The Dogs. 

Date Recorded: October 10th, 2023.

Former child TV star turned pop star sensation is BACK with her second studio album, "GUTS". In an attempt to follow the success of her first album, "SOUR", Olivia does her best to bring the hits as well as the angsty teen energy that was really the whole charm of her debut. 

To no one's surprise, the former Bizaardvark cast member delivers one of the biggest pop albums of the year, and continues to push her agenda for one of the most popular up and coming artists of our generation.

Joining us on today’s episode is returning guest, Talia Polk!
