Hip-Hop Albums of the Year

Yelawolf & Caskey — Yelawolf Blacksheep


The collaborative tape between Yelawolf and Caskey is the first effort of the year by the Alabama rapper, who returns to publish something after more than a year. On a trap production as tasteless as worthy of an amateur bandcamp work, the two rappers spit bars in back and forth for just under forty minutes, with Cub da Cookup Boss and DJ Paul as the only guests. The tape was created to launch Caskey's career in the mainstream, after a life in the mixtape circuit: the final result sounds very bland and generic, and Caskey doesn't feel at the same level as Yelawolf, which is why the tape never takes off. 4/10.
