I know, I'm a fiend when it comes to this music business. Instead of five songs, here are five Hip Hop/Rap albums that you should listen to this week if you haven't already. There are not ranked in any particular order, so don't trip.

1. "Syre" - Jaden Smith

"Oh, Zein likes Jaden Smith, what a surprise!" Well, this s*** here bumps, so, give it a listen because I'm trying to put you on a wave before it gets too full. This album, in particular, has a very experimental vibe to it while stringing together the basis required for a rap album.

2. "Macadellic" - Mac Miller

First and foremost, Mac Miller is now slept on and people need to wake tf up. This is not an album by definition. It's technically a mixtape, however, this mixtape is straight fire. Flame emoji, flame emoji, flame emoji, wave emoji. If you enjoyed Mac Miller from 2010-2013, this is it. P.S, it's free everywhere.

3. "Thursday" - The Weeknd


"But Zein, The Weeknd is an R&B artist! What is he doing on a list like thi---" I know what I'm doing. Thursday was my favorite tape out of The Weeknd's early miniseries. Gets me in my feelings every time, but I live for it. Let's get emotional together.

4. "Liquid swords" - GZA

GZA, one member of the infamous Wu-tang Clan. This was a breakthrough solo project that carries a heavy wu-tang vibe and features many other members of the group. A must-listen for yearning enthusiasts.

5. "Capital Punishment" - Big Pun

RIP. He's probably better than your favorite modern-day rapper. Gone at 24, but a sound that rings forever. This was when hip-hop was at a different peak than it was today. This is straight fuego. Rock with it.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
