🎙️ This week on The Stem Society, Cole Jackson dives into two big drops.
Joey Bada$$ – Lonely at the Top: Joey trades bravado for maturity, with polished production and introspective themes. But did the rollout promise a different album than what fans got?
Westside Gunn – Heels Have Eyes 2: Griselda’s frontman brings hidden features, coke-rap piano, and gritty verses. But does it measure up to 12 earlier this year, or fall short?
Two heavyweights, two cool listens—did either one deliver?
