As you
may have couldn't help but notice, yesterday we had a little
#FuckLove thing going down. Fortunately that meant we were protected by the deluge of opportunistic rappers releasing crappy love songs as a marketing gimmick, but unfortunately that meant we missed out on two worthy but love-centric new projects:
The World Famous Tony Williams' "
The King or the Fool" and
Brother Ali's "
The Bite Marked Heart". And since (most of) you have the attention span of a 4th grader whose Riddlin prescription ran out, I'm folding both into one post.
First up is The World Famous Tony Williams, best known as Kanye's go-to writer and singer; he's appeared multiple times on every Yeezy solo album (see "
Spaceships"). "The King or the Fool" is Williams' first major attempt to establish himself as a solo artist, and his obvious connections helped secure features from
Ye, John Legend and The Kid Daytona, along with production from
Bink!, No I.D., Hit-Boy and more.
Up next is
Brother Ali, who continues to be one of the more honest and fearless emcees in the game. "The Bite Marked Heart", as the title suggests, is a 7-track tale of the joys and pains of love featuring
Phonte, Stokley Williams and
Aby Wolf. (Warning: This album contains absolutely no swag.)
