Album: Major Key
Artist: DJ Khaled
Label: Epic
Released: July 29

Although DJ Khaled’s presence has been known for some years now his popularity didn’t hit its peak until fairly recently with the creation of his snapchat account, and with that his collaborations with well-known artists like Drake have earned him a spot amongst some of the most loved celebrity figures.

Album: The Electric Warlock Acid Witch Satanic Orgy Celebration Dispenser
Artist: Rob Zombie
Label: T-Boy Records

This album reminds me of the style Rob Zombie previously used in the album, Past, Present & Future, which is a style I love.
