I reviewed two albums last week for RapReviews. The first was General Monks' Each Step Becomes Elevated. It is a collaboration between Planet Asia and Tristate that is sort of a backpack version of the Wu-Tang's street/kung fu hybrid, only substituting Buddhism for the kung fu.

Lil B doesn't edit himself, records five songs a day, and this mixtape is a waste of time. It's entertaining at times, though. Here's "I'm Miley Cyrus."
