On “I Got Sumthin’ To Say,” Lordikim flows over the energetic, drum-heavy track to cringe-inducing effect: “Baby, you bad—not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good...

Cuteness permeates every aspect of their newest release, “The Law of the Playground,” from the album title to the album closer “Fairytale Ending...

Disregarding the notion of there being any validity in this odd quantification of our studies, or the fact that we’re less than a month into the semester, peddling notions of our superiority in this way can only amplify the belief that we are smarter than anyone lacking the Harvard name...
