Hip-Hop/Review C. Andrews - Make Your Next Move

C. Andrews’ “Make Your Next Move” is an album born from urgency, resilience, and raw creativity. Drawing inspiration from Tupac Shakur’s legendary work ethic, Andrews crafted the entire project in just three days, writing and recording under intense conditions with little room for error. This immediacy translates directly into the music, where every lyric feels unfiltered, instinctive, and emotionally charged. Recorded in one or two takes per track, the album leans on Andrews’ natural ability to think fast and deliver with conviction.

At its core, “Make Your Next Move” is a commentary on the American justice system, threading together stories of struggle, perseverance, and systemic flaws with sharp lyricism. The result is a body of work that blends deeply substantive messages with powerful production, ensuring the themes hit just as hard sonically as they do lyrically. Andrews’ delivery is unapologetic, striking a balance between personal expression and broader social critique, echoing the urgency of hip-hop’s protest roots while maintaining a modern edge.

What makes this album truly stand out is its raw authenticity. Instead of over-polished perfection, Andrews captures the energy of the moment — an urgency that gives the record both grit and heart. Each track feels like a snapshot of survival, resilience, and the necessity of speaking truth under pressure. “Make Your Next Move” is more than an album; it’s a testament to Andrews’ artistry, proving that real creativity thrives when passion outweighs perfection.
