2007 nappyafro Staff Picks

Here’s our personal staff picks and favorites of 2007. Read more

Jozeemo|Cry Now L.A.F. Later

Hailing from the streets of Durham, N.C by the way of Chicago, Jozeemo aims some lyrical hollow points at the listeners on Cry Now L.A.F. Later. A Hall of Justus member, but don’t let that fool you, his music is from/for the streets. Read more

Chingy|Hate It Or Love

Chingy’s back! Did you miss him? Naw, me neither. But seriously, I’ve never really been a Chingy fan. I didn’t like “Right Thurr” or “One Call Away” off of his 2003 debut Jackpot (Shot out to grown up Rudy!). Read more

Jay-Z & Veterano|American Me EP

The other week, my boy Thic hooked y’all up with a good quality remix of American Gangster by Von Pea (American Angster). Well, today I’m giving you what I personally think is the best remix of the album to date. It’s from producer Veterano and it’s called American Me EP. He does something different here since he only does 10 songs instead of the full 15 (He doesn’t remix “Roc Boys”, “Fallin’”, “Party Life”, “Say Hello”, and “Success”). No worries though; what he does choose to remix is impressive. Download the album and check out his MySpace page here.

Lupe Fiasco|Lupe Fiasco’s The Cool

I wasn’t really impressed with Lupe Fiasco’s last album, Food & Liquor. While I liked some tracks off the album and I know he’s talented and people keep telling me he’s talented, I never was a huge fan. Read more

Song of the Week: Snoop Doggy Dogg feat. Dat Nigga Daz, Nate Dogg, Tray Deee, & Bad Azz – “Santa Claus Goes Straight To The Ghetto”

Okay, we know how cliché it is to have a Christmas Rap song for Song of the Week. But hey; what do you do? There were a lot of songs we could have gone with. Jerm was crying because he wanted Run DMC’s “Christmas In Hollis”, P-Body probably wanted something from 2Pac, and Thic probably wanted something by an rapper I never heard of. Read more

Jay-Z & Von Pea|American Angster

I have been pretty open about my opinion of the American Gangster project. It’s aite. I thought it was another step down in the legacy of Jay though. From the Black Album, to Kingdom Come, then to AG; it’s a steady decline. However, Von Pea of Tanya Morgan has helped this CD out. Check this one out! It’s FREE and its DOPE. Thanks Von. Read more

Wu-Tang Clan|8 Diagrams

“Wu-Tang! Wu-Tang!” Yeah, the unthinkable has happened, Wu-Tang Clan has released another album. It’s been six years since Wu released an album and let’s be honest; the climate in Rap music has changed immensely Read more

Gucci Mane|Back To The Traphouse

Okay folks, I’m back at ya once again with another album review for the ‘07, I decided to review Gucci Mane, even though I’m not a fan of his music (I did like that “Trap House” song though; that’s my shit). Read more
