And The Winner Is…
March… It’s that time of the month (no not like that), but for bracket projections, lower seed upsets, and cinderella stories (George Mason anyone?). As with every year around this time, the NCAA Division I Basketball Tournament begins and CBS rules the tube with games. By now I’m sure your brackets are completely filled out [...]
The Devil Wears Business Suits
Being an individual on the pursuit for a career in the music industry, I often find articles like this to be very intriguing. Said article is a posting from industry powerhouse Wendy Day and her blog site The Day Report about the ills of 360 deals, which are becoming the standard for record label deals [...]
Rick Ross feat. John Legend – “Sweet Life”
On paper another Rick Ross & John Legend collaboration looks great. But to be honest with you, I’m really not feeling “Sweet Life” (I may need more listens). So why am I posting it? I guess cause it’s suppose to be off Ricky’s upcoming album Teflon Don. Plus I get to put up the other [...]
The Numbers Game: Ludacris Is #1
Even though I’m not the biggest fan of Battle Of The Sexes, congrats are still in order for Ludacris as he not only gets the #1 spot on this week’s charts, but he also gains his fourth #1 album of his career. Add on that “How Low” has sold over a million copies. And then [...]
Revisted: Leprechaun In Mobile, Alabama
St. Patrick’s Day have never really meant anything to me. Since I’m not a drinker or even remotely Irish, it never was a big deal. Hell, according to King Jerm, Black folks shouldn’t even celebrate the “holiday”.
But for the past few years when St. Patrick’s Day comes around, one thing comes to mind: Mobile, Alabama. [...]
Ski Beatz feat. Jean Grae, Jay Electronica, Joell Ortiz, & Mos Def – “Prowler 2″
After no activity on the site for a few days, we back (I think). And since it’s seems like a lot of people have been waiting on this track, let’s come back on this one. Off Ski’s 24 Hour Karate School (Which drops March 30th).
Update: Instead of making another post, I just added the new [...]
Kanye West|Graduation [2007]
Too soon to call Kanye West’s Graduation a classic album? Not at all. A few years ago when we first opened up the doors here at nappyafro, Graduation was one of the first albums I got to review for the site (Even before we made up our minds to go with the track by track [...]
The Numbers Game: DJ Khaled Is #14
Is 28,000 in the first week a win? Depends on who you ask but DJ Khaled’s latest album Victory grabbed the #14 spot on the chats this week. It is fair to note that Khaled’s albums never do big numbers even with all the a-list features.
Yes there are other new releases this week but I [...]
“Unbelievable”
I hope you guys didn’t think we forgot about the late, great Christopher Wallace aka Notorious B.I.G. We wanted to dedicate this installment to him. While it is HARD to pick ONE song from him, I finally decided on “Unbelievable”. Nuff said. So as always, kick back, and enjoy this installment of Song of the [...]
