Camp Lo|Another Heist
October 19, 2009 by Saule Wright · 3 Comments
As an artist, the thinnest of lines are the ones between growth, signature style, and success or failure. Camp Lo hit the music scene hard with the debut album Uptown Saturday Night which featured hit singles like “Lucihini (This is it)”, “Coolie High”, and Read more

Fat Joe is a Hip-Hop pioneer in his own right, having put YEARS in the game, rapping with some of the illest MC’s out (D.I.T.C), and he had a couple of protégés under his wing (Big Pun, Remy Ma). But times have changed and so has his crew. Long gone are the days of Read more
Brother Ali|Us

It’s been nearly ten years since Brother Ali’s debut album Rites Of Passage (Which I’m still trying to get my hands on) was released. Little has changed since then. He is still putting out superior albums release after release…even his EP’s stay positively consistent Read more

Given the current state of Hip-Hop music in 2009, a resurgence of “real” Hip-Hop music and return to the lyricism as heard on classic albums of the 90’s has been seen with recent releases like Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… PT II, KRS-One & Buckshot’s Survival Skills, and Marco Polo & Torae’s Double Barrel.

September 29, 2009 by King Jerm · 9 Comments
Since I’m the in house Southern reviewer, I thought I would revisit one of the more underrated groups out of Atlanta, Playaz Circle and their second album Flight 360: The Takeoff. Not too much has been heard from the group that bought you “Duffle Bag Boy” back in 2007. Read more

Ghostface Killah|Ghostdini: The Wizard Of Poetry In Emerald City
September 28, 2009 by B-Easy · 9 Comments
Ghostface Killah doing an R&B theme/inspired album really shouldn’t surprise anybody. Songs like “All That I Got Is You”, “Never Be The Same Again”, “Beauty Jackson”, & “Back Like That” already proved that when it comes to the subject of the love or the opposite sex, Tony Starks provides Read more
Lil’ Boosie|Superbad: The Return Of Boosie Bad Azz
September 21, 2009 by V-G · 27 Comments
Lil’ Boosie is an interesting artist. Although he isn’t one of the most lyrically inclined, he’s well-known and mostly respected after almost 10 hard earned years in the game. If you ask, most people will identify Boosie by his high-pitched voice Read more
New Boyz|Skinny Jeans And A Mic
September 18, 2009 by V-G · 40 Comments
Before anybody jumps to conclusions, let me say, don’t ever write off an artist before you listen to them. I, personally, only have vices with artists I have listened to and don’t like. With that being said, I’m sure no one, NO ONE, here can actually say they like the New Boyz Read more
