DJ Paul|Scale-A-Ton

I figured someone on the site would call us on DJ Paul not being in, but no one said anything (Maybe everyone was too busy downloading Relapse). While we could just forget this album and check it under the “who gives a shit” column, it’s on the album list Read more

K.A.R.|Joe Crack & Pistol Pete Present: K.A.R.

In all honesty, this album was real close to not being reviewed at all. We don’t have much information about K.A.R. (aka Kill All Rats). We know they are cosigned by Fat Joe and were featured on his “300 Brolic (remix)”. We know that, the guy who runs the label their signed to, Pistol Pete Read more

Cappadonna|Slang Prostitution

Cappadonna’s career in Hip-Hop has been an interesting one. While he had stellar appearances on Wu-Tang branded albums such as the classic Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… and Wu’s 2nd album Forever (Just to name a few), there always was the question…is he in Wu-Tang or not? Read more

Unk|2econd Season

A year after making the country “Walk it Out” and after taking YouTube under siege with “2 Step”, Unk is back for his sophomore album titled 2econd Season. Success breeds envy. Whether you call it envy or hate, Unk ruffled some feathers last year with his catchy songs and simple lyrics. Read more

ByrdGang|M.O.B.: The Album

When I reviewed Jim Jones’ Harlem’s American Gangster album in February, I honestly thought that I had filled my Jim Jones quota for the year. Not to say that I don’t like Jimmy; he a charismatic fellow. With all the flack the South gets for not having intricate lyrics, it’s funny that a guy who is currently in the fore front for New York is lacking in that category. With all that bullshit aside, I think everyone is waiting to see what Jimmy does next. Well, for one he’s bringing in his own crew that’s not called Diplomats; ByrdGang. Read more

Blood Raw|My Life: The True Testimony

After the explosion of his boss/rhyme partner Young Jeezy back in 2005, Blood Raw and the CTE label had big things on the horizon. But after killing the mixtape circuit and appearing on the USDA album, Blood Raw’s time is now. Piggybacking Jeezy’s career is one thing but making it on his own is another. Read more

Tyga|No Introduction

At age 18, Compton/Gardena’s own Tyga already has a lot going for him. He’s signed to Lil’ Wayne ‘s Young Money label, while also being signed to Fall Out Boy member Pete Wentz’s Decaydance Records. In addition, Tyga’s cousin is Travis McCoy, lead vocalist of the group Gym Class Heroes. Read more

Lil’ Scrappy|Prince of the South

Despite being the flagship artist on Lil’ Jon’s BME Recordings, Lil’ Scrappy never reached the potential that was expected. After pushing 500K on his debut and a disappointing 382K on his follow up, Scrappy went on to sign a joint deal with Warner Brothers for his upcoming album Prince of the South. Read more

MJG|Pimp Tight

After 8Ball released his sixth solo album in April 2008, I guess it was partner MJG’s turn at the plate. With this being only his second solo album release in over 10 years since No More Glory in 1997, does MJG hold up the standard or prove that 8Ball & MJG are better together as a group than solo artists. Read more

Hurricane Chris|51/50 Ratchet

As hard as it might be to believe, I really don’t have anything against Hurricane Chris. Is it my fault than when I first saw him I thought, “Who is this chick trying to take Da Brat’s style?” Then I found out he was a guy. My bad. I guess a lot of people don’t make that mistake anymore since his single “A Bay Bay” blew up. Read more
