New Boyz|Skinny Jeans And A Mic

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

Beanie Siegel|The Broad Street Bully

If one were to chart Beans’ career/hype on a graph, it would look like the Rocky Mountains. Of course when The Roc was doing things and making noise, it was at it’s zenith. Beans definitely benefited from the influence of Sean Carter as well as Read more

Gucci Mane|Murder Was The Case

Before we get too into this review, I think it’s important that I be honest about one thing: I am not a Gucci Mane fan. I may sometimes find myself nodding my head to some of his songs but can no way be considered a fan. Read more

Mike Jones|The Voice

When most people hear the name Mike Jones, they say ,”Who?”. They’re either in on the joke or they have no clue who he is. When I heard Mike Jones went DOUBLE platinum off of his debut studio album Who Is Mike Jones?; I found myself not saying “who” but more like… WHAT?! Read more

Flo Rida|R.O.O.T.S.

About a year ago, Flo Rida kicked the door down with his hit single “Low”. The album sold 85,891 copies in the first week but quickly fizzled out. This time Flo Rida presents us with an album that has its own roots in sincerity and humility. What does that mean for this album? Read more

Bow Wow|New Jack City II

If you’ve seen my columns on the site, you know I kind of talk Bow Wow up a lot. I don’t know why, but growing up as a kid, I always saw him as a good rapper. Well, maybe not a good rapper, but at least above the average new rappers that comes into the game Read more

Capone-N-Noreaga|Channel 10

It’s been 12 years since Capone-N-Noreaga dropped their debut The War Report, an album that was applauded for it’s rhymes that gave a look into the gritty tales of the hood. Their sophomore album, The Reunion, also captured a second Read more

Gorilla Zoe|Don’t Feed Da Animals

Looking to follow up his debut album, Welcome to the Zoo, Gorilla Zoe returns with his sophomore album titled, Don’t Feed Da Animals. Gorilla Zoe is fully aware of the “sophomore jinx” that artists speak about when they are working Read more

88-Keys|The Death Of Adam

The biggest thing that distinguishes rapper/sanger/producer 88-Keys is his willingness to experiment with different genres of music. To tell the truth, at first I thought this would be a very strange review to do on nappyafro given 88-Keys’ lack of a friendly label (Hip-Hop, Rap, soul, R&B…). But 88 has produced for Mos Def, Consequence, Talib Kweli and The Pharcyde. He also has features from Kanye, Kid Cudi, Phonte, and Redman. Read more

V.I.C.|Beast

OK, I know I’m a little late on this one, and I was gone for a week or so, but to be honest, I was kind of out of it after that Yung Berg album. I hate to put the blame on someone else and not take responsibility, but sit down and listen to a 10 minute song by Berg and tell me it doesn’t fuck up your week. Read more
