Triple C’s|Custom Cars & Cycles

Rick Ross is the latest rapper to try his hand at being an executive with the release of his group Triple C’s debut album Custom Cars & Cycles. The group consists of Ross, Gunplay, Torch, and Young Breed. Don’t think that Read more

D-Block|No Security

Jadakiss, Styles P, and Sheek are all established artists in the game, so now it’s time for them to take their shot at being moguls. That is what you have with No Security, D-Block’s debut album where they introduce you to Read more

Mims|Guilt

Mims. A pioneer of the “ringtone” rapper hustle. The war still rages on now; either you’re trying to move an album or you’re banking on Platinum ringtone/digital single sales; with the latter looked at as adding further to Read more

Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em|iSouljaBoyTellem

Soulja Boy Tell Em’ seems to get a lot of hate in the game: when he first showed up on the scene with a record-breaking single that was catchy enough to get him a Grammy nomination AND sold 3x Platinum; people immediately had their opinions of him. All the teenagers were doing the dance and bopping their heads to the beat, while all the older folks were complaining. Who did this kid think he was? Read more

Common|Universal Mind Control

Lucky number 8. Okay, maybe it’s lucky number 7, but how else do you approach an album as anticipated as this one from Common? After the commercial successes of Be and Finding Forever (2 gold albums back to back), 3 movies, and a sag card to his name, the streets was watchin’ for this album. There has been a buzz about this album being different and more club friendly as are most of the releases this year, but what does Read more

Ace Hood|Gutta

Even though DJ Khaled has help to progress the careers of some of today’s more popular music artists such as T-Pain, Akon, Rick Ross, & Plies, he never actually handpicked and groomed a rapper of his own. Enter: Ace Hood; the first rapper of Khaled’s Def Jam distributed label, We The Best. My thoughts about Ace Hood have been always confusing. I kinda thought he wasn’t worthy of being in Read more

DJ Khaled|We Global

For a few years now, it seems like DJ Khaled is every hot rappers’ new best friend. Armed with the fortune of reppin’ from the hotbed of Hip-Hop right now (Florida), Khaled is most known for getting the most premier rappers together on songs (As well as yelling at the top of his lungs “We the best!” constantly). Now he’s on the verge of releasing his third album Read more

LL Cool J|Exit 13

12 albums, all gold or platinum. His last album went gold with but quickly fell off the charts and was viewed by most as a failure. This being his last album with Def Jam (some 20 years after he first signed), how does LL wrap up his tenure? By teaming up with 50 Cent, that’s how. Thic takes him to the mat… Read more

MJG|This Might Be the Day

MJG is already a legend in Hip-Hop, so not too much introduction is needed in that regard. However, his solo career has been much different from his group albums. You can think of 8Ball & MJG like Outkast, they are great together, but they do not seem right separated. MJG received some critical acclaim for his debut No More Glory back in 1997, but that was ‘97. Read more

Hell Rell|Black Mask Black Gloves

It’s funny. I never particularly liked Dipset but for some reason it seems like I’m always the one who gets stuck reviewing their albums (And believe me, those dudes stay putting out albums). But hey, you do what you must right? Hey, at least it an album from my favorite Dipset member, Hell Rell. I actually reviewed his debut album, For The Hell Of It, last year Read more
