DJ Kayslay|More Than Just A DJ
The DJ steered compilation album is nothing new in Hip-Hop. In recent years people like DJ Khaled and DJ Drama have held down this lane. Why can’t Kayslay get some love too? Well, it looks like after checking his Rolodex and calling in some favors (And getting some Straight Stuntin’ models for the album cover) [...]
Lil’ Wayne|Rebirth
I didn’t think we’d end up reviewing this one since it’s not technically Hip-Hop; Plus most of you have had this album for the past couple of months anyway (Shout out to Amazon!). But we all love Weezy over here, so we figured why not. Lil’ Wayne has been pulling out the guitar like crazy [...]
FFWD’s: B.G.|Too Hood 2 Be Hollywood
After over a year of delays, B.G. finally returns with his 11th album Too Hood 2 Be Hollywood. While I’m happy to see B.G. back on the game, it’s a bittersweet return
FFWD’s: The Black Keys|Blakroc
OK, so you know The Black Keys right…exactly. That’s why this is a FFWD and not a track by track. I’m vaguely familiar with them, but Blues Rock doesn’t appear to be high on the radar for you
Birdman|Pricele$$
The respect for Bryan “Birdman” Williams has always been mixed. While he will always be applauded for building his New Orleans based Cash Money Records from nothing
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
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: Tommy Stars, St Raw, Trav, Snyp Life, Bully, Bucky, A.P., Large Amount, T. Waters, [...]
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
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 [...]
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. [...]
