MJG|This Might Be the Day (by King Jerm)

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 (by B-Easy)

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

Green City|Brand New Money (by H20)

Alright, if you haven’t read my staff page, I’m young; my friends blast Soulja Boy and actually think he’s good. Because of that, I had never heard any Scarface songs until I heard him on Free At Last with Freeway. He was pretty good on that, and I was interested, so when King Jerm asked me review this Scarface related album, I was open-minded. Read more

Three 6 Mafia|Last 2 Walk (by King Jerm)

Since Hustle & Flow earned Three Six Mafia an Oscar, things have been on the up and up. Now the only two remaining members, Juicy J and DJ Paul look to continue the string of hits. Things are a little different now, not only are these guys Oscar winners, but they are also reality TV stars, so they are reaching a different audience now. Hopefully going Hollywood or should I say HollyHood, doesn’t water down the Three Six sound. Read more

2 Pistols|Death Before Dishonor (by B-Easy)

After years on the independent grind and after scoring a hit with the T-Pain assisted “She Got It”, 2 Pistols is ready to release his debut album Death Before Dishonor. Now I’d be lying if I said I was looking for this album (As a matter of fact, I had to explain to King Jerm who 2 Pistols was). Read more

JR Writer|Politics And Bullshit (by Thic Flair)

Dipset has a fiercely loyal fan base. I can’t lie though, outside of Juelz, I don’t really dig most of them. They are pretty damn entertaining though. They rep hard for each other and that’s wassup. So, we have another offering from JR Writer who seems to never leave the studio. Is he making the most of his time, or wasting tracks? Read more

Plies|Definition Of Real (by King Jerm)

By dropping his second album in ten months, Plies looks to capitalize on the recent success of his “Gunshine State” partners. Last year Plies struck gold with his debut The Real Testament, but he’s back with Definition of Real looking to pick up where he left off. His big single last year was “Shawty” this time around he’s keeping the ladies loving him with “Bust It Baby Part 2”. Will this be enough to get another plaque? Let’s see. Read more

Foxy Brown|Brooklyn’s Don Diva (by Thic Flair)

She was the FIRST female emcee to debut at number 1 on Billboard. Each of her released albums have reached gold or platinum status. She has been in the game (depending on what you consider IN) for 12 years (give or take a year). All those things considered; she is just around 30. Is she still as relevant as she was when she started? Read more

Trina|Still Da Baddest (by King Jerm)

Remember when Trina stole the show on Trick Daddy’s “Nann Nigga”? The potty mouthed chick with the phatty had taken the country by storm. That was just a taste of what was to come. After pushing near platinum numbers on her debut, Da Baddest Bitch, she opened the door for the Southern female rappers out there. But after a disappointing second (Diamond Princess) and third albums (Glamorest Life) moving 490K and 390K units, respectively, Trina found herself at a career crossroads. Read more

Beanie Sigel|The Solution (by B-Easy)

Beanie Sigel has always had this thing. No, I really don’t mean star power or anything like that, just this whole tough guy thing. Now while most rappers will boast all day about how tough they are, some rappers actually give off that air. Read more
