FFWD’s: Strong Arm Steady|In Search of Stoney Jackson
Coming out of California’s underground scene, Strong Arm Steady (SAS) returns with their official second album In Search of Stoney Jackson. This time SAS has producer Madlib behind the boards on all the tracks for Stoney Jackson. What this does is make a cohesive sounding album where all the songs fit with each other. With [...]
FFWD’s: RJD2|The Colossus
To be honest, I’m not really into instrumental CD’s. Of course there are some exception like Dilla’s Donuts, but for the most part I much rather have lyrics over beats. So you can see how the task of reviewing RJD2’s new album The Colossus would seem a little daunting to me. Add on the fact [...]
Joe Budden|Escape Route
With the Fro’s crew busy with new projects constantly coming up, I thought it might be fit for a member to step in and provide some support and relieve some of the workload
FFWD’s: Wiz Khalifa|Deal Or No Deal
As 2009 wraps up, we here at nappyafro are tying up loose ends as far trying to get the music reviewed that we missed this year. Wiz Khalifa’s Deal Or No Deal is one of those loose ends
Gucci Mane|The State Vs. Radric Davis

Clipse|Til The Casket Drops

Felt|Felt 3: A Tribute To Rosie Perez
Murs (from Living Legends) and Slug (from Atmosphere) return with their third Felt project entitled Felt3: A Tribute To Rosie Perez. For those of you who don’t know, Felt reaches out to a new producer for each album
50 Cent|Before I Self Destruct
I hope it doesn’t count as hating if I say that ever since 2003’s Get Rich Or Die Tryin’, 50 has gotten worse with time. I hope it doesn’t, because the truth in that statement is fact; Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ has sold
Wale|Attention Deficit
When the Hip-Hop world thinks of Olubowale Victor Folarin, aka Wale, the first thing that may come to mind is DC. And then maybe Maryland and Virginia. And then Go-Go music. Yep, Wale has been waving the DMV flag hard ever since
Cormega|Born And Raised
It’s been awhile since Cormega has dropped a solo record. You can say this is his third official studio record. Who Am I? is a soundtrack album; The Testament was a shelved by Def Jam which was suppose to release around 1996; And Legal Hustle was a compilation album for his record company. Now [...]
