Rakim|The Seventh Seal

Any Hip-Hop enthusiast, “Hip-Hop head”, or casual listeners should almost immediately recognize the name Rakim in connection with the genre of Hip-Hop music and its history. Rakim’s trail in Hip-Hop music is one that Read more

Given the current state of Hip-Hop music in 2009, a resurgence of “real” Hip-Hop music and return to the lyricism as heard on classic albums of the 90’s has been seen with recent releases like Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… PT II, KRS-One & Buckshot’s Survival Skills, and Marco Polo & Torae’s Double Barrel.

Kid Cudi|Man On The Moon: The End Of Day

Slaughterhouse|Slaughterhouse

Mos Def|The Ecstatic

I know that the review of Mos Def’s The Ecstatic album has been one that people have been looking for since Tuesday when it was released and I am happy to deliver it in its entirety. I apologize for three day delay in delivering this review but that’s what happens Read more
