Little Brother – “Curtain Call”
We all knew the end was coming soon for Little Brother when Phonte announced that Leftback would be their final album. But here’s proof for those that didn’t believe it. The track sounds as if it would actually end the album as Little Brother (With producer Khrysis) get ready to put a bow on a [...]

Masters Of Skit-Hop
You have to dig in the crates quite a ways back to find out when skits became big on Hip-Hop albums. If I remember it right, I THINK it was De La Soul that pretty much escorted this practice into regular status in Hip-Hop. On some albums, it’s a major player and adds to the [...]
Song of the Week: Joe Budden, Akon, Little Brother, Lil’ Wayne, & Young Jeezy
Yeah, it’s me again. I think it’s time for me to take a long retirement from Song of the Week; it’s really not what I initially thought it was (It seems I’m picking a lot of new stuff lately). Don’t worry, it’s a great chance that the pick next week will be something dusty and [...]
Zo! & Tigallo Love The 80’s! (Cover)
Okay, where are the real nappyafro everyday visitors? I see a few hands…Well if you have been coming to this site for a while, you remeber one of our first interviews was with Phonte. In that interview he said something about releasing an EP of 80’s covers soon with Zo, entitled Zo! & Tigallo Love [...]

Rewind Review: Skyzoo & 9th Wonder|Cloud 9: The 3 Day High [2006]
I’ve been gone for a minute but I’m back, and it’s time to pick up where I left off. People have been asking about Rewind Reviews and when another one was going to be done. Well the wait is over and it’s just in time for a fresh batch. “Just let this motherfucker come on, [...]
Drake|Comeback Season [Mixtape)
The success of Will Smith and LL Cool J along with others led to the obliteration of the lines between entertainment and sports industries. Outside of breaking into sports, the others have become highways to the other making the jump from actor to rapper, or vice versa, quite commonplace. Even more so, it makes it [...]
Song of the Week: Little Brother – “Next Day”
Okay, of course we had go with Little Brother for Song of the Week right? Well, since King Jerm brought up GetBack in the Phonte Interview, I guess I will go with my favorite song from the album. It’s a bonus track, and when we reviewed GetBack, I don’t think we covered it. It’s “Next [...]
Pete Rock|NY’s Finest
Since 1987, Pete Rock has steadily carved his place in Hip-Hop and collected legions fans along the way. First as one half of a duo with CL Smooth (“T.R.O.Y.”), then as a producer of other artists as well (Nas’ “The World Is Yours”).
