This week we have eight Hip-Hop/R&B debuts on the charts this week…and six placed below #65. I’m still playing catch up from my little break from the internet I took a few days ago so I’m not gonna get too deep this week (How many weeks have I been saying 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.

For some reason Donny Goines has never been featured on nappyafro. We’ve talk to the brother, had interviews set up and something always fell through. Well that’s changing now with this; his official second album The Breakfast Club Read more

Ok, I’ll confess. I didn’t really listen to Reks. I’ve actually gotten into him more lately, due to just being him, getting that Statik Selektah album, and listening to the Grey Hairs album got me into his vibe. From what I see as Reks, he’s just a true underground artist Read more

I can still remember my ex-girlfriend calling me early in the morning and telling me about Biggie’s death. March 9th 1997. 12 years later, Iam glad to say that Christopher George Latore Wallace’s name is still alive and well. After seeing Read more
EPMD|We Mean Business
December 26, 2008 by Guy Fawkes · 6 Comments
No group has ever meant business like EPMD. Parrish Smith and Erick Sermon are the epitome of business. Erick and Parrish have been makin’ dollars for over 20 years now. They released their first album in ‘88 (Strictly Business) and have been East Coast legends since. As a group they have faced a fair share of turmoil. They separated in ‘93 and re-united four years later. Read more

It’s been over a month since I last dropped a review (Deified by Keak Da Sneak), but SBK is back in the building back at the ‘fro. Since my time away in dealing with summer hell aka Summer School, I’ve been keeping an eye up on nappyafro and an ear out on the music. Being the Hip-Hop head that I am, I’m an active listener of the underground scene far more than the commercial bullshit that’s released. Read more

Rewind Review: Skyzoo & 9th Wonder|Cloud 9: The 3 Day High [2006]
June 4, 2008 by SBK · 9 Comments
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, and be fresh.” These are the initial words heard on this album at its start. These words not only describe Cloud 9: The 3 Day High, but the state of Hip-Hop music as it currently stands. Read more
