I think I have a pretty good grasp on new hip-hop. I champion a lot of new guys (including but not limited to Big KRIT, G-Side, Freddie Gibbs and OFWGKTA) I have never ever been into Big Sean though. Does that make me a hater? I dunn0 – my issue with Big Sean is I [...]
Elzhi is a Detroit rapper I have definitely talked about before. He is simply one of the best doing it right now. I know he doesn’t have an out of this world discography but skill wise El can fuck with anyone. You might best know him as one of the later members of Slum Village [...]
Big KRIT baby. This is my dude. KRIT and G-Side are my dudes. Always feeling their music. G-Side dropped what I thought was album of the year on January 1st. Now Big KRIT responds…can he live up to expectations. I thought Lupe and Wiz would give G-Side some competition and they both went the soft [...]
Alright, I think it is time to put up my favorite songs of the year so much. Being almost 3 full months in is a good time to take a look at the songs I have really been feeling so far. And a note to the dickheads out there – I said SO FAR. This [...]
If you are my age then you know that Nate Dogg held the hooks down! This dude was the guy to get on a hook in my day, especially that laid back g-funk sound. Once I heard him on Regulate, it was a wrap – an instantly recognizable voice. Always came through with the heat [...]
Big KRIT’s Return of 4Eva is a big time anticipated album for me. His debut album was one of my favorite albums in years. I could play it start to finish and it was just pure heat. I expect nothing less from his follow up album. The cover is a great start – looks really [...]
Alright, I am sitting here after cleaning my house, with tall boy of Red Stripe in hand, waiting for my people to get here. As I cleaned I downloaded a new album…and was pleasantly surprised. Y’all know lately that I have been touting the ODD FUTURE WOLF GANG KILL THEM ALL collective. I have featured [...]
I have been talking about these dudes a lot lately, but it isn’t my fault they are just blowing up. Recently they had an amazing performance on Jimmy Fallon’s show, which included a cameo form Mos Def himself. They had sold out shows in NY full of rap stars and execs. They were all invited [...]
Last night, much to my surprise, Tyler the Creator and Hodgey Beats, two members from OFWGKTA (Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill The All) performed on Jimmy Fallon. they were also backed by the legendary Roots crew! This is big news for these dudes. I have talked about them before and it seems like they are [...]
Roach Gigz is a dude I slept on for a long time. In fact I slept on the whole Bay area scene. I wasn’t feeling the Hyphy movement, so didn’t realize the great sound that is now coming from there. Young Gully got me hooked with his Oscar Grant tribute mixtape and his fiyah track: [...]
