They say patience is a virtue and I don’t know anyone who has more than Saigon who waited four years to release his debut album the way he intended. Sorry Atlantic, this is uncompromising boom bap rap with a message. Anchored by the amazing production of Just Blaze, GSNT is a conceptual album that is better served in one complete listen. Still there are plenty of standouts like the one-two punch of “Enemies” and “Friends”, the Marsha Ambrosius-aided “It’s Alright” […]

“You was made in Paris and mama woke up the next day and shot her album package/ Last time the miscarriage was so tragic/ We was afraid you disappeared but nah baby, you magic.” The Empire State Building lit the sky blue over the weekend in honor of the Giants win and coincidentally, Jay-Z and Beyonce’s daughter. For the last nine months, Hov’s been tight-lipped about the pregnancy, but bears it all over Pharrell’s production. At the 3:20 mark, Hov […]

This arrived on the day Watch The Throne dropped and needless to say it made way less impact than Jay and ‘Ye. On paper, this should’ve worked. Gucci, fresh off his latest stint in the pokey, pairing up with his protege. But nah shortie this lacked pomp and and deserved to flop. Fresh off Flockaveli and murderous mixtape material, I expected more from Waka, who surprisingly coasts here as La Flare’s Robin. Ah well, his upcoming Triple F will probably […]

And new video. Although The Epidemic has yet to arrive, Pill keeps the The Diagnosis promo going by poppin’ his collar and tags for the mixtape’s latest flick.

Somebody musta told Killer Mike he fell off and he needed that ’cause he came back like a man possessed on his potent Pl3dge. The soul sample stirring opener “So Glorious” sets the tone as he blazes through the tantalizing “That’s Life II” and the riveting “Ric Flair”. Woo! This ATLien can still snap. Whether dolo or with his hometown brethren, Grand Hustle boss, T.I. (“Ready Set Go”), Young Jeezy (“Go Out On The Town”) and Gucci Mane (“Animal”)—the satisfying […]

Now that Gucci got the numerous freestyles out the way, he bounces from nightspot to nightspot in his new track. Produced by KE On The Track. Trap Back coming February 5.

The Clan weren’t nuthin’ to fuck with back in the 90s but every time they join forces to release a subpar compilation like this it stains their legacy. Can a Shaolin collective stan get a proper follow-up to 2007’s 8 Diagrams?

This rocky E1 release is laced with the familiar kung fu […]
