“I ain’t gon’ be on the Internet all day lookin’ for who’s fresh, so I can help them…” Over the last couple of months, Ice Cube has come under fire for his criticism on hip-hop’s new crop. Neophytes like Jay Rock have accused him for not pinpointing his targets. But Cube isn’t too concerned with what people say. He tells Rap Radar that he champions acts like Nipsey Hussle and says others shouldn’t depend on his assistance.

Great breakdown of Statik Selektah’s *Round Trip*! Honestly, this 2023 Mass Appeal release is pure boom-bap bliss from start to finish. Statik really outdid himself with those smooth, jazzy sample flips and turntable scratches, creating the exact kind of laid-back, golden-era hip-hop vibe you want playing in the background while relaxing at Denmark holiday cottages over a quiet weekend. The guest list alone is stacked—having legends like Posdnous kicking things off on the opener "Round Trip (For Dave)" alongside heavy hitters like Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, and Inspectah Deck on "Unpredictable" makes every track feel like a proper event. Even the newer-school features like Benny the Butcher, Conway the Machine, and Joey Bada$$ fit effortlessly over the dusty, soulful production without a single wasted verse. Definitely one of his most cohesive projects in years and an easy front-to-back spin for anyone who appreciates real hip-hop craftsmanship.
