This album was released on October 28th this year. Rufus Sims, formerly known as Weasel Sims, is an MC from Chicago whom I discovered last year when he was featured on IAMGAWD’s Murder Castle album.

Don’t Sleep | Paradime – PERIOD.
Don’t sleep on this latest album from Paradime. It was released on September 22nd this year by Mello Music Group. I first became familiar with Paradime when he was featured on Apollo Brown’s Sincerely, Detroit album in 2019. I had never heard any of his solo material until MMG started promoting this latest album from…

Album Review | Nas – Magic 3
This album was released on September 14th this year. I listened to this album once on the night it came out, but as of December 12th I haven’t gone back to it at all. It’s not that it was a bad album at all. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit on my first listen.…

Don’t Sleep | Lukah – Permanently Blackface (The 1st Expression)
Don’t sleep on this latest album from Lukah. It was released on September 1st this year. Some of you may remember that I reviewed Lukah’s 2021 album, Why Look Up, God’s in the Mirror.

Don’t Sleep | Pastense – Paper Cuts & Aged Spirits
Don’t sleep on this latest release from Pastense. It originally came out in April of 2020, but was rereleased by Uncommon Records on December 1st this year. I’m not really sure if this project is considered an EP or an album. If I had to guess I’d say it’s an album; it’s just under thirty…

EP Review | Sunmundi – Nature of My Nature
This extended play was released on December 1st this year. Sunmundi is an artist whom I first discovered when Damn That Noise began promoting their debut album, Midnight Oil. I ended up thinking that album was really good, so I decided that I’d keep an eye on whatever Sunmundi decided to do next. I wasn’t…

Album Review | Unsung – Hand Painted Model Trains
This album was released on August 4th this year. In 2020, I reviewed an album by Unsung called Sup Bub, and to this day it’s one of the most unique and memorable records I’ve ever heard. That was a very fun and lighthearted record, which, from what I understand, is actually a departure from the…

Song Review | Cloud Envy – Star Trek
Cloud Envy released one of my favorite albums of 2021, so I was eagerly awaiting his return, and very curious to see how he would follow it up. Back to the Flows was honestly such a great album that I wasn’t sure if he’d be able to match its quality again, but the features and…
