Song Review | MIKE – Red Jacket 6
This single was released on June 14th this year. I unfortunately didn’t really care for MIKE‘s latest project, Beware of the Monkey, which dropped this past December, so I’m hoping that this new song here is better. I think I might just be getting tired of his style since he pretty much does the same…

Song Review | Black Thought & Black Rob – BLACK (No Matter What)
This single was released on June 8th this year. Black Thought is one of my favorite MCs of all time, and he currently has my album of the year alongside El Michels Affair, so I was pretty psyched when I saw him announce this track on Instagram. Apparently him and Black Rob used to talk…

Album Review | Ghostface Killah – Bulletproof Wallets
This album was released on November 13th in the year of our lord 2001. I don’t really know much about this album because it’s one of the many Ghostface Killah projects that nobody ever seems to talk about. I think it’s supposed to be pretty good though, so I’m looking forward to it. I mean,…

EP Review | Rich Jones & goldenbeets – It is decidedly so
This EP was originally released on February 17th this year. Last year Rich Jones put out an album with Iceberg Theory entitled Smoke Detector that I really enjoyed, so when I saw that he had a new project out, I knew that I had to give it a listen. I wasn’t familiar with goldenbeets before…

Album Review | Ty Farris – No Cosign Just Cocaine 5: The Final Sniff
This album was released on February 17th this year. I first started listening to Ty Farris when he dropped No Cosign Just Cocaine 3, which I thought was amazing. He’s gone on to release a plethora of projects since then, and all of them have been dope. No Cosign Just Cocaine 3 is still my…

This project was released on February 10th this year. brainorchestra. is an artist I’ve covered a couple times on this blog before. I first discovered him through his feature on Elaquent’s Forever Is a Pretty Long Time album, and ever since then I’ve listened to everything he’s been putting out. This is actually the first…

Song Review | Conway the Machine, Goosebytheway & SK da King – Elephant Man (feat. Heem B$F & Rome Streetz)
This song was released on June 9th this year. This is the first single from an upcoming Drumwork Music Group album. For those of you who may be unfamiliar, Drumwork Music Group is Conway the Machine’s record label. I didn’t really like his latest album, WON’T HE DO IT, although there were some tracks on…

Song Review | Napoleon da Legend & J-Scienide – Luxurious Apartheid
This song was released on June 9th this year. I think I was first exposed to Napoleon da Legend when he went on Shade 45 for a Friday Fire Cypher about 6 years ago. Then I heard him on K-Beta’s magnum opus, Bad Rap. However, I didn’t really start listening to his music until last…

Don’t Sleep | Cap’t Footbags – Music for Dark Basements
Don’t sleep on this latest album from Cap’t Footbags. I first was exposed to him through his livestreams on the official Cold Rhymes Records Twitch page. I’ve only been to like one or two of the livestreams, but he immediately struck me as a pretty cool producer and DJ. I particularly like the “FOOTBAGS!” tag…

EP Review | Mic Logik & Joey Childz – Too Much to Text, Vol. 1
This extended play was released on February 10th this year. Mic Logik is an artist I’ve covered a few times on this blog before, whether it be his solo work or a feature. He’s a really talented lyricist, and he’s also a pretty good singer. On the other hand, I’m totally unfamiliar with Joey Childz,…

Album Review | Blank Thought – my life flashed before me
This album was released on February 26th this year. Blank Thought is a producer from Rhode Island whose name I’d seen floating around Twitter for a while before we actually followed each other. I’d never actually heard any of their production before checking out this album, so I wasn’t sure how I would feel about…
