Album Review | Iceberg Theory & August Fanon – Dispatches from the Kali Yuga
This album was released on December 15th in the year of our lord 2020. Iceberg Theory & August Fanon released some of my favorite music of 2020, and Iceberg Theory pretty much promoted this project as his magnum opus, so I think I’m gonna love this shit. I really wish I had a chance to…

Album Review | Algernon Cornelius – The Miraculous Weapons of Clarkus_Dark
This album was released on February 12th this year. Algernon Cornelius is an artist based out of Manchester who I first became familiar with after he had a placement on the first Ruby Yacht album back in 2019. I feel like I’m still more familiar with him as a producer than as a rapper, but…

Album Review | Teller Bank$ – The Pen for Whom the Sword Moves
This album was released on March 22nd this year. Teller Bank$ released one of my favorite albums of 2020 with The Grotesque & Beautiful, so naturally I’m expecting this latest project to be one of the better releases of 2021. The main difference that I noticed right off the bat is that instead of Ed…

My Thoughts on “Side B” of Eminem’s Music to Be Murdered By
So, towards the beginning of last year, Eminem gave us one of his most tolerable albums in years, Music to Be Murdered By. It was a bit all over the place, and there were some serious duds on it, but for the most part I thought it was okay. On December 18th last year, he…

EP Review | Rapper Big Pooh & Young RJ – What Was Lost, Vol. 1
Note: This review was written on February 16th of 2021 This extended play was released on February 12th this year. At one point, Young RJ & Big Pooh were working on a collaborative record, but I guess it just never came together, so this project is kind of like a compilation of the songs they…

Don’t sleep on this latest album from Breeze Brewin. It was released on January 22nd this year. Breeze Brewin is an MC from the legendary underground Hip Hop group, the Juggaknots.

Don’t Sleep | Mr. Dibbs & Brett Fullerton – EVERYTHING BURNS, EVERYBODY BLEEDS [coup de main]
Don’t sleep on this new mix from Mr. Dibbs & Brett Fullerton. It was released on February 21st this year. For a long time, I’ve held the belief that the Turntablism subgenre is on life support, so it was nice to actually hear a new release that falls under the category. I’m familiar with Mr.…
