Don’t Sleep | Pro Zay & Timepiece – ALLEY MUZIK
Don’t sleep on this album from Pro Zay and Timepiece. It was released on September 4th in the year of our lord 2020, and it’s hard as fuck. One thing I’ve been appreciating more lately is when artists are able to make music that actually sounds like their album covers, and that’s exactly what these…

Album Review | Tokyo Cigar & Odd Nosdam – EXTERNAL MAGNETIC
This album was released on September 7th in the year of our lord 2020. Tokyo Cigar is one of the more interesting artists I discovered last year through his work with Iceberg Theory. His tape with August Fanon as Haircut Ambiance, Bodies on Fleet Street, was really good, so check that out if you haven’t…

Album Review | Ol’ Dirty Bastard – Nigga Please
This album was released on September 14th in the year of our lord 1999. Honestly, I don’t think I’m gonna like this album. Even though I liked Return to the 36 Chambers to some extent, a lot of it was kind of difficult to stomach for me. That album is remembered as a classic, but…

This album was released on March 19th this year. Scuare is an EXOCIETY artist who I first became familiar with through his work with no1mportant as …&more…; I eventually went on to check out his only solo album at the time, which came out in 2013, and was entitled Alphabet Soup. I’d liked everything I…

Top 25 Albums of 2020
Yes, I know this is late as hell. Y’all know how I am. Putting together these lists is hard for me, mainly because I can never hear everything I want to in one year. This won’t be comprehensive because I’ll surely end up hearing something down the line that would have made it onto this…

Album Review | Stik Figa & Conductor Williams – Tomorrow Is Forgotten
This album was released on August 21st in 2020. Stik Figa & Conductor Williams released one of my favorite extended plays of 2020, so I had pretty high expectations for this album that preceded it. I felt bad for not reviewing Heavens to Mergatroyd, so I’m gonna rectify that by covering this one. I don’t…

Album Review | GZA – Beneath the Surface
This album was released on June 29th in the year of our lord 1999. GZA is perhaps my favorite member of the Wu-Tang Clan, so I’m looking forward to checking this album out. I’ve never heard it, and I don’t think I’ve even heard any of the singles, so I’m pretty much going into this…
