Satisfied Soul by Brother Ali | My Thoughts
Brother Ali released his latest album on Mello Music Group on February 14th this year. It’s fully produced by Ant with some additional instrumentation from G Koop. It’s 17 tracks long with no features, clocking in at 57 minutes. I’ve never really written about Brother Ali before, but I would consider myself a fan. My…

The Best Songs of February 2025
Shout out to Black Milk & Fat Ray for releasing my favorite album of this past February with Food from the Gods. I know this list is late as hell, but I had a rough start to 2025, so that’s why it took so long to put together. I did a January list, but only…

tau – Matters of Substance | Album Review
This album was released on June 6th this year. I actually don’t know much about who tau is. Prior to listening to this latest project, I’d only heard an EP with klwn cat called CYCLEBREAKER, as well as a feature on Nonazz’s collaborative album with LUNAR. I thought the EP was solid, but this latest…

Isa Ibn Wali – Free the World | EP Review
This extended play was released on May 28th this year. Isa Ibn Wali is an MC based out of Asheville, North Carolina, although he is originally from Oakland, California. He also apparently teaches a course called Hip Hop 101, which is really cool. I had zero expectations going into this latest EP because I had…

VEGA! – We Outside! | Song Review
This latest single from VEGA! was released on June 20th this year, and it’s been in heavy rotation for me ever since. I believe this is the second official single from VEGA GENESIS III, which is pretty much my most anticipated album of 2025 right now. Shoutout to Clipse too though. I feel like there’s…

FHH Update 6-18-2025
What’s up y’all. It’s been a little over a month since I’ve updated this blog, and things have already been really slow here in general this year because of the health issues I’ve faced. I have been using my time away to focus on my recovery and work out plans for the future in terms…

Goyard Ibn Said by Ghais Guevara | My Thoughts
This latest album from Ghais Guevara was released on January 24th this year by Fat Possum Records. Ghais Guevara is someone who has been on my radar since 2022 when he dropped his popular album, There Will Be No Super-Slave. I listened to it and thought it was very solid, although I didn’t love it…

Chow – Seeker of Knowledge | Album Review
This album was released on May 1st this year. Ever since I first heard Chow’s production on Jay Cinema’s Alchemy album from last year, he’s been one of the most exciting newer artists to me. He’s quickly becoming one of my favorite current producers. I loved his Pisces album from last year, and I think…

FAITH AND A HAMMER by SOO DO KOO | My Thoughts
SOO DO KOO is an artist from New York whose name I’d seen floating around social media for a few months prior to this album’s release on January 3rd this year. I was already intrigued, and then I saw that there would be a collaborative release with Sleep Sinatra, of whom y’all already know I’m…

Lt. Headtrip & NorthernDraw – Novel Path | EP Review
This EP was released on March 28th this year. Ever since I first started listening to Lt. Headtrip in late 2020, I’ve been enamored by his wordy rap style. I got to meet him in person for the first time late last year in Greensboro, where he performed some songs from this project alongside NorthernDraw…

Lower by Benjamin Booker | My Thoughts
This latest album from Benjamin Booker was released on January 24th this year, but I just got around to hearing it maybe a week ago. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to write about this one since it’s not technically a Hip Hop album, but since it’s perhaps my favorite album that I’ve heard so…

PreauXX – Lost AirPods | Song Review
This song was just released this year on April 1st. I’m still pretty new to PreauXX as an artist; I’d only heard one song by the Memphis-based rapper prior to listening to this track, but I was pleased with what I got here. I really dig the kind of pillowy, soft, sample-based production from LEE…
