The mild news hitting the wire this past week is that of Chrisette Michele performing at President-Elect Donald Trump’s Inauguration, on January 20, 2017. Although the “woke” thing to do right now is to mount up for a “witch hunt” and point out the “cooning and buffoning” within the black delegation; I would like everyone to back […]
Femdot “to(u)”
A very dope EP is out right now and you need to get your ears around it. It’s from an artist named Femdot and his EP is titled to(u). This is a follow up EP, from his last two projects titled fo(u)r. and thr(we). that dropped in 2016 under the brand “Pigeons and Planes”. The Chicago native lets you […]
[Review] Saba “Bucket List Project”
If you are still catching up on 2016 music, like I am, you definitely need to check out the latest project from Chicago emcee, Saba. The Bucket List Project is a great combination of skill, ambition and the definition of the new Chicago emcee. Saba has a flow all of his own, but utilizes a lot of […]

[Review] Post Malone “Stoney”
The greatest part about music of this era is that you can’t put it in a box and say “this is that and that’s all it can be.” The average artist of today will try to rap, sing, produce, play instruments and write for Kanye West. One of the best examples of at least 4 […]
[Review] The Game “1992”
Last year, The Game dropped enough songs on The Documentary 2 and 2.5 to take about 2 years off. With the release of 1992, he proves that he’s doing anything but relaxing. 1992 was one of the most pivotal years in Black America, especially if you lived in California. This is the year of Snoop Doggy […]
[Review] D.R.A.M. “Big Baby D.R.A.M.”
D.R.A.M. is an artist with great positive energy and a very unique career introduction. He cranked out 2 hits back to back, the 2nd hit was bigger than the first and yet the anticipation was a little skeptical or “underwhelming”. That’s unfortunate, because D.R.A.M. dropped a real groovy and soulful gem that, unfortunately, too many […]
[Review] Ab-Soul “Do What Thou Wilt.”
I’ll admit it, after These Days I really had no interest in another Ab-Soul album. I was more willing to hear him on a battle rap than a rap track, but boy did he come back and shut me up. The best bar-for-bar emcee from TDE dropped an album to close out 2016, and it’s pretty […]
