Jeremih: Self-Titled

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 00:00:00 -0400

Artist: JeremihAlbum: Self-TitledLabel: Def JamBefore listening to Jeremih's self-titled debut album I wasn't really sure what to expect, but after the first couple of records I was definitely paying close attention. From the albums opener "That Body" to every women's favorite song right now "Birthday Sex" to "Break Up To Make Up" which is a record I can absolutely relate too. The entire album was produced by Mick Schultz and written by Jeremih which is rare these days for a new R&B artist...

Ace Hood: Ruthless

Artist: Ace HoodAlbum: Ruthless Label: We the Best/Def Jam The Broward County monster does once again a second time in a row, this time less ‘Gutta’ and more ‘Ruthless.’ Since the last album, Ace has been known for his lyrical punchlines and furious delivery, there is no doubt or question in this young artist’s talent. Between Khaled and We the Best, they knew they had a winner. The first single off of this new album entitled ‘Overtime’ featured the s...

Webbz strikes back with his latest mixtape "The UnderDog 2" which is the sequel to his first street album "The UnderDog" which quickly became a hood favorite as well as pushing his buzz even further on the internet. So like any sequel I'm sure any artist will feel some type of pressure making sure that the second lives up to the first and from the mixtape "Intro" Webbz makes listeners feel his growth. Powered with Street records such as "Gotta Get It" ft. Trey Songz and radio friendly possi...

J. Cole: The Warm Up

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0400

As the first artist signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation label, North Carolina native J. Cole has a lot to prove. Moving to NYC in early 2004, Cole immediately set upon his mission to secure a record deal and bring his music to the masses. After a meeting with Hov he got his shot and was the first rapper Jay inked to his new label. After an impressive mixtape debut with 2008’s, The Come Up, J. Cole returns with his second taste and what he calls a more mature piece of work entitled The Warm ...

NEW 50 Cent: War Angel LP

Mon, 22 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0400

Artist: 50 CentAlbum: War Angel LPLabel: G-UnitThere’s been a rumbling going on for a while now. The streets have been talkin, and they’ve been saying it’s over for Fif! The man who makes up 1/3rd of the three headed monster along with Dr.Dre and Eminem would beg to differ. He would probably prefer you beg for mercy as his three headed monster prepares for an onslaught of destruction and a return to dominance in this fickle hip-hop arena. The return of Eminem was only a precurs...

DJ Smallz and DJ Neptune: Southern Smoke TV Vol. 1

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0400

With some of the biggest names in the Dirty South involved in the Southern Smoke TV Vol. 1 Mixtape , one might assume that this mixtape would be one of the biggest ever released. Unfortunately this Southern Smoke mixtape, presented by DJ Smallz and DJ Neptune, simply went up in flames. When I initially heard about the Southern Smoke mixtape, I was excited because I knew that it would have some of the greatest southern Hip-Hop artists to grace the album. With big names like Ludacris, Plies, Lil W...

Jay Rock: Gudda Muzik

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0400

Is the west finally back? There have been plenty of contenders for the title savior of Cali. Among those names have been Mistah F.A.B, Glasses Malone, and The Game (who undoubtedly had the best chance in succeeding in this task). However, no matter the amount of buzz generated the west as a region hasn’t been able to regain it’s early 90’s relevance. But there is hope!DJ Noodles, and DJ Kay Slay bring Gudda Muzik by Jay Rock. Jay Rock succeeds in showcasing why he is the leader...

T.I.: A Year & A Day

Mon, 01 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0400

Artist: T.I.Album: A Year And A DayLABEL: Grand HustleAtlanta has time and time again proven to be home of the hits; but while hits are good, ATL hasn’t given us many memorable hip-hop acts. With the exception of Outkast and Goodie Mob, Atlanta was mainly known for all things Krunk and Bass. This is not to say that a lyrical scene did not exist in the city, but it was not given proper exposure until Clifford “T.I.” Harris took the throne and proclaimed himself king.The King has...
