Over the years, this website has received requests for reviews (there’s a certain company that sends me links to my email on an almost weekly basis) but I’m no yes-man, so I’m only going to give props to shit I genuinely like. Back in the day, I was […]
Back in 1994, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony came out of nowhere, at least from my perspective (a kid growing up in the U.K.). In terms of chronology, the previously named “B.O.N.E. Enterpri$e” did have an album titled Faces Of Death a year prior to this, but I only saw that […]
Akinyele is most famous for his legendary rap song “Put It In Your Mouth” featuring Kia Jefferies, a sexually explicit track about oral sex that somehow made it onto BBC’s Radio 1 Rap Show back in the mid-1990’s. When a rapper is known for rapping about one particular […]
I’ve been playing the song “Piece Of The Pie” for years now but I still have no clue who Chris Styles is. Very similar to Stikken Moov, I’ve heard this musician’s music but know nothing about the artist. So in the spirit of my article about those little-known […]
Ever since the first time I watched The Wraith as a kid, I enjoyed the song playing during the credits. “Where’s The Fire” is such a powerful Rock track with an uplifting chorus that stays with you long after first listening to it; in fact you can hear […]
Music stays with you, even after years or decades have passed. On occasion, you’ll completely forget about songs or entire albums until you hear an intro or a bar, and you’re instantly transported to the time you first heard it. Along with Prince’s Purple Rain and Michael Jackson‘s […]
Who’d have thought that out of all the MC’s on Big L’s “Da Graveyard” it would be Jay-Z that’d become the most famous? This song is where I first heard Party Arty, a rapper from the Bronx with a gruff voice and a menacing delivery; someone I was […]
Back in 1999, there was a big news story about Puff Daddy, his then girlfriend Jennifer Lopez, and a shooting at a Manhattan nightclub. If you recall, Bad Boy artist Shyne was charged with attempted murder, assault, and reckless endangerment. Puffy was at first arrested for weapons charges […]
After watching the video for “America On Fire” by David Sabastian (sometimes misspelled “David Sebastian”) I had high hopes for the rapper. It’s been a while since a new MC came out with personality and political opinion and this track reminded me of Crank Lucas‘ similarly underrated song […]
“Famous Last Words” is a great song by Hip-Hop duo Word A’Mouth which consists of rappers Block McCloud and Mr. Metaphor. The track which is produced by Will Tell is included in the Rawkus Records compilation album Lyricist Lounge Volume One, and when I first heard it back […]
A few months ago I stumbled across a YouTube video for a track called “After Dark” by Mr.Kitty. A fan had edited the little-known 1991 film Career Opportunities to the song resulting in a music video that was very believable, in fact the first time I saw it […]
Nobody (other than perhaps Necro) has remained true to the Horrorcore sub-genre (and indeed his original style) as Brotha Lynch Hung. Back when Horrorcore was at its heights (the post-Niggamortis/6 Feet Deep era) Brotha Lynch Hung’s album Season Of Da Sicness blended G-Funk with horror coupled with a […]
Cam’ron (real name Cameron Ezike Giles) has had a long-running and impressive career but he isn’t mentioned by the media as much as his peers. From Killa Kam’s Children Of The Corn days (with Bloodshed, McGruff, Mase, and Big L) to the Diplomats/Dipset era (with Juelz Santana, Jim […]
