(Jamal Takes Manhattan)

Taking another trip to last year, where I’ve found a lot of albums I haven’t fucked with yet, and it’s time to do them justice! So let’s talk about it! So, this is the 2024 album collaboration by rapper ‘Jamal Gasol’ and producer ‘Flu’, and featuring 7 tracks and 18 minutes in length. This projectContinue reading “(Jamal Takes Manhattan)”

(The Black Album: Revisited)

Man, talking about taking a trip down memory lane. We are going all the way back to 2018, and on this special review, we are talking about one of my favourite rap albums by my favourite rapper of all time, ‘Jay-Z’, and his ‘Black Album’. An album that is engraved in the fabric of HipContinue reading “(The Black Album: Revisited)”

(PEN LORDS 4)

When you talk about factions in the Hip Hop right now you’d be hard pressed to find any as consistent and fast paced then the infamous ‘Pen Lordz’ across their respective members they’ve dropped more albums collectively this year then possibly anyone else. Let’s talk about! This is technically a record featuring producer Arsinel andContinue reading “(PEN LORDS 4)”

(Lo Jack)

After an impressive first album release in ‘Word’ Hip Hop’s workhorse is back with another banger single! So let’s talk about it! This time around he features legend ‘ethemadassasin’ and produced by ‘Junior Markno’ and I gotta say this single has a strong 90’s Boom Bap feel. This feels like a track you’d hear catsContinue reading “(Lo Jack)”

(Unholy Scriptures)

When we talk about labels that have been on a roll these past few years, it’s hard to look past 100MAD and their various contributions to the industry, whether we are talking about the vast albums produced by Fredro Starr or the rise of this man right here and why his 2025 releases could beContinue reading “(Unholy Scriptures)”

(Thousand Yard Stare)

What an exciting day for the culture indeed! The last time I coveted this artist was his 2024 project ‘Strapped’ back then featuring Fredro Starr on the production, but now in his first album entry for the year, he’s accompanied by producer Body Bag Ben, a man who has done more than his fair shareContinue reading “(Thousand Yard Stare)”

(Music Up In Here)

I know it’s been a minute and a half since I last covered Taiaha’s music. But every time I revisit his albums, I forget just how magical his vibe is. He’s unlike any artist I’ve ever heard before or since. Whatever mana he carries with him into the studio is definitely one of a kind,Continue reading “(Music Up In Here)”

(Face/Off 2)

Let me tell you off the bat this is an idea I pitched to either Philth or Q Rap one of the boys about an album where they rap off against each other in a beat tape version of a thriller film! Turns out that was already a thing just with a different guy! So,Continue reading “(Face/Off 2)”

(The ESP Tape)

I’ll tell you now, if Hip Hop had bingo cards, then this would definitely not be on it. After his 2024 drop with Crotona P, we haven’t heard from Mike until now, and boy, what a way to start the new year! Let’s talk about it! So, this album features the rapping of Mike TitanContinue reading “(The ESP Tape)”

I know, I’m going back a year with this project, but sometimes dope projects just come to my attention, and I’m compelled to write on it! So let’s get into it! This 8-track project is a collaborative effort between rapper ‘Breeze Mantana’ and producer ‘Trox’, and on this project, they feature -100GrandRoyce -Maze Overlay -MarcusContinue reading “(Acquired Taste)”
