Jon Connor – “Best In The World”

02.06.12 Written by Raj

Jon Connor’s Season 2 mixtape was definitely one of the best, most snoozed on tapes from last year, but instead of dwelling in the past, the Flint rapper is keeping it moving with his next endeavor, The Blue Album.

Immortal Technique – “Toast To The Dead”

10.21.11 Written by Raj

A mellow dedication is the last song anybody would expect from the usually aggressive Immortal Technique. His message remains strong as ever but his methods are quite unorthodox on “Toast to the Dead.” Read the rest of this entry »

Shawn Chrystopher – I.W.G. 3 Mixtape

04.05.11 Written by Beware

Only knowing a handful of Shawn Chrystopher songs going into SXSW, I judged his performance just like many of the acts I was completely unfamiliar of – without much bias. Luckily for me, Shawn Chrys was aware many people were as unfamiliar as me, so when it came time for the Inglewood native to rock Cashmere’s VIBE showcase, the man and his team put on like they were performing for 100,000 at The Forum.

Take a SXSW here and a couple trips to New York there, the missed calls begin to pile up. So as we enter the quarter of our Hip-Hop fiscal year, here’s our chance to blow secondhand smoke on some of 2010′s offerings. Read the rest of this entry »
