The Pharmacy…

Since we all secretly await any news with “Eminem” and “release date” in the tagline, I thought it’d only be right to share that Relapse: Refill drops December 22nd. No, untangle your panties, it’s not a new album. Instead, Interscope decided to re-release Relapse...

Asher Roth - “Rik Smits”

I much as I spite the shit out of this always-smiling S.O.B., I’ve got to give credit to Asher Roth. Passing prior judgment might have led you to believe otherwise, but truthfully the kid doesn’t just get and do whatever he wants because of the hype. But, if you’ve heard the thoroughly...

“For What It’s Worth” - Review Of Skyzoo’s The Salvation

Spearheading the New York revival, Skyzoo has proven time and time again that his sharp lyricism could be the fuel that helps rocket his style of Hip-Hop back to the forefront. And of course, an affiliation with Just Blaze and a certain former Little Brother producer can’t hurt either. The Salvation,...

Consecutive Classics: “Church For Thugs” & “Put You On The Game”

The most overlooked factor in crafting a good album (especially in the playlist era of music) is the sequencing. A staple of notable 4.5/5 Cig albums is having two great songs sequenced consecutively (the really notable ones often have strings of three). In this (hopefully) recurring feature, we’ll...

Saigon Feat. Just Blaze Red 5ive - “Gotta Believe It” Video

Let me say from the jump that this song is a classic. Not the kind that gets tossed around easily like Maia Campbell either. I’m talking time-tested, pure, unadultered immaculate music. Which makes it all the more dishearting that this record ended up on a bumfuck mixtape everybody’s scoffing...

Movin’ Out (Malik’s Song)

Just like Turtle from Entourage, Memph Bleek feels it’s that time to step out from the shadow of Big Brother…and get a job. But he won’t be flippin’ burgers or become the new bodyguard for the Carters or whatever witty anecdote the hounds on Twitter can come up with. As AHH,...

“I Know You Gon’ Miss Me”

“Cause we’ve been together like Nike Airs and crisp tees.” This morning, I picked up my Zune, a glass of Red Bull and a half empty pack of Newports then proceeded to sit on my front steps waiting for the sun to rise.

Just Gimmie The Beat…

Despite what BP3’s track listing may suggest, Just Blaze stays in the the studio. So when “bio interviewer” @culturevi (or aspiring comedian) hit him up on Twitter for free “Jay-Z caliber” beats. Justo was happy to oblige under one condition.

“Remember My Name” - Review Of Maino’s If Tomorrow Comes…

As far as back story’s go, Maino’s definitely is one of the most interesting from a new rapper since 50 Cent. Jailed for kidnapping at the age of 16 and locked up for 10 years, he’s got the credentials most gangsta rappers could only dream of. So upon entering the rap game, it’d almost be...

After all this talk, we’re proud to present this joint to you. Gary, Indiana’s own, Freddie Gibbs, and The Miseducation Of Freddie Gibbs mixtape. At this point, you should be convinced of how ill & lyrically-capable he is. It’s not often that an artist can simultaneously wear...

“Bullets Squeeze Bayou…”

…Like Louisiana Mayne. There was a time when Roc-A-Fella had pretty much all my playlists in figure-four leg locks. There was a time when it seemed like every member in the crew was determined to churn out an anthem or two before passing the mic to the next consigliere and ultimately back to their...
