The cobblestone that paved the way for the Hip-Hop of today gets walked on without so much as a regard by the youth. J Rawls recognizes this minor “affect” in the music continuum and decides to use his platform as a way to educate those who choose to absorb the lesson. Building on the block (again) with the enamored producer is none other than Dottie X along with Wise Intelligent bringing up the anchor. Read the rest of this entry »
The first time I heard Sadat X was on the original version of Biggie’s “Come On.” I was rummaging through one of my uncle’s cassette mixtapes and even through all its pop and hiss glory, I knew his voice was distinctive to stand out on any track. Of course he was already a pillar in Brand Nubian and went on to have a substantial career in this thing called Hip-Hop. Read the rest of this entry »

Yeah it’s that time again.
Too often do we sift through the predictable media cycle of artists yelling how “crazy” their album is or even fixing their lying ass mouths to utter the other “C” word — classic. How about these C’s: cut the crap. Each year, the allure of the album continues to decrease thanks in part to overhyped, superfluous projects that only possess a handful of good songs. Not to mention the legion of stans that will stick by anything short of a satanic message their favorite artist puts out. Not I. Air ‘em out like spring laundry. Read the rest of this entry »

I can’t do this full justice so I’m gonna swipe the full words from Classic Rhymes, who put together this video in the first place. Read if you want to…or not. Makes me none.
For me, this album was probably my coming of age, part of that self-awareness that you gain in the awkward middle-teen years. In fact, I think I’ve said that One For All was one of those albums Read the rest of this entry »
Words By Prop Jay
When Brand Nubian were going through their rough patch, Sadat X’s Wild Cowboys allowed the man to prove he was valuable to the game without fellow group members Grand Puba and Lord Jamar. Brand Nubian soon returned with Foundation which was mostly viewed as a disappointment and things have not been good ever since, especially during that time he had to spend at Riker’s Island for gun charges. Out of jail for just under 2 years, Sadat X hits us with his not-so-much anticipated album Brand New Bein’, a similar sound to previous work, which coincides with being the album’s ultimate downfall.
