Rounding off our series looking back at the year of 2011 in hip hop is our list of ten albums that you should endeavour to get your ears around, if you have not already done so. Read on to see the dopest of the dope both under and above ground within hip hop. 1. Dela - Translation Lost “Melancholy, nostalgia, but also hope and aspiration, these are the feelings Translation Lost will inspire.” French producer Dela showed us how he can speak volumes with [...]

Sacramento isn't known for their rappers but with the amount of talent on the rise that might change in the near future. Without a doubt T.U.S member J.Good is contributing to the Sac Town hip-hop revolution. The Usual Suspect spitter sits down with me to discuss his upcoming project Searching for Alicia Silverstone, being sponsored by MMVIII, The pending Zombie Apocalypse, Zoe Kravitz, and much more. Without a doubt, J. Good is an artist i would bet my money on in 2012. Watch for him! Read the interview in it's entirety after the jump. [...]
Earlier this fall, NC's own & Little Brother alums, Phonte & 9th Wonder, along with their respective crews from Jamla Records & The Foreign Exchange , touched down at Sonar in Baltimore for what in many ways was the epitome of a hip hop show. With a small space containing not much more than a bar and barely enough room for sound and merch, and the performers being able to more or less touch the ceiling off the 2'-0" stage, one might expect B Rabbit to come out and rip Lotta new asshole [...]

The Baron Argues With Whitey's in Positions of Authority 40. Rich & Flexin' By Ludacris featuring Waka Flocka Luda's most recent project is the most ignorant thing since Herman Cain's run at nomination. Pretty fucking ignorant. 39. A Zip and A Double-Cup by Juicy J Speaking of ignorant. Lest you forget Juicy is an Academy Award Winner and on this Luger beat he condones un-protected sex and raps about his deep seeded dependency issues "You say no to drugs. Juicy [...]

German dance floor legends Jazzanova usher in 2012 with a nifty remix package. Picking up where 20032s Remixed left off, Upside Down features re-rubs from the past eight years. Even better is that it's an international affair as the remix set features fellow Berliner Henrik Schwarz, Ye:Solar and Âme to Atjazz and Mr. Scruff from the UK, Motor City Drum Ensemble from Cologne, Glasgow's Midnight Mauraders and Soldiers Of House from Pretoria (South Africa) in the mix. Here's a great remix of "Look What You're Doin' To Me" remixed by the aforementioned Motor [...]
The Roots ' 13th studio album, undun , hits stores on December 6th via Def Jam. Right now, however, you can stream the entire thing at NPR.org . The follow-up to last year's How I Got Over , the 14-track effort is the band's first-ever concept album, exploring the short life of the character of Redford Stephens “through the use of emotives and [his] internal dialogues" in order to "illustrate the intersection of free will and prescribed destiny as it plays out ‘on the corner’.” The album [...]

Here's a new cut from The Roots' upcoming album undun, which is slated to drop a week from today on December 6th. Have they ever disappointed with a commercial release? The answer's no. Hit the stream and download below. Pre-order undun here. Download: The Roots (feat. Phonte & Dice Raw) - One Time [via HT] Tweet
One week until undun hits stores. At least The Roots are always on point with having their releases come out on vinyl. Most of these hip hop acts now don't even release their LP's, or if they do, they wait months before they come out. Weak for a genre that once revolved around two turntables and a microphone. Check out another leak off undun featuring Phonte and Dice Raw called "One Time". THE ROOTS FEAT. PHONTE & DICE RAW - ONE TIME
The Roots continue to try and leak Undun with another new track, "One Time" ft. help from Phonte and Dice Raw . I'm not complaining. undun is out December 6th. MP3 // ONE TIME hat tip to WWM for the tip
The Roots have unveiled another track from their forthcoming album, Undun (out of 6th December). This ones a little more lively than what we've heard so far, especially with Phonte & Dice Raw on the track. It's also definitely their strongest in our opinion. What do you think?

With all of these tracks from the Roots' new LP, Undun , that have seen the light of day already, there is little chance of this album being anything but another top-shelf masterpiece. Add on two of the best possible collaborators in Phonte & Dice Raw, and it's a wrap. Just go cop this album on Dec. 6 and give it up for the best group doing it right now. Stream the track below.

I refuse to listen to anything undun more than once, if that much. When December 6 comes, I want to experience it as a whole instead of sampling tracks in [...]
Hip-hop fans have been waiting. Ever since the split of North Carolina hip-hop group Little Brother, many have eagerly anticipated the moment when Phonte would step back in the limelight, grab the mic and start to rhyme again. But the past few years have witnessed Phonte forging his path as a successful R&B crooner with Grammy-nominated act The Foreign Exchange, with all thoughts of rapping in the back of his mind, appearing once in a blue moon. So when it was mentioned that Phonte was set to finally release his debut solo album, anticipation hit the roof. And when it [...]
