Tajai from Souls of Mischief released his long awaited solo debut (?) in 2004... Though falling short of the quality found in fellow group member Opio's release 'Triangulation Station' this album is fairly underrated in my mind as Tajai has an original flow with some great lyrics that have been disregarded by the hip-hop community possibly due to his distinct change from the much loved Souls of Mischief sound... Besides for Tajai's remarkable energy, the production does well in keeping this album together and when Tajai's lyrics fail to amuse, the beats really shine, particularly in tracks like 'Dedication' and [...]

One of this sites leading contributers, Mario, has made another drop of classics and rarities! My first surprise came from the Japanese Hip-Hop group Teriyaki Boyz which i found was produced by Def Jam with an incredible line-up of legendary beatmasters including the Neptunes, DJ Premier, Cut Chemist, Automator, DJ Shadow + More... The rap does take some getting used to and i think the production would have gone to better use on some english speaking rappers, but its a brilliant album nevertheless. My next surprise came from [...]

After 'Tical 0: The Tragedy' i had lost almost all faith in Method Man, the legend who helped bring the world the Wu-Tang Clan and who dropped classics like 'Bring Da Pain' and 'Release Yo Delf' has been going downhill since his '98 release 'Tical 2000: Judgement Day' and even more so after the shocking 'Tical 0: The Prequel'... Method Man - Things They Say (Feat. Lauryn Hill) I have gained new hope however after hearing this track from Meth's upcoming release '4:21 The [...]

He actually sent them in a week ago but its taken so long for me to just download them all and i never thought id have the time to review them... Oaktowns 357 - Fully Loaded First on the list, female rappers never fail to amaze me and Oaktown's 357 is no exception, under the lead of MC Hammer this female rap duo pleases the ears with an upbeat old school flayva that [...]

This is the next big thing to come out of the underground, Tanya Morgan is a group of 3 MALE rappers Von Pea and Ilwil (Ilyas and Donwill) and they combine under a ficticious female character Tanya Morgan... Thier style is unique sound which i cant really describe, you just have to listen to understand as it doesnt really fall under any music genres... The production in this album is flawless, great beats that have infinite rewind value... The rapping in my oppinion is at times inconsistent as the rappers have different styles they dont all flow so well on [...]

That Illegal joint was soo good i had to go out and find this, the only follow up from Illegal's group members... Jamal's solo debut 'Last Chance, No Breaks' was released in '95 so he isn't a kid anymore and doesnt have the distinguishing voice that drew me to him at first, however no one stays a kid forever and as he has matured, so have his rhymes and flow as Jamal kicks rhymes aggressively... The album features legendary producer Erick Sermon and has top quality beats from Redman, Sermon, Rockwilder and Easy Mo Bee... [...]

Ice-T - Original Gangster Before he was a bad actor, Ice-T was the original gangster and released some of the best albums of the 90s. 'Original Gangster' from '91 is probably Ice-Ts best work, his rhymes are [...]

In an unforseen turn of events Dally from Dally + Ivan Personal has made the decision to close down his blogsite. Dally and Ivan have both given huge ammounts of time and effort to the blogging community so be sure to leave your regards. Also be sure to check out the Smoking Section regularly as Dally will probably make some appearances there. I spoke to Dally about his decision to resign from blogging and his answers were no surprise. In the end it came down to... [...]
