I was heavily influenced by East Coast sound and Japhia Life was a great addition to my listening library. Within mere moments of the “Preface” intro, he had my attention from his accent alone. As we get to “Precious Memories,” Japhia embodies the concept of the project and creates a visual anthem for anyone who thought back to their childhood. This song is a true definition of what nostalgia should invoke on your brain and body. “Let no one Die” is a unique track. The happy, yet smooth 80s h

The Trap sees Minor at his most vulnerable and honest as he critiques the unchecked systems of power and abuse that have disproportionately affected minorities, specifically African-Americans, and perhaps most tragically, the church's own failure to address these issues. Though he raps on the titular opening track "This record might be the end of me," he nonetheless remains rooted in his convictions and says, "This what the Lord been giving me / Someone to re-envision our history." Thus, Minor

Guru of Gangstarr once said that ‘if your voice ain’t dope you need to chill.’ At the risk of sounding too technical, my assertion is that the same rule still applies that was valid in 1994 on the Hard to Earn album.

With Blood Rushing to My Head, veteran mixtapist Eshon Burgundy delivers something extremely authentic. The album seems to pay tribute to an era of Big Poppas and Easy Mo Bee’s, a time when ‘riding’ with a team was normal in lieu of solely being branded by a rap name. (See: the h

This is not 'The Night We Called It A Day' part two. Whereas their first album was superb, but had a melancholic atmosphere running through it, 'Unique.' is more musically aggressive, mature and diverse. Lyrically, staple hip-hop topics are balanced by more in-depth and passionate subjects, while the lesser MCs last time round have improved their styles tenfold. My highlights are "Axe To Grind", which can be described as a God-ordained, Braveheart-esque war cry for the hip-hop generation, the

FLAME & Mike REAL Image


Mike REAL and FLAME are both from St. Louis, Missouri, and have known each other for over ten years. Mike said that one time

“A friend of mine from high school was the little brother of his [FLAME’s] producer at the time, and he was like ‘My brother is producing for this dude, he’s dope. You should come to my church and check him out,’ so I did.”

When Mike REAL went to see Flame for the first time, he liked his music and bought FLAME’s four song EP, which is not anywhere on the Internet

The purpose of this album was to showcase the writing and singing tal

It’s seldom these days to be absolutely impressed with a rap music project. With most artists on the rap scene regurgitating weak lines and repetitive hooks over trap beats, it’s easy to just walk away and wish you never tried to give someone’s music attention. Well this project isn’t one of those times. Thi’sl’s music embodies the best of what rap music can be if it were unmarred by the corporate invention of gangster rap. The quote “Heavy is the head that wears the crown.”  is a well

Those in the underground know Japhia and hail his first mixtape, Pages of Life: Chapter One, as a classic often compared to Illmatic from Nas. With his newest release, Westside Pharmacy, Japhia finds himself ready to be discovered by the masses. He's a Christian and doesn't hide from his beliefs (Japhia states "I saw the light when I was 17, man, that's the flyest thing I've ever seen. I've been a Christian in Christian Dior, ducking the triple six in Seven jeans" in "Lifey's Revenge"), but is
