It’s not too often I find myself wanting to grab a cup of coffee, fit on my best pair of over-the-ear headphones, and begin meditating on a hip-hop album. Beautiful Eulogy—hailing from Portland, Oregon—is back with their third studio album titled Worthy, and the excellence and originality of their art is once again deserving of a close listen.
The hip-hop climate is faddish, and I’ve had trouble sitting with albums past their release weekends. I’ve had about a week to sit with Worthy, and
Heath McNease and Playdough dropped a free mixtape together, with each track borrowing a beat either from a Wu Tang track or a track from one of Wu's solo projects.
Heath McNease and Playdough are two of the dopest emcees around right now. They've each had several releases in the past year, each high quality releases, and they've showed no signs of slowing down. They keep it up with Wed, White & Wu.
Wu Tang beats are known for being pretty raw, and to keep the

“Move Merchants II”, has a 70’s action movie theme and contains 11 tracks. The guest appearances include Krum (Playdough, Deepspace5, Ill Harmonics), Jurny Big (Tunnel Rats), Elias (Scribbling Idiots, Dafuniks), and newcomer Le, from Austin, TX.

‘Thr3e’ is the third album in the Lord Fire series by Scribbling Idiot member Theory Hazit. Entirely produced by Dert, this album is full of storytelling, verbal action and dope beats. Ch3ck it out!
Theory Hazit was born and raised in Winchester Kentucky with the support of his granny, an aunt and two uncles. He always had a vivid imagination, enjoying cartoons more than music videos. He grew up with a love for New Edition, Kid ‘n’ Play, and dancing like Big Daddy Kane.
The opening track,
You took a break from recording and stepped away and you’re back now. I know all of the fans are excited. We’ve got 19 cuts on The Restoration. Where’s that title come from? Is that the whole theme of the project, or is that a personal theme?
Good question. The answer is yes to both of those questions. Restoration comes from seeing it in the word, understanding that the gospel is God’s restoration of messed up people. Before I got married I thought I was a pretty Godly guy, as a lot of us sing
Sinema embraces a theatrical-like plot between Allen Swoope and Mya Desirae (My Desire) smothered in temptation while overshadowed by the daily battle men struggle with in lust as the starring role. Swoope’s third full release portrays a summer blockbuster tagged as one of the most prolific concept albums released since the likes of Sho Baraka’s Talented 10th. This project intertwines tracks seamlessly together like movie scenes building the relationship between Swoope and Mya similar to a twi

“Datin is a man after God’s heart. Datin is a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Datin is an everyday, regular dude.”
Datin’s new album Hell in the Hallway in intended to encourage the listener “no matter what trial they’re going through, no matter what storm they may be in.”
In the past year since releasing The Menace Mixtape, Datin has been facing tumultuous storms in his own life.
“A year ago, my marriage took a turn for the worst.”
Though Datin tried to reconcile his relatio
Street Date: December, 2004When news dropped that Mars Ill's sophomore Gotee release would be delayed yet again, hip-hop fans were undoubtedly left disappointed. A lot of fans were eagerly anticipating the release of Pro Pain, so its delay meant that Mars Ill would have several months of dead air to fill before its release. So the problem arises: what does a critically acclaimed hip-hop duo do to appease fans in the months before the release of a highly anticipated project? Well if you're
Hailing from Lafayette, Louisiana, DJ Maj (aka Mike Allen) has acquired a knack for "spicing" things
In 1992, Maj’s love for music lead him to relocate to Nashville, Tennesse where he composed his self-released mix tape, Sabbatical Transit. As with DJ Maj's first national release on Gotee Records(Wax Museum, see review), his bistro artistically describes the skill of blending a recipe of individual tracks together by ad libbing cuts, other sound effects and beats to formulate a seamless, perp

Thi’sl is the type of artist that only comes around every once in a while. Raw, hardcore and has experienced enough ups and downs in life to really not care whether or not you like him or what he has to say. An individual that is as polarizing and influential as a 2Pac, while still being a figure who has clearly been transformed and refined by the grace of God. Fallen King is as much a story of the old Thi’sl as it is the current young thug on the corner in your local hood. It’s a story th
There are three reasons you may not know Jurny Big: he’s a gritty battle rapper, he’s old, and he’s Christian. Praised by his fans as the best Christian rapper ever, Jurny Big is known for his one-on-one competitions -- where one MC proves they're more skilled than another with intricate rhyme patterns, metaphors, and punchlines. The Southern California native got his start as a founding member of The Tunnel Rats, a supergroup collective of Christian battle rappers that formed after the Los Ange
