Rome Streetz is a 36 year old MC from New York who broke out in 2016 off his debut mixtape I Been Thru Mad Shit. This was followed up by a plethora of projects, most notably the Noise Kandy tetralogy & Headcrack. But this current decade is easily his biggest one yet, as he dropped some of the best work of his career from the DJ Muggs -produced Death & the Magician or the Futurewave -produced Razor’s Edge to the Ransom -assisted collab effort Coup de Grâce & the Griselda Records deal that followed. His debut with the Buffalo powerhouse Kiss the Ring came in at the #9 spot on my Best Albums of 2022 list & is now enlisting Big Ghost Ltd. to produce his 8th album. “Godspeed” is a spine-tingling piano opener with Rome talking about going from having to take a chance to doing shows internationally prior to Conway the Machine tagging along for the boom bap inflicted “Suicide” to acknowledge that both wordssmiths are on the opposite sides of the spectrum compared to any...

  Here is a mix done by DJ Ian Head dedicated to the group De La Soul and Trugoy the Dove (RIP).  " Rest in Peace and Power Dave Trugoy the Dove Plug 2. An absolute tragic loss that I'm still in shock over. Sending love and support to his family and friends, and of course all the other fans like myself who literally grew up on De La Soul and Dave's voice and artistry. De La Soul is not dead however. Everyone should go out and buy and support their music when it starts streaming and becoming available for purchase in early March! This is a mix I made last Friday evening of some of my favorite De La records and samples, with a focus on Plug 2's mastery of the written and spoken word. All vinyl except for one obscure guest spot that I love which he did with Moka Only awhile back.  Salute to one of the absolute best groups and emcees EVER.

  An arrest warrant has been issued for rapper Kodak Black , on bail in a drug case, after he allegedly failed to show up for a drug test before testing positive for fentanyl . The warrant was issued by a Broward County Circuit Judge on Thursday and revealed by a number of news outlets. It's not clear if the hip-hop hitmaker, whose "Super Gremlin" was a top track on Billboard's Hot 100 chart last year, planned to surrender. His attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Broward County Sheriff's Office requested the warrant, alleging the rapper, also known as Bill Kapri, was a no-show for a scheduled drug test to be administered Feb. 3 by a contract testing services company. The sheriff's affidavit filed to support the issuance alleges that Black submitted to the test late, on Feb. 8, and the results were positive for fentanyl. The testing was required as part of his pretrial release on bail for a case that alleges Black tr...

24 February 2023 – Nashville, TN The new worship album from CAIN is out now. Honest Offering (Sony Music/Provident Entertainment), offers six songs, including two previously released leading up to today’s street date – “ Friend In Jesus ” and “ Praise Opens Prison Doors .” A live video for the title track can be viewed below. A compilation of worship songs is something the sibling trio has been wanting to make since their childhood, especially as teens when the Cain family would host high school Bible studies. “We’d pack so many in our family room and just sing to Jesus,” Madison Cain Johnson shares. Now singing as their careers, the siblings knew it was the right time to record some of their favorite worship songs along with sharing a few new ones. “We hope that this is a time that people can get lost in the songs and really connect with God,” Madison adds. “That is more than we can hope for, more than people just liking the songs or enjoying themselves. We really hope that peop...

H.A.R.D. is a hip hop super-duo consisting of Joell Ortiz & KXNG CROOKED. Both of whom have had notorious label issues at the start of their careers, but would go on to see success as members of the supergroup Slaughterhouse along with Royce da 5’9” & Joe Budden from the late 2000s up until the mid-2010s. The quartet had quietly disbanded in 2016 after Joe’s retirement from making music even though it wasn’t confirmed until 2 years later, but the other 3 members have been keeping themselves busy ever since. H.A.R.D. introduced themselves a couple months after the pandemic hit with an incredible eponymous debut EP along with 2 full-lengths last year:  The Rise & Fall of Slaughterhouse  and  Harbor City . But as the 1-year anniversary of their debut album approaches next month, they’re retuning with the 2nd EP. “Take Time” is a triumphant opener to the EP about the dynamic duo’s return & that getting paid doesn’t make sense whereas “Dodgers” has a more psy...

This is the 18th full-length album Kingston emcee Canibus. Coming up as 1/2 of the duo T.H.E.M. alongside C.I. back in ‘92, they eventually split up a few years later & Bis would blow up in ‘97 after appearing on the LL Cool J song “4, 3, 2, 1” that later resulted in a beef between both parties. He would then go on to make a lengthy yet consistent discography with albums like  Rip the Jacker being breathtaking at best & then  Mind Control  being unlistenable at worst. Now I haven’t covered Bis’ music since Kaiju which was an impressive comeback after & 6 & a half years away, but was thrilled when Johnny Slash was enlisted behind the boards for  Self Licking Ice Cream Cone . “S.L.I.C.C. (Self Licking Ice Cream Cone)” is a haunting yet raw opener to the album with Canibus talking about how y’all can’t absorb the rhymes he records whereas “Slack Jaw Fascists” is a menacing boom bap follow-up telling y’all how he thinks y’all be moving in the rap game. ...
