DJ Z's TOP HIP HOP SINGLES

Hi-Rez Hi-Rez - “Music In Me”

“This has serious hit single potential. The lively, upbeat melody and poppy production has massive crossover appeal. Rez, I am a fan. More of these and you'll be a household name in no time.”

Colby O'Donis Colby O'Donis - “Like Me”

“Occasionally, I'll think to myself: "Where has FILL IN THE BLANK been these days?!" The other day I had that moment/thought in regard to Colby O’Donis, who low and behold dropped off his new single earlier today. Its pop-alicous, radio-ready fun and if you hate on it, you're not a fan of easy listening ear candy.”

First Serve First Serve - “Must B The Music ”

“Welcome back De La... um, uh, well, most of De La! Funky, fresh, and creatively original. The video (see the stream) really makes the song come to life. I hope the entire project is as enjoyable as this lead offering.”

Paradise Promo Photo Rittz - “Paradise”

“Rittz, Nikkiya and Burn One?! Did someone raid my iPod before this record was conceived? Consistent with the sounds of each collaborating member and an enjoyable listen.”

Going, Going, Gone Promo Photo Add-2 - “Going, Going, Gone”

“When people ask me: Who is making your city proud, Z? I always name drop Add-2. A record w/ 9th Wonder like this is one of those reasons why...”

Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang Promo Photo Raekwon - “Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang”

“He does it again. I could be referring to Rae's work on this album or Nathan S.'s reviewing skills. Luckily, I don't have to specify because both are the case. And repeat.”

Grizzly City 3 Promo Photo Fashawn - “Grizzly City 3”

“Hey J'Maal121, just because Nathan S. hasn't reviewed a "mainstream" album in over a month doesn't mean that there was a mainstream album worth of review. Fantasia and Dondria both had a limited number of previous features at the site, Usher's album was essentially a re-release, and Lyfe's new album will be reviewed this Thursday. With all that said (or typed), can you really justify your 1-star rating here? Our choice to review certain projects should not impact your ratings... Dope review, dope tape, I'm ready for more Fashawn!”
