8Ball & MJG Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, Street Veterans, Interviews
When it comes to longevity in the rap game, Memphis duo 8Ball & MJG are the gold standard (although I am sure they’d much prefer a platinum standard). Reppin’ the South long before Mike Jones picked up a microphone or Chamillionaire won a Grammy award, 8Ball & MJG return to the limelight with their second album release off Bad Boy South. Ridin High, featuring a medley …

Styles P. Interview

Pushed back for numerous reasons, the most prevalent of which includes politics at his label home of Interscope, the album will finally see its release almost three years later.

Consequence Interview
Filed under: Street Veterans, We Got Next, Interviews
Nearly thirteen years (and countless 24 hour studio sessions) ago, Queens-born rapper Consequence made his at large debut. Linking up with cousin Q-Tip, Consequence joined Ali Shaheed and Phife Dawg on A Tribe Called Quest’s classic album, Midnight Marauders. His connection with the Tribe was both important and helpful, although it never allowed his solo work to materialize. Fast forward eleven years, a Chicago MC and …

Daz released his first solo album under Death Row Records in 1998. By that time Dr. Dre had been gone from the label for nearly two years, Snoop Dogg enlisted in the “No Limit” army alongside Master P, Suge Knight was locked up in prison, and 2pac was dead. On a brighter note, Daz didn’t have to worry about his project getting shelved or that another …
