Bad Rabbits - American Love [Album]
Regardless of where they might actually land on a mythical list of the greatest albums ever, we all have a favorite album that, for one reason or another, will stick with us and never get old. I have a few of these, and... Read Full Review
The Doppelgangaz - Barbiturates
The stimulant known as molly may be en vogue at the moment, but EP and Matter Ov Fact of The Doppelgangaz have been on some different ish lately. Very different, in fact. The latest single off the Orange County, New York... Read More
Ludacris - I Don’t Give A F**k
I could try to convince you why you should like Ludacris’ latest effort, but if you don’t already like the veteran emcee, in true Luda fashion, I Don’t Give A F**k. After all, how in the name of Southern Hospitality... Read More
YP ft. Sir Michael Rocks - Get With the Team
YP doesn’t invite just any shawty to kick it with him and his entourage but, for those who do meet his lofty standards, the perks are well worth it. On a new street single, the unsigned spitter offers one contender a... Read More
C Plus - Deep
As many emcees have observed over the years, the added complexities success brings into your life are liable to make you nostalgic for simpler times. Now that he’s gotten his first taste of the spotlight, Sac-Town... Read More
Juicy J - Boss N*gga
Based on the themes of his recent work, it’s easy to think of Juicy J as a carefree, fun-loving cat, who’s happy as long as he’s surrounded by kush smoke, money and bare t*tties. Which by and large is true.... Read More
Fat Joe ft. Wiz Khalifa & Teyana Taylor - Ballin’
“Dribble, dribble shoot—swish!” That’s the sound of Fat Joe and his crew Ballin’. Fresh off celebrating the opulence of his lifestyle on February’s Ceilings to the Sky, the Bronx vet continues to... Read More
Devine Carama - Light Switch Flow
I’m not gonna name names (after all, there’d be so many), but today’s rap game is chock full of emcees eager to appeal to the lowest common denominator, regardless of whether they’re insulting... Read More
The Weeknd - Kiss Land
In light of all The Weeknd‘s music has taught us about his behavior towards sex partners, the title of his Universal Republic debut album seems uncharacteristically tender. After a listen to the freshly-released lead... Read More
Dub-O - Moves To Make
Usually the moves I have to make include getting groceries and picking up dry cleaning, sometimes even major moves like getting an oil change. But rapping along a beach while the waves crash in? Those are moves I definitely... Read More
D-WHY - FaZe Clan
You know you listen to too much hip-hop when it surprises you to see a styrofoam cup filled with coffee rather than lean. With that said, if there’s one rapper who would release a song about his java addiction, D-WHY is... Read More
Brail - Gritts N Gravy
Topeka, Kansas recording artist Brail may hail from (just) north of the Missouri Compromise Line, but he clearly has a soft spot for Southern cuisine. On his latest single, making its world premiere right here in the Booth,... Read More
Syleena Johnson x Musiq Soulchild - Feel the Fire
Is it me, or is it getting a little hot in here? No, this isn’t a transparent ploy to get you to “take off all your clothes.” (Though if you feel like it, by all means, be my guest.) It’s just that, after a... Read More
Snow Tha Product - Cali Luv
With a name like Snow Tha Product, you might think she hails from Alaska or Colorado, but as her new single suggests she is all about the West Coast. And as you might imagine with a song entitled, Cali Luv, Tupac’s... Read More
The Cranberry Show ft. Mod Sun - Leather Seats
Back in April, The Cranberry Show kicked off promotion for their next street album with Gravity. Despite scoring points for creativity, the Gorillaz-inspired video single failed to elicit much excitement among readers in the... Read More
Ciara ft. Future & B.o.B. - Body Party (Remix)
I’m not one hundred percent sure what happens at a Body Party (though I do have some idea), but it must be similar to Brick from Anchorman‘s “pants party.” It’s only fitting that Ciara has brought... Read More
Alicia Keys - Tears Always Win
The last video single off Alicia Keys’ fifth full-length found her kindling a metaphorical flame with the help of neo-soul veteran Maxwell. But passion, however scorching it may be at first, has an unfortunately... Read More
