Album Review | @BigBoi – ‘Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors’

When you think of southern hip hop OGs, Big Boi is definitely one of the genre's finest. We've been fans of this Atlanta playa since his days as one half of the duo Outkast. Since then, his track record proves that he continuously grows as an artist, pushing away limitations that most artists would be afraid to challenge and never compromises his creativity by being anybody but himself. In this second studio album, 'Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors', Big Boi showcases his eccentricity that...

Young McFly & Jon The Barber – ‘Throw Up Music Vol. 1′ [Mixtape]

@JonTheBarber @YoungMcFly drop a six track mixtape titled Throw Up Music Volume 1.  Had to chuckle at the creativity behind this. Tracks designed to make you say "These songs are so great i just might have to THROW UP". That feel good classic hip hop music that makes you want to cruise through the city with the windows down soaking it all in. I'm going to warn you though, if you have a weak stomach to the sounds of throw up, brace yourself. LOL. My favorite on the tape has to be "Another...

Raheem Devaughn – ‘Destination: Loveland’ [Mixtape]

@Raheem_Devaughn hosted by @SnoopDogg. Just what you need on Valentine's Day. A smooth soundtrack to pop in to go to Destination: Loveland. Love Raheem Devaughn's voice.  I wish they would have made Snoop Dogg's intro smoother instead of a recording from an answering machine. What happened to the sensual seduction? Features include Marsha Ambrosius, Dwele, James Blake, Dr Maya Angelou, and Phil Ade. Presented by 368 Music Group and Raheem Devaughn himself. This mixtape definitely has replay...

Troy B – ‘Morning Lights’ [Mixtape]

@TroyDotB's new project. Finally getting to this in my email. I was going to do this later on but since Troy has been hitting me up on Twitter faithfully, I felt like out of respect, I had to listen to it now. Put together like an album, the project is a beautiful thing. He sampled one of my favorite friggin Seal tracks, "Crazy", and did it justice. Described as a a collection of original music and jackin' for beats in classic hip hop mixtape style. If you want to hear something more from an...

Scrilla H – ‘Short Days & Long Nights’ [Mixtape Review]

@Scrilla_H. This is the Boston rapper's second mixtape composed of mostly all original music and minimal features. Shout out to Samantha Jaclyn Management for sending this over. Pretty well put together mixtape. Usually I can't make myself sit through a mixtape of an artist I don't know or haven't heard about but I did with this one. I think it's important for an artist to be able to carry themselves without features. It shows that they can actually get the attention of people without a big...

Sassy Singz – ‘The Threat’ [Mixtape]

I didn't want to post this @SassySingz project until I gave it a full listen. Off the rip, the intro was a strong and extremely accurate introduction to this project. (I don't even like referring to this as a mixtape.) Sassy definitely proved that R&B isn't dead and she delivered that grade A 90s feel that's been missing since a lot of music is microwaved nowadays. It's not every day that I get chills when listening to somebody sing. I got chills listening to almost every EVERY SONG! This is...
