So you may have heard “Cappuccino” or “Bang! Bang!” but if you liked them and you haven’t heard the rest of the album I highly suggest it. This duo from New Orleans got a little help opening for Common, and this debut album has gotten some attention, but not as much as I think it […]

I’m not even gonna front, I slept on Blu’s 2007 debut release Below The Heavens (Produced by Exile) for a good year before I heard it. Not having heard this album is a SIN, seriously the rhymes and feel that Blu brings for a debut album are remarkble and reminiscent of NaS on Illmatic. The […]

In the midst of all the great releases of 2008, N’Telligence’s album Black Boy Lost really went under the radar, which is a great shame. N’Telligence is a South Carolina MC, which I hadnt really heard of until he did an interview/album download with Kevinnottingham.com. Interview: Check It. The albums production is really funky and […]
