Young Jeezy – Thug Motivation 103: Hustlerz Ambition [Review]

It’s been a weird couple of years for Young Jeezy.

Adding to that was the fact that Thug [...]

Drake – Take Care [Review]

I have an odd relationship with Drake’s music. Comeback Season is not only the Drake album that still gets the most spins from me, but it’s one of my favorite mixtapes period. So Far Gone was our choice for mixtape of the year in ’09 and while I thought it was good, it wasn’t as [...]

Wale – Ambition [Review]

“I’m going to make a classic album…this album is make or break.” Wale’s words about this album. As if reppin’ the DMV, being on Maybach Music Group and following up an album that garnered love but much fewer sales wasn’t enough, he’s taken this album as his moment. I gotta respect how serious he is about this [...]

Sep 30th

Posted by King Jerm over at nappyafro.com

I don’t think there is another rapper in the game that has the kind of success that Gucci Mane has had while staying STREET. Radric Davis aka Gucci Mane has been a draw in Hip-Hop for the last 2 years and no one knows why or how, but Gucci Mane has been all over the [...]

Posted by B-Easy over at nappyafro.com

If you thought female MC’s not named Minaj were dead, you better not tell Rah Digga. Yea, her last album Dirty Harriet may have been 10 years ago but don’t let that fool you; Digga’s flow is still as rowdy as ever. For her sophomore set, not only did she craft one of the cutest and [...]
