When I first heard Common’s “I Used to Love H.E.R.“, I instantly fell in love. No pun intended. It was one of those smooth, lyrical songs that spoke to something deeper than on the surface. That was ’94. Fast forward some 20 years and Common has dropped the follow up to the hit […]
Simply one of the best bands EVER, The Roots continue to do their thing. I was fortunate to see them in concert again about two weeks ago. They kill. Black Thought has got to be one of the most, if not the single most underrated emcee ever. Dude’s voice live flows with so much clarity […]

With Kanye’s promise to release a new track every Friday until Christmas, he took every bit of the day to release this Friday’s track “Devil in a New Dress”. Classic Kanye here. The track is produced by Bink, but Kanye delivers on the lyrics and wordplay. Takes me back to the first time I heard […]
There’s not much to say about this record other than it is a classic and timeless. It’s amazing how the more things change, the more they unfortunately stay the same. Peace and Love! The Message by T. Lewis for Hearts Of Kings

Ok, so if you didn’t know, I am a huge hip hop head. And when it comes to old school hip hop, I’m a fiend. So imagine how I felt when I discovered The Rub. The site has a radio section that has some mean old school hip hop mixes. Chronicled from ’79 all the […]

“Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?” Those are lyrics that most hip hop heads probably know well. Jay-Z birthed them in “Renegade” from his album The Blueprint. This is also the introductory line for the song “Not At All” by four young men named: The Niceguys. The Niceguys […]
Being a kid of the ’80’s, listening to De La Soul brings back a lot of memories. Especially hearing their 1989 hit Me, Myself and I. The song speaks of individuality and being comfortable with our own style and who we are. Thinking back to those days, it was always fun trying to find my […]
What makes Hip-Hop so beautiful is the different ways artist can and choose to deliver there message. And when I say Hip-Hop, I am not just talking about just rapping, but ALL that the culture encompasses. BrandUn DeShay is one of those artist that brings a solid alternative to what radio calls Hip-Hop. Intent on […]
Balance. That one word embodies all that we seek in life. Balance. We’ll take the bad, as long as there is some good. With that being said, Little Brother is what’s good in Hip Hop. The North Carolina based group has been doing their thing for years. The group has pretty much been a staple […]
