Da Hillfiguz (also known as “Hillfiguz” or “Hillfiguzes”) was a Hip-Hop group from Brownsville, Brooklyn, New York. It’s members were Dogface, Danga, and T-Hall with T-Hall serving as producer and Danga & Dogface rapping. Hillfiguz were yet another Hip-Hop group who had the potential to be golden era […]
Brooklyn rapper Labba dropped his third album a couple of weeks back and it went without any fanfare despite it being a highly enjoyable listen. The LP is called The 9 and like the title suggests, it contains nine raw, hard-as-concrete joints by the often overlooked MC, whose […]
Pro Era’s CJ Fly who gave us mixtapes Thee Way Eye See It in 2013 and Flytrap in 2016, today releases his debut studio album Rudebwoy. The LP’s artwork and title represents his familial heritage of Barbados and Jamaica but this island-referencing aesthetic isn’t exactly a constant for […]
The legend that is Jaz-O dropped a 10-track mixtape-slash-album last week titled The Warm Up and it’s a very enjoyable listen. The Originator has always been one of the all-time Hip-Hop greats but for some reason he’s never been elevated to “G.O.A.T.” status. With a well-documented feud between […]
It’s been just over two years since the Flatbush Zombies released their great yet underrated debut album, so it’s about time we heard some more music from everybody’s favourite psychedelic trio. The Zombies’ sophomore album Vacation In Hell is a hefty release, following on from their previous 12-track […]
Narubi Selah, an MC originally from Trenton, New Jersey and now residing in Brooklyn, New York has been overlooked and outright ignored by the mainstream Hip-Hop community. As a playwright, a poet, and rapper, Narubi shows an obvious flair for lyricism and her two albums I Am Living […]
Pro Era Producer and MC Chuck Strangers releases his debut album Consumers Park today and I am pleased to report that it’s a fantastic listen. With a distinctly nostalgic vibe, this album is the epitome of smooth Hip-Hop with rich, full-flavoured sounds. The album is at times both […]
K.G.B. (Klik Ga Bow) a Hip-Hop group from Coney Island and Brooklyn, were one of the most impressive and memorable Wu-Tang affiliates and yet they never released an album or a mixtape. There’s a couple of bootleg compilations that you can easily find on the internet but other […]
Meechy Darko, one third of the Flatbush Zombies, is without a doubt, the standout member of the group. Sure, Erick Arc Elliott is the production-linchpin of the trio but it’s Darko who brings the band a sense of distinctiveness. With one of the most unique voices and deliveries […]
Sean Price, one half of 90s rap duo Heltah Skeltah sadly passed away in 2015 and today, on the second anniversary of his death, we have his posthumous solo album titled Imperius Rex released on Duck Down records. The album is a satisfying listen for any fan; whether […]
In 1994, Jeru The Damaja released his début album ‘The Sun Rises In The East’ produced entirely by Gang Starr’s DJ Premier. Jeru’s monotone voice accompanied by his naturalistic, slow flow (which paused mid-sentence) was his trademark style. When he declared that “[I] got a freaky, freaky, freaky […]
“Civil War” is a mixtape that was released in December last year by Hip-Hop group Bankai Fam, but unfortunately like their début EP “On My Side”, this satisfying example of contemporary Hip-Hop is going unnoticed. “Civil War” is marketed as a mixtape but it’s more like a full-blown […]
Your Old Droog made some noise in the underground when rumours circulated that he was an alter-ego of Queensbridge MC Nas. After it was discovered that Droog was in fact a young rapper from Brooklyn, he was given props for bringing old-school, lyrical, storytelling back to the genre. […]
