• billy woods – GOLLIWOG | Review 9 May 2025
  billy woods’ GOLLIWOG opens like a trap door. It doesn’t aim to provoke in cheap ways. It lingers, stalks, and drips with unease, constructed like a horror movie shot in reverse. Across 18 tracks, woods delivers some of his most vivid, fractured work to date. The album is dense and difficult on purpose, pulling from […]

• Knowledge The Pirate & Roc Marciano – The Round Table | Review 6 May 2025
  Knowledge the Pirate’s The Round Table is a razor-sharp collaboration with longtime friend and producer Roc Marciano. It’s a cold, calculated, and tightly wound album that keeps its focus locked on mood, structure, and stripped-down street poetry. Across 14 tracks, the duo stays in their own lane—grim, minimal, and confident. The beats don’t chase momentum, […]

• Saba & No I.D. – From The Private Collection Of Saba And No I.D. | Review 7 April 2025
  From The Private Collection Of Saba And No I.D. is an album built on groove, focus, and mutual respect. The production is steeped in soul, jazz, and dusty funk, with drums that knock and samples that swirl but never overcrowd.

  KRS-One—Kris Parker—rolled out of the Bronx in the mid-’80s like a freight train, his voice a booming roar that shook Hip Hop’s core. Born August 20, 1965, he’s no mere MC; he’s a pillar, a philosopher, a live-wire preacher who’s carried the culture’s torch from street corners to lecture halls. His latest, Temple Of Hip […]

Two voices cut through: Lord Finesse, gruff and steady, laying down bars with the weight of a seasoned coach, and Percee P, a rapid-fire cyclone, spitting rhymes that twist and tumble like a […]
