Art Barz – Off With His Head 2 Ft. Black Cloud Music
Yes, that’s what I’m talking about. If you aren’t familiar with Black Cloud yet, now would be a good time to check out the roster of talent. And they keep adding to it. At work I cranked it up in the headphones and rocked out in my seat. “OFF WITH HIS HEAD!” I’m very proud [...]
Richard Wright – Open Minded
The combination of J. Bizness and Richard Wright is like chocolate and peanut butter. You like both separately, but together is some other level sh!t. With all the guest appearances J. Bizness and Richard Wright are reaching for outer space on this one. Open Minded is the best thing that has dropped this year, and you can quote me on [...]

Elevated Ruffians – Magnificent Soul (EP)
I don’t know, maybe I’m a sucka for sampling, but the Elevated Ruffians know how to make it a hit. Or it could be because they’re rep’n the I.E. to the fullest. Or just maybe it’s the combination of word play and content. Either way…DOWNLOAD IT! I got an email from the Elevated Ruffians with all [...]

Curtiss King – Snick @ Nite
My man Noa James shot me an email, and was like you gotta check out Curtiss King’s Snick @ Nite. After listening to Bangin’ On A Trash Can & Guttah Gullah Island I was feeling it, and was sure Snick @ Nite was *ish that’s going to be on some other level. Right away I [...]

My man Noa James does it again. Breaking out of the cage and bringing you Sounds Of A Monster. What I dig about that cat Noa James is his lyrics. He’s clever, shares personal stories and the 90s WWF references. Sounds Of A Monster lets you in on how Noa James ticks. One of my [...]
