Queens D.Light - Everything Special
Queens D.Light - Everything Special
Sounds like: Ras_G, Invincible, Thee Satisfaction
By sweeney kovar on May 7, 2013 | As a culture/genre/industry of its own, hip-hop houses a continuum within itself. You can have two songs that are based on syncopated rhythms with rhyming, metered vocals that are vastly different from each other in style, content, and audience.Boom-... read more →

Rakim - What's Wrong
Sounds like: Jay Electronica, DJ Premiere, Nas
By sweeney kovar on Mar 14, 2013 | If you've at least mildly kept up with hip-hop music, I shouldn't have to begin to tell you why the mighty Rakim Allah is in the holy pantheon of rap gods.

Quelle Chris - Long Tokes (Ft. Cavalier)
Sounds like: Blu, Jon Wayne, Madlib
By sweeney kovar on Mar 6, 2013 | Quelle Chris never disappoints me. When I found out the nomadic, erratic MC had found a proper home with respectable indie imprint Mello Music Group, I was happy. Up until now, all his material has been released in uncompromisingly DIY and lo-fi mann... read more →

Sounds like: Soulection, Bugseed, Depakote

By sweeney kovar on Sep 8, 2012 | MassInflu, aka MassInfluence, is a feel-good boom-bap group from Atlanta. They were most active during the indie hip-hop boom of the late 90s, a time when Atlanta was bustling enough in that realm to sustain their own Fat Beats locale. After being qu... read more →

Ka - Every...
Ka - Every...
Sounds like: Nas, Roc Marciano, Pete Rock
By sweeney kovar on Apr 17, 2012 | Ka is far from a newcomer, but prior to his buzz-worthy sophomore LP Grief Pedigree, only the most die-hard hip-hop historians would have recognized his name. A 70s baby, the Brownsville MC has surfaced a few times before, most notably with the group... read more →

Apollo & OC - Prove Me Wrong
Sounds like: DJ Premier, Oddisee, Roc Marciano
By sweeney kovar on Apr 7, 2012 | OC is a classic MC from the Golden Era of NY hip hop. A member of DITC (Diggin' In The Crates), a crew that consist of such luminaries like Fat Joe (before he went jiggy), Lord Finesse, Showbiz, A.G., Buckwild and Big L, his place in the annals of hi... read more →
