London, England, United Kingdom emcee Verb T running it back with Vic Grimes for his 14th studio LP. Most notable for being a member of The Four Owls, he’s also been carving a path of his own for nearly 2 decades putting out over a dozen LPs & 8 EPs in that span of time. I didn’t care for Restoration as much as The Tower Where the Phantom Lives & the same can be said regarding both Homer Loan & it’s sequel, hoping To Love a Phantom would continue with the momentum of it’s predecessor. We get a somber boom bap instrumental all over the intro “Through the Wall” talking about moving more…

21 Savage urged Drake not to get involved in beef with Kendrick Lamar.On Thursday night (Dec. 11), the Perspektives With Bank podcast aired a new interview with the Slaughter Gang rapper ahead of the release of his new album What Happened to the Streets? During the sit-down, 21 addressed the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef. The Atlanta rhymer revealed he warned Drake not to engage in the lyrical squabble.”I told that ni**a not to even do all that sh*t anyway,” 21 said. “I told that ni**a leave that sh*t alone. But he felt like he was being challenged lyrically, so…

Light-Years arrives with the weight of two decades of conversations behind it. Nas and DJ Premier never promised this album, and over the years the idea shifted from rumor to myth. You would hear whispers in interviews, a hint in a bar, an anniversary teaser, a half-serious shrug from Premier on a podcast, then silence again. When the record finally lands, it doesn’t behave like a relic or a museum piece. It’s a working-musician album made by two men who refuse to act like their careers ended at a generational high point. That decision shapes the entire project. What hits…

Queensbridge, New York icon Nas linking up with DJ Premier for his 18th LP. Known for being the son of jazz cornetist/guitarist Olu Dara, his debut illmatic & the equally classic sophomore effort It Was Written would both go on to be widely acknowledged as some of the greatest albums in hip hop history. I also enjoy stillmatic, The Lost Tapes, God’s Son & Life is Good. Then there was the Kanye West-produced NASIR & The Lost Tapes II, which I felt like they were fine additions to his catalogue even though the overall consensuses were polarizing. Both the King’s Disease & Magic trilogies produced by Hit-Boy however would all become his most celebrated material since Life is Good, finishing Mass Appeal Records’ historic Legend…
