De La Soul’s Buhloone Mindstate, released in 1993, is a dense, playful, and introspective chapter in the group’s catalog. It’s a record that revels in its own complexity, weaving together sharp lyricism, jazz-infused production, and a defiant attitude toward the music industry’s expectations. Posdnuos, Trugoy the Dove, and Maseo, alongside producer Prince Paul, craft an album that feels like a conversation among friends—full of inside jokes, cultural nods, and emotional weight. Clocking in at just under 48 minutes, it’s leaner than their previous work, but every second brims with purpose. The sound is warm, the mood is reflective, and the…

It’s not every day that an artist is recognized for their success outside of music. In fact, there’s an unusual dichotomy between what rappers do and what they’re celebrated for. While most of today’s key players in hip-hop are hard at work scoring new milestones in their careers, some acts are doing the groundwork through community outreach and philanthropic giving that’s creating an impact beyond their music. In doing so, many cities around the U.S. have awarded rappers with a coveted key to the city or have named an entire day after them as a gesture to honor their efforts.In late 2022, Lil Baby received…
There’s something that’s been bubbling under the surface, and I wasn’t gonna say much. But now that the cat’s out of the bag, I might as well speak on it. Nas and Raekwon are a dynamic duo that Hip-Hop needs. They never miss. Every time they link up, it’s magic. Honestly, if they ever decided to do a joint album, it could be legendary. Raekwon just dropped his latest album, The Emperor’s New Clothes, and it’s fire. It hit right after that new Clipse release, and it’s continuing the great year for the culture. But you know how it goes… whenever something dope…

Public Enemy’s Black Sky Over The Projects: Apartment 2025 arrives with no fanfare, no rollout, no radio push—just a surprise drop on Bandcamp under their own Flavor Flav Records imprint. That approach fits the tone of the album: unfiltered, urgent, and grounded in the same core convictions Chuck D and Flavor Flav have carried for decades. This isn’t It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back or Fear of a Black Planet, but no one with sense expects it to be. That era is locked in history. What this is, though, is a hard-hitting, tightly built record that…
