Chali 2na
His long-awaited and much anticipated solo hip-hop album features the usual hallmarks of Chali’s deep voice and rapid-fire, staccato-style flow.
Fugees
If you’ve been a hip-hopper since the 90’s or earlier you undoubtedly know about the Fugees. I’m not writing this review for you…
The Truth is Here EP | Brother Ali
Brother Ali is one of the sickest emcees in the game. It’s hard to find other artists that so passionately put themselves at the mercy of their listeners. This man has Hip-Hop in his soul and it reflects in the quality of his music. Check out the latest release, The Truth is Here EP!
Ameish
Ameish is a dope up and coming artist from Los Angeles, CA. We had a chance to sit down and chat with him about his music and the business. Check the interview and watch out for the EP!
Zion I: Geek To The Beat
iLL Roots: So we just wrote a review on Zion I. If you dig their music, check out their latest music video for Geek To The Beat.
Kanye West on Southpark
Southpark: They have Kanye singing on a vocoder that he’s a gay fish. Totally ridiculous, yet funny!
Distant Relatives | Damian Marley & Nas
Damian Marley and Nas will be collaborating on an album entitled Distant Relatives (2009).
Guru Energy Drink | Kanye West
Guru: Kanye West, like many other rappers, is releasing his own energy drink. But Kanye like always keeps it very conscious here. He chose an energy drink that’s all natural and 100% organic. Perhaps raw?
The TakeOver | Zion I
Clocking in at just under an hour, The TakeOver is Zion I’s statement album to the world and is very accurately titled. Whether you have followed the crew since Mind Over Matter (or even before that with the Enter the Woods EP) or are brand new to their music, you will not be disappointed.
The Roots in HD
okayplayer: This is a really high quality and good sound quality live performance by The Roots and Talib Kweli. I would have embedded this, but it’s just more fun to watch in HD!
