Best Friends Inc. - Mobstyle album review
Best Friends Incorporated (BFI) is a murder for hire gang/drug cartel from Detroit, Michigan. Best Friends Incorporated is the most deadliest gang in Detroit since Young Boys Incorporated. They very dangerous and have ties with the YBI gang. Best Friends Incorporated is Bladewood Ice, Street Lord Juan, and Tez. This was done before Bladewood Ice, Street Lord Juan, and Tez became Street Lordz in 1999.
Detroit Playaz is the bomb ass Detroit anthem right here! This is the Detroit anthem! I love the 70s funk sample of Parliament/Funkadelic. Bladewood Ice, Street Lord Juan, and Tez all three showcase their brehsive skills on da mic. The radio interview live in the studio tells us what Best Friends Incorporated is really all about. The bass is heavy and the production is quite loud. So turn up your speakers to hear the loudness.
Now when this album came out, everyone in Austin went crazy!
This album is filled with pure classic gangsta rap tales from tha hood! Stories consist of drug dealing, partying at the nightclubs, leading the social life of socializing, networking, beefs with rival gangs, death, life, prostitution, killings, random murders, getting that cash, pussy, weed, alcohol, and other gangsta rap related elements! All the elements that make this album an underrated classic gangsta rap album!
5/5*****!!

DJ BLAQSTAR - KING OF ROQ
KING OF ROQ is mostly electronic mashup music meets bounce rap. I'll admit that the album gets annoying and repetitive at times with the same looped samples of Southern rap playing in the background over and over again on numerous tracks of this album. The beats are frivolous, quirky insane, and offbeat. There are 31 songs total all on CD! The Fly Guy and Hipno are the most featured guest artists. The most notable tracks are Crazy Leg Wit It, Rock Wit Me, ALLDAY, Pornostar, Shake It 2 The Ground, ROQ Off Beat, Swagga Back, and Xplode. This album tracklisting is in mixtape format.
4/5****!

Cool Nutz - Incredible
Cool Nutz is a rapper from Portland, Oregon. The whole album is produced by a dude named Terminill. Some of the brehsive NW rap that comes out of the Pacific Northwest United States. Arjay and Chris Ray are the most featured guest artists on this here album., Bosko should have been more featured as a featured guest artist. Darkness by Arjay is the shit! So is the song Everyway. The title of this album describes the whole album altogether. This whole album is, well, Incredible!!
5/5*****!!

Tracy Chapman - Crossroads album review
Crossroads came out in 1990. The album booklet insert acts as a musical notes sheet similar to how musical notes are laid out. Just think music notation for now. Anyway… Subcity, Crossroads, Bridges, and Material World are favorites. For those who didn't know, Tracy Chapman is a good songwriter. Similar to how Eric Clapton, Amy Grant, Paul McCartney, and Niel Young were great songwriters of their time during their musical careers.
4/5****

Matisyahu - Youth Matisyahu
This album is considered by Matisyahu fans to be the best album that Matisyahu has dropped so far! Matisyahu is no stranger to genre-combining. He has mixed Reggae and Blues on this album. Laswell makes Matisyahu's sound polished as he normally does. He can't resist adding a sound effects over studio trickery in most tracks. The album of course is live. "What I'm Fighting For" is a surprisingly spiritual with a spiritual message.
4/5****!

DJ Shadow - Six Days single review
What's significant of this single is that Six Days is a reference to the Six Days War in Israel back in 1967 on the Gaza Strip. Six Days contains a sample of Colonel Bagshot. Brian Ferrell wrote the song for Colonel Bagshot. DJ Shadow wrote the entire CD single. This CD single is enhanced with a music video. This CD single feels quite historical.

DJ Shadow - You Can't Go Home Again single review
You Can't Go Home Again by DJ Shadow was released in 2002 on MCA Records.
The single is mostly electronic mashup music. You Can't Go Home Again is super dope! Trench Battle Beat has the most breakbeats ever heard in a DJ Shadow song ever! Disavowed is a slower song than the rest of the three songs on this single.
5/5*****!!

U-God - The Keynote Speaker album review
This album came out on eOne and Soul Temple in 2012. This album was well-liked and to be garnered by music critics and most East coast Wu-Tang fans. U-God has been the most consistent member Wu-Tang TANG Clan. So has Method Man. Keynote Speaker production levels are dope. It's almost on the same level as Dopium. The beat is excellent.Keynote Speaker is the primary highlight song off this album hence being the title track. You'll wonder if GZA had produced this track.
Fire is Method Man and U-God over a good beat. They should do a compilation album together and have it be a "Method Man and U-God presents…" type of deal. That would be even more brehsive than ever! U-God does flow very well and one can't argue with that. Neither can any other Wu-Tang Clan fan or any other U-God fans. All in all, the flows and beats fit in perfectly with this song. The beat is brehsive. It's almost on the same level as Dopium.
GZA and RZA should have been featured on Golden Arms, Skyscraper, and Heavyweight. Those remind me of the classic Wu-Tang sound. Inspectah Deck was dope. He hit hard.
The Keynote Speaker proves to be a solid album with no flaws. U-God is still relevant.
5/5*****!

Peggy Lord - The Lusty Trusty Buster album review
Peggy Lord is The Leggy Lusty Trusty Buster on her debut album, The Lusty Trusty Buster. The reason I dub Peggy Lord the "The Leggy Lusty Trusty Buster" is because Peggy Lord was wearing pantyhose before it was cool. She often showed off her legs. Other than that, Peggy Lord was considered one of those exciting news stars that were in demand to play and perform in top nightclubs across the country. She knew how to play guitar and she knew how to have fun with the audience.This album was produced by Fletcher Smith.
5/5*****!

Enya - Watermark album review
The lead single called Orinoco Flow avoids repeating the successful formula pattern of Caribbean Blue from the Shepherd Moons album. Orinoco Flow is what made this album successful as Caribbean Blue on the album called Shepherd Moons had become successful. Storms in Africa lead to equally compelling slightly calmer results as to being a choice single for this album. Atlantic made a good choice by making Storms in Africa a single.
5/5*****!

Kenneth Gamble – Standing In The Shadows single review
For those who don't know, before Kenneth Gamble ran Philadelphia International Records he was a soul singer. He was a soulful singer at that. Well you see Kenneth Gamble had a popular underground single in the Philadelphia soul circuit called Standing In The Shadows that came out on 45. Now Standing In The Shadows was played at house parties and jukeboxes at soda parlors everywhere in Philadelphia in the year his single came out. On the other side was a son called No Mail On Monday.

Wojack - Where Ya Goin? ! album review
Looking for some dark ass gangsta rap to jam out to in the dark night? Well then this album is just right for you! The whole album has that dark grimey East Coast sound along with that grimey San Diego sound similar to Black Mikey, Orko, Big Maine, MOTU, Nuttz, Ms. Kitty, and Malik-Bo. It reminds me of Onyx too. Wojack is unknown to most people and many people in the underground scene do not know about him in general. In fact, Wojack is overlooked and underrated. That sound is so profound. You will love the sound and production. Most of the album is similar to Brotha Lynch Hung - Loaded and FOE - Scissorhands that both came out on Black Market Records. The dark grimey sound is quite prevalent on this album.
4/5****!

Trouble The Hoodrat - Murder Rapp album review
Midwest is always the best! It goes hard! If you enjoy that gangsta funk from the If you enjoy that underground Midwest horrorcore sound and that sicc shit, then this album is for you! Crazy Al, Daddy Madd, and Mack Tha Jacka all appear on this album.
Trouble The Hoodrat was wack. Trouble The Hoodrat was trying to imitate EVOL, Mitchy Slick in a way, and acid rap. Plus there are way too many numerous skits on this album. The album cover artwork and graphic design is very generic. This is the most wack rap album to have ever come out of Saginaw, Michigan.
2/5**

Various Artists - The Sounds of Hawaii album review
You will love the chilling smooth sounds of this album. This album really gives away authentic feel of the Native Hawaiian sound. Think about the steel drums, xylophones, tremolo, timbre, percussion, clavs, and drums. Some favorites are Trade Winds, Kalena Kai, Pulelehua, and I love Kaua'i.
4/5****

Xiu Xiu - tu mi piaci EP review
This Xiu Xiu little EP is on some weird ass label from Madrid, Spain that no one knows anything about. The artwork is extremely superb! Layout for the CD artwork resembles a marble rolling or clothes in a washing machine. Or cartoonish rims on motorbike. The highlights for this EP are the artwork.
4/5****

Yacktown Boys Club - Shit Niggaz Don't Know single review
Yacktown Boys Club is a group of 2 rappers from Pontiac which is a suburb of Detroit. However the 2 rappers do the most in musical contributions. Yacktown Boys Club is also known as YTBC to the locals. Also Yacktown Boys Club was the first rap group to get national distribution via Urban Ventured Music (Scotti Bros.) and Disc Makers.
Summer Madness samples DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - Summer Time. Summer Madness is a classic rap track describing the festivities and activities that go on during the summer. Such as getting high and drunk, crusin', pinball games, cooking, and going to clubs. Activities for leisure time. All that good gangster ass shit! Coming from the YTBC! Summer Madness is a track full of pure G-Funk. Also with some rock. Summer Madness really all about the fun.
Lo-key is one gangster ass track on a thick high note saxophone. You will like the rock samples used on Lo-key. Who know what samples YTBC used?

Fishbone - Crazy Glue album review
Fishbone - Crazy Glue was released on DC-Jam Records in 2011 on CD. This Fishbone albumwas different than all the other Fishbone albums out there as this one was more overlooked than all of their other albums in terms of coverage by music critics. One would usually be expecting the typical 11 tracks on one album since that has been their typical format since the self-titled album dropped in 1978. But the EP only had 7 songs.
4/5****!

NBOH - 3 Wheelin’ single review
This cassette single was released in 1991 on Mobstyle Records from Riverside, California.
3 Wheelin' has that same sample that Mia X used for her song called Wanna Be With You in 1994 which is Minnie Riperton - Back Down Memory Lane. Not a Betty Wright sample as some people thought it was or would be. 3 Wheelin' is about a lowrider going in 3 wheel motion while riding down the street. A real brehsive gangsta ass track! The production was done by Mobstyle Records of course. The uncensored version is the shit. My Dawgz only appears on the 1992 version of the cassette single as a hidden track. G. Bubs, Cas-Loc, and Baldy Loc hit it hard.
5/5*****!

Qualoheem - Qualoheem album review
Qualoheem proves to be a tight album. It will remind you of the acid rap sound that Esham displays and that Chicago mobb rap sounds that are similar to ghetto tech. The instrumentals are off the hook. So is the song called Coco. Dig the drum beat. This cassette features Psycho Drama so that's a bonus! This is some real gangsta ass shit!
4/5****!
