We Think We Alone-Deem Spencer Album Review pt.1 of 2
*Curse words and mention of losing a loved one* I've listened to this album sooo many times. I got into Deem Spencer's work when I saw the video and heard the song "Today, We Sat." I don't recall hearing anything before that song, so I believe I was just browsing through suggestions on Youtube and found that video, then went to his instagram...or I saw his Instagram page on the day he was talking about the video and checked it out. Regardless, it was the day it was released and I've been listening to his songs (and making vids about them) ever since. Here's me talking about the songs in order on the playlist and then giving them a 1-10 (10 being 'amazing') and where they fall for me (the best song, worse song etc.)

5 tracks to get ya into Isaiah Rashad
Free Lunch: "The trunk was full, the ride was long, the cop was cool, we smoked in peace" Produced by Cam O'bi What Rashad does really well is craft subtle but memorable hooks that seep into the the brain like maple syrup in pancakes or waffles and they haven't been touched for several minutes so the syrup blends in with the waffles to become one syrupy carbo loaded breakfast of mouthwatering proportions. Track three off of the critically lauded "The Sun's Tirade" is groovy cut. Upbeat production credits from the talented Cam O'bi, this rap song goes in about going out and getting it while the getting is good. Shad excels at providing introspective simple yet poignant lines for the vibers. A great track to bounce your head to on your way to the grind, whatever that may be to you.

The Top 5 Reasons Why Kendrick Lamar Does So Well

The Top 5 Reasons Why Missy Elliott Should NOT be Included in Best Ever Lists
Lil’ Wayne has remarked that Missy Elliott is his number artist in his best ever list. Though she may have spaced out lyrics and funky, spontaneous flows, Missy Elliott will forever be known for her boundary-pushing videos. Even with the words she puts down, they add up to very little in the way of true lyricism. Her talent lies in shock value and grabbing attention. That’s about it.

The 10 Best Female Rappers In K-Pop. Top Story - March 2022.
Rappers in K-pop often get a bad rap. From being called “sell outs” to not real rappers, many outsiders may believe that K-pop does not have any good rappers. Obviously, as you can likely guess from the title of this article, this is untrue.

RF: Mase Fires Blanks from a Machine Gun in New Diss Song Against Diddy
In totally unnecessary rap- diss- song news, Pastor Mason Betha decided to chide his former boss, Sean “Diddy” Combs. He blasts off rounds that seem to pierce through Diddy’s character-armor, but none of his bars relate to live rounds in the song "Oracle 2: Standing on Bodies."

Rap Albums from Underground artist in the month of February
February was a really slow month, sure a couple of albums were released by well-known artists and rappers but in the underground world most people (probably you) didn't know these two artists dropped their long-awaited album and I got to hear it more than two or three times and right now I am telling you this, so you would have the same opportunity to listen to these albums. and the details and rating given to the album is within my own personal decision and my personal opinion (want to make that clear to people who get offended by it)

Loving The Game
Today I had the pleasure of checking out the newly released song from D.A. (also known under the performance name of Most Official), entitled "Loving The Game." To understand the piece and the journey more completely, let me share a little about the artist. D.A. and I crossed paths on the 'gram, as with most musicians I connect with, and while talking about artist services, he shared his unique and incredible journey with his life's passion: music. D.A. is an independent artist from the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area of Minnesota with a long and impressive past in the industry. In 2008, as Most Official, he placed second out of over 30,000 entrants in the Loud.com competition, scored a record contract with SRC/Universal, eventually exited that contract, took a break from the business to pursue life, and is now back with a ton of head knowledge and more than an ounce of heart learning. As a seasoned hip-hop artist influenced by the heavy hitters and greats of the '90s, you'll hear that vibe, energy, and sound come through in all of his work. "Loving The Game" is no outlier from his signature, sharing a focused message that hip-hop is not dead.
