Onyx is hardcore hip hop group from South Jamaica, Queens, New York. The group consists of East Coast rappers Sticky Fingaz, Fredro Starr and Sonny Seeza. They were one of the biggest hip-hop groups of the year back in 1993 when they had a massive hit called “Slam” from their album Bacdafucup. The song was…

Angel Haze has built up a strong following during the past four years by releasing one fantastic mixtape after another, the best being Classick and Reservation. The only trouble with becoming mixtape-famous is that the people who become your fans like to feel as though they’re the only ones who know about you. They enjoy being…

Danny Brown is 32. To many of his potential fans, that might sound old. To me, well, it actually sounds pretty young. I’ve been doing entertainment journalism on and off for 15 years. And I didn’t start when I was two years old. So, you might assume that I’m older than Danny. And you’d be…

I know some of my readers will scoff at me for even reviewing this one, but the fact of the matter is that it’s one of the most highly-anticipated albums of the year, pop or otherwise, which is what prompted me to listen to the stream, not the starlet’s controversial and certainly disgusting behavior of…

As someone who’s seen every episode of Degrassi: The Next Generation, it was hard for me to take Drake seriously as a rapper at first. I did like his mixtapes, but it was difficult to listen to them and not think of poor Jimmy from Degrassi, who was shot and wound up in a wheelchair…

Magic is a rapper hailing from “the DMV” (Washington D.C.) and he’s quite the talented guy. His beats remind me of old House of Pain and Cypress Hill.

Music always plays a major role in Baz Luhrmann’s films. The soundtracks for Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge are two of the biggest-selling soundtracks of all time and they are masterpieces. For the soundtrack for his adaptation of The Great Gatsby, he sought out Jay Z and entrusted him to find songs that would…

“Everybody have fun tonight, everybody have fun tonight,” will.i.am sings during “Hello,” the first track on his fourth solo album, #willpower. If that sounds boring and uninspired, well, welcome to a whole album of boring and uninspired anthems. I’m talking about songs so horrifyingly bad that they make even the worst songs he’s done with…

When I first read the tracklisting for this album I thought that it had to be a mixtape, that Big Boi was sampling the likes of Phantogram, Little Dragon and Wavves. After all, it would be very unusual for a hip-hop artist to actually collaborate with any of these artists. But, I was wrong. Turns…
