Hustle Gang - G.D.O.D. (Mixtape Review)
Album Reviewsposted 6 days ago
T.I. wields a strong command over Hip Hop with "G.D.O.D.," shouldering the burden for a team who would otherwise be left to their own devices.

Talib Kweli - Prisoner Of Conscious
Album Reviewsposted 9 days ago
While Kweli is still both introspective and current at times, "Prisoner Of Conscious" is ultimately too formulaic to be considered as a superior album.
-
LL Cool J - Authentic
Album Reviewsposted 11 days ago
"Authentic" has the same flaws as LL's other late-career missteps. Too many features and a superficial brand of R&B bog down one of Rap's earliest superstars.
-
Havoc - 13
Album Reviewsposted 12 days ago
Havoc's "13" features some of his best production in years. But the monotony of the subject matter in his rhymes make this album solid but far from classic.

Wyclef Jean - April Showers
Album Reviewsposted 15 days ago
Over the course of 33 exhausting tracks, "April Showers" is Wyclef at his most self-important with an unfiltered ambition left to roam free.

Fertile Crescent is a dense, well-executed EP that celebrates Hip Hop's original creativity in Homeboy Sandman's own avant-garde fashion.
-
Snoop Dogg (aka Snoop Lion) - Reincarnated
Album Reviewsposted 25 days ago
Snoop's most powerful asset--his voice--is misappropriated throughout "Reincarnated," resulting in an album that is middling at best.
-
Wiz Khalifa & Curren$y - Live In Concert
Album Reviewsposted 26 days ago
Wiz and Curren$y aren't present for most of "Live In Concert," and when they are, it's not their best showing.
-

Album Reviewsposted 27 days ago
"Time Peace" is a solid (if not spectacular) listen that puts a premium on optimism and substance while showcasing the versatility of Mr. Tay & Spends Quality.
