Editors' Review:
Emcees are closely related to poets, obviously--but Longshot is closer than most. The published bard brings an extra-keen sense of wordplay to his conscious flows. We do hope he keeps recording, thoug... more »

Editors' Review:
For his new "Mooga" project, 40 Cal made shrewd use of hip-hop's increasingly legit community of online beatsmiths. Tired of waiting on his Dipset crew, he built a record out of no-name beats, trustin... more »

Editors' Review:
"Where Brooklyn at?" Well, depends on the year. The famous hip-hop query has seen a slew of answers--not all of them good--but this 718 trio gives a reason to get excited. On debut LP "Bored of Educat... more »

The merits of the editing system "Pro Tools" are often questioned in the biz. You'll find significantly less debate over the Wu-Tang man's new set of the same name. "Tools" runs on the far-out lyrics ... more »

There's no such thing as a day off for the modern rapper. Even between LPs, he or she best fan the flames with mixtapes. So Joe Budden hasn't quite been gone, but his "Padded Room" set brings him back... more »

Just how clever are Rock and Ruck? Try this dis: "You beefin' but you vegan when it's time to cook." "D.I.R.T." is full of clever kiss-offs (only some of which slight vegetarianism). Mixed with bouncy... more »

GTA has gotten so lifelike, it even has its own radio station--and that station's star artist is no video game construction. DJ Green Lantern is quite real, and a dropper of vivid urban beatscapes. On... more »

The DNA results are in, and they're conclusive: the 16 tracks of "Cold Case Files" could belong to no-one but Onyx. A collection of previously unreleased material, "CCF" reminds us why the group once ... more »

Hip-hop has a long and complicated history with racially charged terms. The debate over their appropriateness in music is often glossed over, but AZ's new disc, "N.4.L.," is all about opening the floo... more »
