As creative as hip-hop is in the present era of the genre, it seems to not stride away from reality into the supernatural. Deltron 3030 was an underground group that went where nobody had gone before in rap as well as in music in general. The group consists of the two producers Kid Koala and [...]

In a world where hip-hop is slowly shifting into a number of different newly forming genres of music, not many artists are effectively moving into the rock-rap genre. Lil’ Wayne’s rock music is definitely not his strong-suit, Run-DMC did their thing back in the day, but it was more of a marketing move then anything [...]

Cruisin through my iTunes library I came across the beast himself: C-Rayz Walz. Who is C-Rayz you ask? Many remember him as that MTV made coach who helped a kid who called himself “The Blizzard” become more blizzardly.

Here’s the most talked about cypher from last night’s BET awards. All three of these lyrical masterminds go in hard.
