Gift of Gab, best known as the MC in the duo Blackalicious, is set to release his first solo album in five years, which is rather infrequent for someone who calls himself Gift of Gab... I'm just saying. Escape 2 Mars, the follow-up to 2004's 4th Dimensional Rocketships Going Up, is mostly produced by DNAEBEATS, with a few songs by Hednodic of The Mighty Underdogs, plus guest spots from Del The ...
I've long been a fan of Blackalicious - Nia, Blazing Arrow, and The Craft are still some of my favorite nerdrap albums (although not in that order). I was never totally impressed with Blackalicious' frontman Gift of Gab's solo projects, however. They lacked the freshness, the unique style that Blackalicious created as a group.Recently, though, I happened upon a track from Gift of Gab's upcoming...

While some of the beats leave a little more to be desired - most apparent on t...
When I was in 6th grade I bought four albums that would change my life. They were the first hip-hop records I ever bought, and two of them were by Blackalicious. I've listened to a lot more music since then. Some is better, some is worse, but regardless of where Blackalicious stands in the pantheon of great artists, they will always hold a special place in my heart as the ones that got me hooke...
My introduction to hip hop wasn't Jay-Z or DMX. I suppose you could argue that it was the Beastie Boys (after all, what white suburban kid wasn't introduced to rap by Licensed to Ill?) but I'd go a couple years later to another influence. Because it wasn't until I heard Blackalicious that I really began to love hip hop. Blackalicious is a duo made up of emcee Gift of Gab and DJ Chief Excel. On ..
