The Gift of Gab has mad skills with the pen and the pad and on "4th Dimensional Rockets Going Up":http://www.thestore24.com/Music/Album.aspx?p_id=P+++469569&a_id=R+++680166&PersonID=P%20%20%20469569&prodid=QUNP80701.2&si=rhino, he wriggles his flowing prose through jams like "Way of Life," "Flashback," and "Ride On." While some of the beats leave a little more to be desired - most apparent on t...

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 ..

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...

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 ...

They say that in the Bay they do things a little different, and if you need proof that the saying’s true you need look no further than Northern California, an area overflowing with creative emcees, including the always swift-tongued Gift of Gab - who’s deservedly making his debut on DJBooth with his new cut Dreamin’. Over an appropriately dreamlike beat from Headnodic (of the Crown City crew

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...

New shit from Gift of Gab! Here's some info:Gift of Gab, best known as the technically adept of the vaunted Blackalicious, knew that after waiting over five years for a follow-up solo release that he would have to really take this one far.
