ALBUM REVIEW: Eminem - Curtain CallTo be honest - not worth the money for die-hard fans of Eminem, though casual listeners may like the idea of having all the talked about tracks in one place.
-
Interview with Mr Long - One Half of Legendary Hiphop Group, Black SheepMr Long from Black Sheep talks about his own solo album, the new Black Sheep album, and the disbanding of one of Hiphop's legendary crews. -
Album Review: Dilated Peoples - Expansion TeamThere's a lot of hype surrounding the release of this Dilated album. People seem to be viewing DP as the great saviours of real hiphop, which has supposedly become increasingly bogged down and drowned out in a sea of jiggyness.
-
Album Review: De La Soul - AOI BionixWith the criticism of the first AOI installment still fresh in most people's minds, its time to see if De La will again "reinvent" themselves, or whether their legendary status is in danger of being spoiled...
-
Album Review: Craig G - This is Now!!!You have to feel a little sorry for Craig G. The former Juice Crew member never really got the props or success that his compatriots from Marley Marl's House of Hits had heaped on their heads.
-
Album Review: Chingy - JackpotUnless you were on a different planet a couple of years ago, you'll remember that Chingy's 'Right Thurr' was one of the jams of the summer...

Chester Copperpot - Chapter 7 EP: Underground Chicago Emcee / Producer Impresses with Sparkling DebutChester Copperpot's credit history may be in question, but his skills as a beatmaker and an emcee certainly are not. Teaming up with UK artist Braintax amongst others, he has produced a superb slice of Hiphop.
-
Braintax - Biro Funk: Low Life Founder Puts His Pad and Pen to Great UseBraintax's work on the boards matches the quality of his lyrical delivery. September 11th and the war in Afghanistan are just two of the topics addressed with skilful examination, resulting in a very thought-provoking album.
-
Beeda Weeda - Turfology 101Beeda Weeda is down with Hiero, but don't expect an underground flavor here - he delivers straight up gangsta tales of street strife over a variety of tracks, including the Hyphy sound of the moment. -
Choobakka - My Time: Spanish Speaking Emcee's First Outing on Big Daddy Records is a LetdownChoobakka hails from Brooklyn, but attempts a variety of styles on "My Time", his debut album on Big Daddy. Unfortunately he doesn't pull many of them off that well, resulting in an average album with no long-term playability.
-
Cassidy - Split Personality: Lazy Debut from Philly Youngster Leaves Listeners Feeling CheatedCassidy gained famed before his deal for battling Freeway to a standstill. As Hiphop fans know though, being a great battle rhymer does not automatically turn you into a great album maker. Cassidy provides proof of this on "Split Personality".
-
BK's Beats Show Outstanding Talent Matched for the Most Part by the Rest of the Uprok LabelChristian Hiphop label Uprok continue to impress, and go from strength to strength. BK's production work sparkles and the lyrical delivery from the Uprok family is as impressive as any major-label release you're likely to hear.
-
The Beatnuts - Milk MeShifting from Loud Records after its collapse to the smaller indie Penalty Recordings has certainly allowed the Nuts even more creative freedom on this album - chockful of crude jokes, and humorous genital references, "Milk Me" is instantly likeable.
-
Angie Martinez - Up Close and Personal: Hot 97 DJ's Debut is Surprisingly ListenableAngie Martinez reps both New York and her Latino roots to the fullest on her debut album, which features beats from Cool & Dre, Salaam Remi and others. Hot 97's premier female DJ has a debut album to be proud of.
-
Dan the Automator - Nathanial Merriweather Presents... Lovage - Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady ByDan The Automator takes time out from his Deltron projects to go all 'quiet storm' on us - with immensely satisfying results. This album features appearances from Faith No More's Mike Patton, Afrika Bambaataa, Prince Paul, De La Soul and more.
-
Angie Martinez - Animal House: Sophomore Album Fails to Match the Quality of Her Initial OutingAngie Martinez' second album Animal House picks up where her debut left off. Unfortunately her production team of the same name don't come through the way Cool & Dre and the Neptunes did on album one.
-
Alexipharmic - Run: An Admirable Attempt to Help Those Less Fortunate Than Ourselves Through HiphopAlexipharmic's underground Hiphop is enjoyable in places, and excrutiating in others. But his heart's in the right place, and his pledge to 'change the world for the better through music' is one which must be applauded.
-
Athletic Mic League - Jungle Gym Jungle: A Mis-step for the Michigan Group, Compared to Their Earlier Sweats & KicksThe Arbor, Michigan group leave the listener more than a little disappointed on this, their followup to 2002's Sweats & Kicks, which features less boom-bap and more lightweight production work.
-
3582 - the Living Soul EPJ.Rawls and J.Sands team up to deliver some amazing Hiphop tracks. Vintage Native Tongues-style beats and rhymes provide some beautiful headphone moments.
-
Count Bass D - Act Your Waist SizeOne of the most eagerly anticipated albums of 2006, Count Bass D's "Act Your Waist Size" drops on Fat Beats on October 17th - a date marked in many Hiphop fans' calenders since mid-summer. It turns out that this album has been worth the wait!
-
De La Soul: AOI BionixDe La's second installment in the 3 part AOI series is almost as bad as the first - a total departure not just from any kind of previous De La sound, but also from the ethos which the group rolled with.
-
Count Bass D - BegBorrowSteelNashville's Count Bass D returns with a darker follow up to the 2002 classic "Dwight Spitz" - but this new outing in EP form retains the high quality feel of its predecessor. Another 'must-have' for fans of quality underground Hiphop.
-
Clipse - Lord Willin'A strong debut album backed by Neptunes production - cleverly disguised drug tales and gangsta imagery are laid over some of the best tracks that Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo have ever made.
-
Count Bass D - Dwigh SpitzCount Bass D's classic 2002 album is one of the greatest moments in Hiphop history. Armed with an MPC and a handful of records, the Nashville native has produced a stunning piece of work that's still flying under people's radars to this day.
-
Cypress Hill - Greatest Hits from the BongA lazy compilation of Cypress Hill's work which doesn't do the group nearly enough justice. There's nothing here to make this work picking up for the average fan - stick to the original albums on Ebay.
