Intoxicated Demons: Original Samples

by Thomas April 21, 2009 Diggin' In Da Crates

Intoxicated Demons dropped in May 1993 and was an instant hit fueled by the singles “Reign of the Tec” and “No Equal.” Production wise the set includes classic breaks, hip hop tracks, and plenty of Jazz records. I’m not sure why, but JuJu and Psycho Les are extremely unrated behind the boards. Big props goes [...]

Classified: Self-Explanatory

by Addi "Mindbender" Stewart April 21, 2009 Music Reviews

It’s a brand fucking new day in hip hop, both Canadian and across the world. Veteran Halifax rapper/producer Classified has released Self-Explanatory, one of the best, most cohesive, thoughtful, and well-crafted Canadian hip hop albums in years. With the abhorrent proliferation of Auto-tune-tainted, money/hustler/make it rain/trap rap, the near demise of “abstract, backpack rap” (damn [...]

by Sean Deez April 20, 2009 Music Reviews

Whether it was being helmed as one of the Top 10 Freshmen for 2009 by XXL or The Greenhouse Effect mixtape, Asher was having a tough time fighting off the “Wannabe Eminem” label. I mean, sure, he’s white, and he’s a rapper, so why not right? Well, like Eminem, he’s very skillful and he’s got [...]

by Arasia Magnetic April 19, 2009 Music Reviews

We all know who Jadakiss is. We know his story, his lyrical skill and we can recognize his signature laugh as it blares through our speakers.
