Artist Spotlight: Has-Lo

by Kevin April 24, 2011 Artist Spotlight

There are few artists that we’ve continued to support here at KN since the site’s inception almost 4 years ago. Philly emcee/producer Has-Lo just happens to be one of them. I personally dug Has-Lo’s talents so much, that I gave him a brief stint on HiPNOTT. But when rising indie label Mello Music Group came [...]

Fabolous: The S.O.U.L. Tape [Mixtape]

by Thomas April 23, 2011 Hot Download

Fabolous is hit or miss for me at times, but he hits the mark on this one. Fab provides some dope raps over “soul inspired” instrumentals. Rap’s Vince Carter comes through this go around. Tracklist, features, and link underneath.

Stalley: Lincoln Way Nights (Remix) (feat. Rick Ross)

by Thomas April 23, 2011 Singles

Rick Ross has aligned himself with another inta-net favorite by signing Ohio MC Stalley to his Maybach Music Group label. And on cue with that signing they release a remix to the title track of Stalley‘s recently released free album, Lincoln Way Nights (Intelligent Trunk Music). So by my count Ricky has not only signed [...]

by Thomas April 23, 2011 Singles

New music from T3 with Young RJ on the production. Maybe this is a sign of things to come….solo from T3?

Louie P. Newton: Here For A Reason

by Thomas April 23, 2011 Albums Worth Checking

Detroit MC Louie P. Newton FINALLY releases his debut project/album, Here For A Reason. The project has been a most anticipated project (by me) and a long time coming since we first debut the project’s first leak, “The Bottom.” Peep what Newton has to say about the project. If “HFAH” isn’t highly anticipated it is [...]

100dBs: 40 Minutes To Freedom [The Sublime Mix]

by Kevin April 22, 2011 Mixtapes

My man 100dBs always comes correct with the mixes. This one’s fun to listen to… something to open your mind up and smoke or drink to tonight: It’s been nearly twenty years since Sublime sampled the Minutemen declaring “punk rock changed our lives” on its debut album 40 Oz. to Freedom. Looking back, the same [...]

Taj Torrence: High Standards [Music Video]

by Kevin April 22, 2011 Music Videos

This video caught my attention from the Stevie Wonder sampled production. Here’s the KN debut from Mansfield, OH emcee/producer Taj Torrence. He says he’s 18… but I don’t know. Maybe this video was done 5 years ago lol. Respect to him though, this joint is dope. Off his new mixtape (which I’ve yet to check), [...]

Gee Dubs: Pullover [Music Video]

by Kevin April 22, 2011 Music Videos

Not bad… not bad… it takes about a minute and twenty to get into the track and it plays like an ode to Jay’s “99 Problems”, but I’d be willing to hear more from Gee Dubs. Off his upcoming EP, Preface to Disaster, “Pullover” was produced and directed by Mike Chops.

Crooked Lettaz: Grey Skies (The Documentary) Pt. 1

by Justin April 22, 2011 Around The Net

Street Official TV put together this great documentary looking back on the classic Crooked Lettaz album Grey Skies. In part one, we hear what Kamikaze & David Banner’s debut meant to a variety of current artists. Grey Skies is one of my top 10 albums of all-time and it’s great to see how much clout it still holds today.
