One thing that I love more than dropping a new sample set on you guys, is dropping an exclusive album release. A few months ago, we brought you the premiere of Spectac & 9th Wonder’s Corner of Spec & 9th. Now, thanks to my man MIDI Marc, we have another exclusive for you — N’Telligence’s […]

New York emcee Don Cerino is one of hip hop’s new rising stars. With confidence that some may call cockiness, Cerino has a swagger to him that says, “why don’t you know who the fuck I am?”. A confident swagger and a knife cutting flow is all this young emcee needs to put his mark […]

Yeah I know this is a shameless plug, but it’s my web site dammit! I sat down a couple of months ago with emcee /journalist Cee-For for an interview; not on Cee, but on ME. I know, weird huh? Anyway, the article turned out great and was posted this morning on GrooveOn.com.au, […]

Yo, so we’ve featured this cat Trav Williams on the site a couple of times these past few weeks. First we offered his album, The Trickle Down, up for download; then my man Deez gave his take on the album. Well now we’ve had the opportunity to sit down with Trav and get […]

Most of the interviews on this site are usually with artists/producers either in the biz or coming up in the biz. This one here is a little bit different, but equally entertaining. For the past few months, myself, Thomas, Ivan, Goon, John Q, Bulldog, and others have been digging for samples used in […]

In cooperation with LiveFromTheFrontline.com, This Is Hip Hop presents this dope interview with up-and-coming emcee, Donny Goines.

At the beginning of this year, the hottest topic on this site and around the net was the American Gangster remixes. In case you were living in a box around December/January, Jay-Z released the acapellas to his latest album American Gangster. Much like the remix frenzy that started with The Black Album, DJs, […]

I’ve said it before, that I’m mostly a beat man and rarely listen to the voice behind the mic. But on a few occasions there will be an emcee that gets my attention and Big Hodge out of South Carolina got my ears ringing.
Big Hodge is straight raw talent. Growing up between Brooklyn, […]

Most of you may know DJ Chong Wizard from his American Ironman mixtape that he dropped at the beginning of the year. Well, this Canadian DJ has been tearing up the mixtape game for quite some time now and I felt it was time for all of us to get to know the man behind […]

One of the great things that I have come to appreciate with the Internet is the ability to hear great music that you would not normally have known about and meeting new people that share those musical interests in common with you. This last month was the perfect example of that for me.
A few […]

You all may remember a video I posted about a week ago from this up and coming artist out of Tennessee named CP. Well, I had the opportunity of getting an interview with him earlier this week.
This Tennessee rapper/producer who originally hails from New Jersey is one of the most humblest, sincerest persons I’ve […]

For my first Producer’s Spotlight of 2008, I wanted to bring some attention to my man MIDIMarc, who recently released an outstanding rendition of American Gangster, entitled American Beatmaker. This year, one of the goals I have for this blog is to help gain some exposure for the producers and emcees who work hard […]
