Curren$y And Smoke DZA Stay In Their Lane With ‘The Stage’ Mixtape
The Jet-Life movement has been quietly on fire in the past year. Curren$y has been on a tear since the release of his album, dropping EP’s left and right, while Smoke DZA's fan base continues to expand at a rapid pace following the release of K.O.N.Y...

Action Bronson And Party Supplies Make Magic Again On ‘Blue Chips 2′ Mixtape
In an age of Internet transparency, constructing a creative narrative has almost replaced projecting authenticity as a viable marketing strategy. Action Bronson is possibly the most eccentric character navigating rap these days, and his appeal lies mostly within the minute details of an absurd, carefully crafted, larger-than-life persona...

MellowHigh Gets A Little Too Mellow On Self-Titled Album
Who is MellowHigh? Easy enough: It’s the not-that-new combination of producer/rapper duo Left Brain and Hodgy Beats with an always game Domo Genesis. But really, who is MellowHigh? We know what they were a few years back. Domo Genesis played the entertaining, but not all that impressive smoker on his 2010 mixtape Rolling Papers, while MellowHype had their agenda laid out on 2010's haunting Blacken
Starlito And Don Trip Balance Pleasure And Pain On ‘Step Brothers 2′
For a rapper that was Cash Money-affiliated at one point (Starlito) and another who had a hit song with Cee-Lo that led to an Interscope deal (Don Trip), you’d think the pair's new project would be a bigger deal to more people than it is. In t...

Nipsey Hussle Shows What He’s Worth On His ‘Crenshaw’ Mixtape
There are reasons to hate on Nipsey Hussle at this point. He’s charging c-notes for his latest tape, Crenshaw, which you can just as easily get for free. He hasn’t released an official project since 2011, besides X-Tra Laps, which was a different set of rejects for his TMC project. He’s shown...

Cam’Ron Makes A Case For His Legacy On ‘Ghetto Heaven Vol. 1′ Mixtape
Before A$AP Rocky and his A$AP Mob, Cam’Ron and the Diplomats ruled Harlem. Cam’s charisma, style, and wit made him one of hip-hop’s most compelling figures in the 2000s. However, in the last few years, Cam’ron’s momentum has cooled down significantly. His last solo project, Crime...
