Boaz Excels With Real Street Rhymes On Album Debut ‘Intuition’
For Pittsburgh native Boaz, a partnership with Rostrum Records creates some assumptions. Fans who are not yet familiar with his sound may well assume that his new album, Intuition, will sound like Rolling Papers or Blue Slide Park, the crossover friendly, hit-filled albums that helped put Wiz Khalifa, Mac Miller, and Rostrum on the map...

G-Eazy Pushes Genre Barriers On ‘These Things Happen’
On G-Eazy’s “Almost Famous,” the 25-year-old Bay Area MC raps, “So if you don’t fuck with me I’m OK with that.” What might at first seem like just another line reads as more of a mantra after listening to These Things Happen, which may inspire admiration in some of the newer segments of hip-hop’s ever growing audience and indifference or even distaste in the more traditional areas of the genre’s f

We've unhappily watched many former stars fall on hard times, and while some find ways to resurrect their careers, others never bounce back. Juvenile’s The Fundamentals is an unfortunately flawed attempt to break out of a deepening rut by a legendary artist who’s lost his way. Juvenile has ...

9th Wonder And Co. Bring Laid-Back Soundscapes On ‘Jamla Is The Squad’
It’s usually tough to dominate an album if you don’t utter a word, but 9th Wonder managed to do just that. His production takes top billing on almost every one of the 25-tracks on 9th Wonder Presents: Jamla Is The Squad. Each beat is seemingly better than the last and choosing a favorite instrumental on the project is next to impossible. It gives a...
