MaG – I Ain’t Goin’ Back to Retail! MaG – I Ain’t Goin’ Back to Retail!

I think even my late pass expired on this one. I just received this in my inbox from the homie MaG, and I’ve heard his name circulating but I just now took a listen for the first time. So far I do not want to press next and I am about halfway through the album, that says a lot these days, real talk. I am feeling this, and the production is definitely... [Read more of this review]


Cold Legistics – Northern Star (Instrumental Album) Cold Legistics – Northern Star (Instrumental Album)

Are you looking for something soothing, while breaking your neck? I didn’t think that was a possible combination until I heard this project.

So far this tape has a very fluid landscape, it’s not scattered beats thrown together, each track works appropriately in its respective spot. These joints rock!  Read More →

I find that to be fascinating and mad cool for the fact that they are expanding their scope of influences to make groundbreaking... [Read more of this review]


DJ Premier x Nike Air Force I DJ Premier x Nike Air Force I

These are ill, and for the record I do not own one pair of air force ones. I was never that into the style or the cut of the shoe, but I think a lot of Premo fans will dig this and cop them for the exclusive collector’s item that they are.
