Song Review-Money Counter by Two-9 produced by Charlie Heat
Song Review-Money Counter by Two-9 produced by Charlie Heat by Dan-O This whole who-killed-who-on-the-track way of thinking is post-Eminem v. Jay on Renegade(on The Blueprint). That’s not how we listened to rap music when real groups existed. To be honest my favorite groups were the ones where I never thought about whose verse I was…

Mixtape Review-Who Killed The Last Dragon? By INDEEDFACE produced by DJ Burn One & The Five Points Bakery by Dan-O If you are looking for the best produced mixtape of 2015 (to this date) look no further than Who Killed The Last Dragon? It’s the greatest return on investment any production mind has ever had.…

Song Review-Gone Girl by Vado produced by Deelockit313 & Mandalae Didd
Song Review-Gone Girl by Vado produced by Deelockit313 & Mandalae Didd by Dan-O I’ve always thought it was strange that the NY goon rappers of old would wear Godfather persona’s and lecture (or sometimes just shout) about respect and honor and loyalty, then snicker at how dirty they were doing the women they were dating.…

EP Review-Skate Life by Black Dave
EP Review-Skate Life by Black Dave by Dan-O New York is jam packed with “underground” artists. I throw quotations because some artists choose the stylistic definition of the word and some artists just don’t have what it takes for the spotlight (but really do yearn for it) and are still called underground. Is Rass Kass…

Song of The Year-Private Room by Niko Is produced by Thanks Joey or My Pitch for you to buy the Brutus LP
Song of The Year-Private Room by Niko Is produced by Thanks Joey or My Pitch for you to buy the Brutus LP by Dan-O In an ideal world I would go four thousand words deep on the Brutus LP. This being a free music based site I don’t think that would be right but…BUY Brutus.…

Mixtape retrospective: looking back on Drake’s So Far Gone
Mixtape retrospective: looking back on Drake’s So Far Gone by Dan-O So Far Gone is like a mixtape rubik’s cube. I keep picking it up and listening and getting confused; how do people like this? It seems needy and emotional but not thoughtful. Drake was constantly referencing women but not with any distinct intelligent things…

Song Review-The Devil is Alive (Lucifer pt. 2) by B. Dolan
Song Review-The Devil is Alive (Lucifer pt. 2) by B. Dolan by Dan-O On the original The Devil is a Lie (found on Ross’s 2014 album Mastermind) Jay-z and Ross take very different approaches. Jay’s verse is about how ridiculous it is to think of him as a devil worshiping illuminati official/evil genius, he makes the case…

Mixtape Review-No One Is Safe by Trinidad James
Mixtape Review-No One Is Safe by Trinidad James by Dan-O This mixtape is definitely an appetizer sampler of Atlanta hip hop circa 2014-15 but it’s so good it might ruin your meal. Six out of the ten total tracks share time with guest stars and the names are major: Scotty ATL, OG Maco, ILoveMakonnen, PeeWee…

Song Review-Shit by Lil Wayne
Song Review-Shit by Lil Wayne by Dan-O I like my Wayne desperate and angry. The difference between stagnant Wayne and enraged ,in the zone, Wayne is shockingly vast. On Sorry 4 The Wait 2 damn near every song references the fact that Cash Money is holding back The Carter 5. On this song alone he…

Mixtape Review-Beast Mode by Future x Zaytoven
Mixtape Review-Beast Mode by Future x Zaytoven by Dan-O I’m incorrect but I always think of Future as an amazing raw talent. The way basketball writers must have looked at Wilt Chamberlain. He’s not raw at all. The music always feels that way because of how he attacks it. A new project roll out for…
