Classic Relisten: The Albert Anastasia EP by Rick Ross
Classic Relisten: The Albert Anastasia EP by Rick Ross by Dan-O I know some very intelligent hip hop fans that can’t comprehend what makes Rick Ross so darn popular. They see the cartoonish imagery of a man wearing a gold medallion of his own face, making up mob stories and passing them all off as…

From The Inbox…
From The Inbox… by Dan-O We get some very interesting submissions at Freemusicempire (email freemusicempire@yandex.com). It’s horribly difficult for the submitter because the only promise we make is that what you send will be listened too. If it’s ok it won’t be reviewed, no one wants to read about your ok music. I don’t want…

Mixtape Review-Lit Forever II by Nick Jame$
Mixtape Review-Lit Forever II by Nick Jame$ by Dan-O Thizzler.com has become more than a website that posts music. It’s a brand of music. Look no further for evidence of this than Nick Jame$-Lit Forever II mixtape. While Thizzler posts all manner of bay area slap they control a great deal of it, naming freshman…

Song review-Sittin On It by Jose Guapo featuring Young Thug & Pee Wee Longway produced by YDG
Song review-Sittin On It by Jose Guapo featuring Young Thug & Pee Wee Longway produced by YDG by Dan-O After the first session I felt like this song gave me internal bleeding it sucks so much. This is off of Jose Guapo’s new mixtape Jose’s World 2 which somehow beat out Chief Keef’s mumbled opus…

Mixtape Review-Good Nights & Bad Mornings 2: The Hangover by Snow Tha Product
Mixtape Review-Good Nights & Bad Mornings 2: The Hangover by Snow Tha Product by Dan-O Hip Hop’s enduring appeal is one of perspective, that no matter how similar songs can seem as the same producers or production styles circulate, some kid comes out of nowhere with a way of thinking and spitting that adds a…

Song Review-Lovely Day by Vic Mensa produced by Vic Mensa and Peter Cottontale
Song Review-Lovely Day by Vic Mensa produced by Vic Mensa and Peter Cottontale by Dan-O Anyone can be guilty of thinking too hard. When Vic Mensa dropped INNANETAPE I was excited to listen. This is someone who was burning up guest verses all over the place. It turns out that its fun with great production…

Mixtape Review-Ghetto Heaven by Cam’ron
Mixtape Review-Ghetto Heaven by Cam’ron by Dan-O Every year a mixtape comes out that defines head scratching fascination, full of the kind of mind numbing juxtaposition you’d never expect. Last year it was Shyne with a paranoid illuminati laden mob mixtape(https://freemusicempire.com/2012/10/30/shyne-gangland-mixtape-review/) delivered in cracked out Muppet voice. It was just as weird as that description…

Song of The Year-Sadderdaze by CJ Fly featuring Ab-Soul produced by BrandUn DeShay by Dan-O If you told me at the beginning of the year that CJ Fly would put out a mixtape (Thee Way Eye See It) so considerably better than the one Joey Bad@$$ would put out (Summer Knights) that it would feel…

Mixtape Review-Dreamchasers 3 by Meek Mill
Mixtape Review-Dreamchasers 3 by Meek Mill by Dan-O The Dreamchasers series of mixtapes have all seemed like big screen blockbusters that almost hit the mark. Something like the Oceans series with stars everywhere, slick lush backdrops but something missing. That something in my eyes was always cohesion. You could mark out the first two Dreamchasers…

Song Review-Humility by Jai Swift (produced by Jai Swift)
Song Review-Humility by Jai Swift (produced by Jai Swift) by Dan-O The bay area is a wildly contradictory and silly place. Every track seems to have more guests than could fit into the Scooby Doo Mystery Machine and somehow while everyone is featuring on everything, everyone is beefing with everyone else. So track lists are…
