Song Review-Figure It Out by Wiz Khalifa produced by Sledgren & Cookin’ Soul
Song Review-Figure It Out by Wiz Khalifa produced by Sledgren & Cookin’ Soul by Dan-O I love Wiz Khalifa’s first album Show and Prove released in 2006.

ByContinue reading “Song Review-Figure It Out by Wiz Khalifa produced by Sledgren & Cookin’ Soul”

Mixtape Review-The Owners Manual by Curren$y
Mixtape Review-The Owners Manual by Curren$y by Dan-O It has not been easy to review mixtapes lately. While a lot of people are pleased as punch to see the upcoming on datpiff become available a lot of it sounds the same. Putting together daily playlists of new mixtapes I have more often than ever hadContinue reading “Mixtape Review-The Owners Manual by Curren$y”
Mixtape Review-Capolavoro by Fiend
Mixtape Review-Capolavoro by Fiend by Dan-O If someone asked me why I love Fiends music so much I would be forced to flip the question. How could you not? If you hate Southern rap because you can’t forage through the heavy drawl of artists like Big KRIT you don’t need to worry about that. DoContinue reading “Mixtape Review-Capolavoro by Fiend”
Mixtape Review-Route the Ruler by Young Roddy
Mixtape Review-Route the Ruler by Young Roddy by Dan-O Rappers always want to join prestigious crews but imagine the reality of it. You run with the Jet Life crew underneath the guidance of Curren$y who has been making music so long he was signed to Moses (and dope back then).

Free EP Review- The Stage by Curren$y & Smoke Dza produced by Harry Fraud by Dan-O As a supporter of the Jet Life movement I’ve always been realistic.

SometimesContinue reading “Free EP Review- The Stage by Curren$y & Smoke Dza produced by Harry Fraud”

Curren$y-New Jet City review
Curren$y-New Jet City review by Dan-O So many rappers have claimed a link between their lyrics and the novels of Donald Goines. I don’t think any of them do it as a shallow reputation boost, Goines is still the biggest selling African American author in history…a jailed genius who spun ghetto landscape into Shakespearean tragedy.Continue reading “Curren$y-New Jet City review”
Smoke Dza-KONY review
Smoke Dza-KONY review by Dan-O Seeing Smoke Dza live is one of my most unforgettable concert experiences. It was a few years ago and he was opening for Curren$y, Fiend and the Jet Life crew. At that time I had him pegged as a weirdo, a NY rapper with a strange southern delivery who neverContinue reading “Smoke Dza-KONY review”
