Young Gully-HM(Hustla Movement)5 mixtape review by Dan-O Talib Kweli did an NPR interview where he put Drake and Kendrick Lamar in the same category as rappers just talking about “sex, drinking, and partying” holding himself up as the single shining example of consciousness in hip hop. It was surprising cause Kweli has a great ear…

Song of the year-Future featuring Rocko-Chosen One
Song of the year-Future featuring Rocko-Chosen One by Dan-O It’s easy to hate the hottest artists. It’s like that commercial you love the first time and despise the 85th time. I totally get that. What shouldn’t get lost is the effort it takes to be everywhere, the talent it takes. This is certainly the case…

DB Tha General-I Should’ve Been Signed review
DB Tha General-I Should’ve Been Signed review by Dan-O It makes sense to get the negative stuff out of the way first when dealing with a mixtape like I Should’ve Been Signed. If its master of ceremonies DB Tha General was getting paid per B word and N word this project would be very lucrative.…

Jay Ant-Blue Money Mixtape Review

Song of the Year-Submarine Bass Face(Turn Me Up!) by Fresh Daily featuring Suede Jury and Melo X by Dan-O NY is so deep with talent that Fresh Daily might not register for everyone and while the converse sponsored mixtape(The Brooklyn Good Guy) this comes from is good, nothing on it is better than this. The…

I-20 The Amphetamine Manifesto Review
I-20 The Amphetamine Manifesto Review by Dan-O It must take a lot of gumption to be I-20. He’s released great mixtape after great mixtape while getting minimum coverage/buzz. The hip hop internet-verse is a place where a rapper who can’t rap but has a weird voice can become the darling of the scene. While going…

Jai Swift-Thoughts of an Agile Hustler Mixtape Review
Jai Swift-Thoughts of an Agile Hustler Mixtape Review by Dan-O I’m a sucker for muted street talk delivered confidently and nonchalantly especially in the current hip hop climate of yelling, singing, and out of control ad-libs.
