Song Review-Marksmen by Roc Marciano featuring Ka produced by Arch Druids by Dan-O I don’t think any song on the new Joey Bada$$ album (All-Amerikkkan Bada$$) is as important as him going to Hot 97 and telling them NY radio hasn’t grown. He was correct but I would have changed the ageism laced in hisContinue reading “Song Review-Marksmen by Roc Marciano featuring Ka produced by Arch Druids”

Mixtape Review-All or Nothing: Live It Up by Lloyd Banks
Mixtape Review-All or Nothing: Live It Up by Lloyd Banks by Dan-O Hillary Clinton and Lloyd Banks are more similar than you might think.

Song of the year-Just by KA
Song of the year-Just by KA by Dan-O I wonder how hard most of the reviewers who now lavish praise on KA yearly work to understand what he is saying?

Mixtape Review-Drunk Uncle by N.O.R.E.
Mixtape Review-Drunk Uncle by N.O.R.E. by Dan-O I am a pretty passionate hip hop head. I hate pet peeve artists I’ve never met worse than family or friends that have slighted me, but I’ve never really had an opinion on N.O.R.E.

Song Review-R.I.P.C.D by Flatbush Zombies produced by Erick Arc Elliott
Song Review-R.I.P.C.D by Flatbush Zombies produced by Erick Arc Elliott by Dan-O The easiest way to gauge the dopeness level of 3001: A Laced Odyssey by the Flatbush Zombies is to pay attention to the interludes.

Song Review-Heard Dat by Smoke Dza produced by Harry Fraud
Song Review-Heard Dat by Smoke Dza produced by Harry Fraud by Dan-O When a sound is described as “nostalgic” no part of that is complimentary.

It gets tossedContinue reading “Song Review-Heard Dat by Smoke Dza produced by Harry Fraud”
Mixtape Review-White Christmas 3 by Troy Ave
Mixtape Review-White Christmas 3 by Troy Ave by Dan-O Troy Ave put out his Major Without A Deal album to the lowest sales numbers anyone could imagine.
