What Happend to Chi Ali?

In the early 90′s Chi Ali was a member of the legendary Native Tongues crew at the young age of fourteen. He released a solo album called ‘The Fabulous Chi-Ali’, in my opinion it had some classic material on it (check Age Ain’t Nothing But a # after the jump), but after that Chi Ali [...]

Black Milk is Deadly!

Black Milk’s new video Deadly Medley reminds me of a Detroit version of the 2010 Miami Heat, three superstars sharing the spotlight but each ready to take over the game at a seconds notice.

The Roots “How I Got Over”

This is the new video and title track for the Roots upcoming album.
