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 [...]

A Tribe Called Quest Documentary

A Tribe Called Quest Documentary

In 2008 Q-Tip, Phife, Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Jarobi reunited as A Tribe Called Quest after a long breakup for the Rock The Bells Tour. Actor turned director Mike Rapaport most famous (at least in my mind) as Remy in the 1995 flick Higher Learning, and his team followed the Tribe and caught some of [...]

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. It’s good to see that they haven’t abandoned making gritty records while providing the backing music for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

J.Rocc Droppin' Science

For me this MixTape is probably a year old, but the music and breaks are timeless. J.Rocc was granted access to Blue Notes Sample Library to make this MixTape that is not big on tricks, scratching or blends. J.rocc just presents these classic jazz cuts with some Hip Hop flavor. J.Rocc is the founding member [...]
