Sites not as active as some of the other forums I visit but the knowledge of the posters can't be matched. Also, Phila is constantly ahead of the curve. First place I saw with significant chatter and dedicated followings for Roc, Ka, WSG, Mach Hommy, Lil Ugly Mane, Woods, Exquire, etc. Forum certain...

Not a huge Skyzoo fan, but he's got a collab album coming out with Pete Rock next month. Two of them put a banger out yesterday. Apparently an old beat PR had. 3CwKesc0lao 1. Men Like Us 2. Glorious 3. Truck Jewels ft. Pete Rock 4. Carry Tradition ft. Style P 5. Homegrown 6. It's All Good 7. Ten Day...

Could be, not sure the details. Looked maybe like Shady is distribution while RN is management but not really in tune with how that all works.

Looks like they signed some type of deal with Roc Nation. WSG & Benny were in the studio with Jay earlier and it looked like Way was in the studio with Kanye separately.

Dude is perpetually better in theory than in practice. The idea of NY rapper like him, an artist bridging the gap between now and late 90s/early 00s underground, is great but the music he puts out only lives up to the idea sporadically. Overall, I'd agree. This, like the rest of his albums, does ha...

Know it came and went on here, but the beats on this are very strong. Superior to Supreme Blientele in my opinion. Worth a listen for that alone. Surprised Gibbs let that Gunnlib beat slip away.

Weak verse from Conway. Average beat from Daringer. Em's verse was wack. Hard to say it's a huge let down given how low expectations were going in.

Hopefully that's coming before year end.

Not sure that's a new picture but agreed on their intentions behind the statement.

Pinata for me was all brilliant singles with much less interesting album cuts, I expected an album full of songs like Thuggin and it didn't live up to that. Bandana feels more even throughout. Most definitely agree on the cohesiveness, but not sure anything on here is to the level of the top songs ...

I'm not really a fan either, even now. Still, will check anything related to Madlib.

Album of the year for me thus far. Don't see it as a classic, though I thought it had the potential to be based on its rollout. Still, a great album. Pretty cool how both Madlib & Muggs, who are around 50, are still experimenting with their sound. Also, enjoyed how Gibbs kept his content pretty topi...

Actually preferred this to Benny's tape. While it's frustratingly short and there's too much Fahim, it's still quality. Particularly Mozambique Drill. Also, disagree with the overall sentiment against Kill Em All. While all the Muggs collabs are essentially EP's, I feel this can stand against any of...

What's leaked thus far.

New album due out in August. Not a collab or side project. Supposed to be a real solo from him.

Still getting through Plugs I Met but hasn't hit as hard as I expected it to off the tracklist. Also, he mixed his vocals like shit on it.

He worked with RZA during that time frame? Don't remember hearing about that over the years.

Off the bat, I actually don't think I've heard any of these.

They all have some redeeming qualities; Daringer and Camino included. Agree that Benny's the top draw, but think they'll all be on the scene for a while. Gunn has already been pretty relevant within the underground for nearly 5 years.

Leaked.

Any idea whose funeral that is on the back?

Figured you'd mention that. Sure you saw, he's got a feature coming up next week on the Gibbs Madlib album too.

New EP out called Wap Konn Joj!. It's on Apple music. Features by Quelle, Fahim, Droog, & Earl. Not sure about the production. https://music.apple.com/us/album/wap-konn-j%C3%B2j/1466887058 Also, another interview with that guy he did one a few years ago with. https://soundcloud.com/casadelowrey/tea-...
