3rd project from the LA trio. These guys consistently put out solid material and have a sound that ranges through several styles of hip hop. Can't wait for their up and coming album, Grown Kid Syndrome.

Welcome Back P!

Prodigy, of Mobb Deep, was released from jail today after finishing his 3 year bid. Lets hope the H.N.I.C. continues to create hood music now that he's finally free.

Throwback Thursday: Lord Finesse - Hip 2 Da Game

Hip Hop was the best when I was first discovering all the classic stuff out there. Now i spend all day searching through tons of garbage until I find something worthy of a second listen. And for that reason, Throwback Thursdays are here to stay!

Lord Finesse (of D.I.T.C.) is yet another underground emcee from Brooklyn NY. Don't know what else to say about the hip hop pioneer, so i'll just let the music speak for itself.

OFWGKTA Blowin' Up!

So I first found out about the group a while back when they had their solid fan base. Last month, Tyler, the Creator, dropped the "Yonkers" music video and tripled that fan base within a few days. The attention grabbing video brought listeners into watching the hilarious youtube videos of these guys living their "don't give a fuck" lifestyle and just them having a good time. The music is good, but what makes OFWGKTA great, is their image; unlike anything out there. Not only did they build up an underground movement big enough to get them on mainstream networks, but they have reached this level of success with out compromising (Sorry Lupe). On top of that, they are 18, 19, and 20 year olds who are fucking hilarious.

Are these young misfits just another brief trend? Or are we really in for an odd future?
