2Face - Howard Stern2Face's "Howard Stern" takes me back, as far as the picture I chose for this post lol. Anthony Cruz aka A Butta & Swigga aka L-Swift give us a track that is definitely reminiscent of the days of straight beats & rhymes, albeit the content would have to be something of a ...

Let's kick this off with Ras Kass' "Soul On Ice Demo." This is NOT to be confused w/ his cassette release, "Sampler On Ice," as people have mistaken in the past. This is 11 original gritty outtakes of tracks that would later make the official "Soul On Ice" LP. If you ask me, he sounds more ...

Anyone doubt that Nine's "Nine Livez" is one of the most slept-on albums from the 90s? Speak up if you do. "Any Emcee," "The Cypha," Whatcha Want," "Ova Confident," "Redrum," I can go on. The whole album isn't dope, but there are enough joints on here, from an artist that hadn't really released ...

Joell Ortiz - Top Of The Charts (Prod. The Faculty)This might be my favorite Joell Ortiz track. He drops more punchlines in this track (that are on point) then most artists drop in an album & his flow and delivery were extremely on point. I don't love everything he makes, but even amongst the ...

GZA's "Liquid Swords" is definitely one of my most favorite albums of all-time. There was a basement feel to it, sure, but at the time, this was just what you wanted to hear & it all blended perfectly. The production is dope and it plays all the way through for me, so it's definitely earns a top ...
