Rick Ross & Big Sean Remix Future’s “Commas”
May 26th, 2015 James Shotwell Following a lackluster 2014, Future has spent the first half of 2015 reaffirming his positing amongst the hip-hop elite.

Ikey Reigns Supreme; All Hail King Jaffe, Hip-Hop’s New Highness
May 12th, 2015 Brian Leak Apart from maybe Run The Jewels, the most exciting thing about hip-hop for me last year was Ikey. He only released a single track–a debut of sorts–but it was a perfectly chosen debut to serve as the gloves he came out swinging with. Initially elusive as all get out, the now-DC-based, mostly Nigerian-raised emcee seemingly […]

Watch Run The Jewels Give Teenage Girls Advice on Love
January 20th, 2015 Nina Corcoran By now, it’s pretty much common knowledge that Run The Jewels are the best. With two fantastic albums in their pockets, plenty of excellent solo work, and their upheld promise to re-make their album using entirely cat sounds, El-P and Killer Mike are two of the best rappers in the game at the moment.
