U-N-I - A Love Supreme 2.0
This duo has a lot to offer this current generation
Kidz In The Hall - Land Of Make Believe
It
Gorillaz - Plastic Beach
Ultimately, where Plastic Beach ranks among its predecessors is an argument for the fans. Undeniable, however, is that it is the most cinematic and chilled-out Gorillaz album to date.
Ludacris - Battle of the Sexes
Battle of the Sexes is an idea that lost momentum somewhere in the middle of its inception, and the result is a haphazard collection of cuts with no clear direction.
DJ Khaled - Victory!
With Victory, his fourth album in five years, DJ Khaled continues his formula into the new millennium; big features, a street aura, and that
Snoop Dogg Presents... - West Coast Blueprint
The Doggfather puts it down properly for underrated pioneers like King Tee, Ant Banks and WC, but is it a west coast blueprint if it omits Ice-T or MC Eiht?
Planet Asia & Gold Chain Military - Chain Of Command

Bisco Smith - The Broadcast
Bisco is an acquired taste. This is music that moves the mind to a point where the body may follow. The Broadcast transmits without static, and whether or not you adjust your dial, you can hear the quality in the music.

Canibus - Melatonin Magik
Melatonin Magik is his honest view of the world around him, his observation report. Human in nature, there is some inconsistency there, but it
Big Noyd - Queens Chronicle
Queens Chronicle shows a strong allegiance to New York Rap and the production trends of that music within the 1998-2003 window, but Noyd sounds so at home in these stylistic conventions that it
Mathematics Presents... - Return Of The Wu And Friends
Eight repeat tracks, some of which have not only already been released, but have already been re-released (over half of the album, for those of you keeping track at home). That still is not the last violation of this collection.
Freeway & Jake One - The Stimulus Package
There are some missteps here (using
Galactic - Ya-Ka-May
Much like the New Orleans dish after which it
DJ Kay Slay - More Than Just A DJ
With his own entertainment label in Streetsweepers, CEO of Straight Stuntin Magazine, a former top graffiti artist, and a host of various popular mixshows on radio, it
