Talib Kweli- “Push Thru” (ft. Kendrick Lamar & Curren$y)
by Raffi Khatchadourian •
When Curren$y, Talib Kweli, & Kendrick Lamar are spitting on the same track; you know to tune in. Not only do the three rappers shine on Talib’s new track, but the production is handled by S1, the same guy who produced Kanye West’s “Power”.

Hopsin- “Ill Mind Of Hopsin 5”
by Raffi Khatchadourian •
I became a fan of Hopsin after seeing him perform at the XXL Freshman Concert in NYC. His energy and stage presence topped almost all of the other performers. His new track has that old school Eminem feel that isn’t rivaled currently in the rap game. Although he can be compared to 90s Em because…

Nas- “Trust” (Bonus Track)
by Raffi Khatchadourian •
Nas’s new album released today officially in the U.S. and as you can see it is by far my favorite album of the month (check out our new feature on the sidebar). Nas showed that hip hop is still alive and thriving. In Life is Good, Nas was able to achieve that 90s feel in the music…
