New group to watch for

Random Axe is comprised of producer Black Milk, Detroit vet-MC, Guilty Simpson, and Sean Price from Boot Camp Click. Those interested should listen to Black Milk's "Tronic", one of the best MC/produced albums of the decade.

The Ecstatic

If anyone gets a chance check out the new Mos Def album entitled The Estatic, it combines a variety of new beats with the same old school flow that Mos Def is known for. My favorite songon the album thus far is "Priority," however "History" reunites Blackstar and really gets my hopes up for a reunion.

Throwback jam of the day

Recently, I've been listening to a lot of classic hip hop; thought I should post a hot jam.

SONG REVIEW: Eminem - "3 A.M."

It's not 3 A.M. nor am I Eminem, but I'm really diggin' this track. He sways away from his fucked up Arabic voice (kind of), and his lyrical content is much deeper than the shots taken at Sarah Palin and Lindsay Lohan that we found in the utterly pathetic, half-hearted track 'We Made You.' Although comical, 3 A.M. is clearly an address of his now-public drug problems as well as a big FUCK YOU to all who say Mathers is now incapable of creating a catchy song that doesn't scream "SELL OUT!!" I would love some feedback on this because I've only listened to this track like 4 times, but from what I can tell, Eminem is back and 3 A.M. is clear-cut evidence of that. Regardless of what you think of 36 year-old white rappers, if you're a rap fan you should take a listen because 2009 hip-hop will belong to Marshall before 3 A.M. on Relapse's release date, May 19th.

SONG REVIEW: Lil' Wayne - "Yeahhh"

By Killian Gould

"Yeahhh," is a newer Wayne song that has yet to make a mixtape. It features a rock beat much like many of Wayne's new songs, but rather than his auto-tuned whine "Yeahh," features three of Wayne's best verses this year. "Yeahh," should be a welcome relief for those fans of Wayne who are less than enthusiastic about Tha Carter III, Rebirth set to hit stores June 9th.
