Sheek had to have some crossover joints on this album. What would be the point of a Def Jam deal otherwise? The Jeremih-assisted single isn’t the catastrophe you’d expect. Far from it, actually.

The crowd at The Local 269, a shabby New York City bar on 269 Houston Street, could not have been less interested. The bartender scribbled on his notebook, two older men talked to a woman half their age, and a gaggle of NYU students crowded a booth by the stage...
More heat from the SNL Digital Short/Lonely Island crew. Rule: you can sing this only if you hit it in the last 30 minutes. The new Lonely Island album is at the top of my 2011 list. Sphere: Related Content
Alabama hip-hop hit the ground running this year. The main success story is Yelawolf, who landed an Interscope deal and has everyone awaiting his next move. But there’s another Alabama rapper with a major label deal and he’s even more of a black sheep than Yela: Jackie Chain, a towering..

Always great to hear from Detroit’s very slept on Ta’raach. Curly Castro tells the story of a modern day Tom Robinson, a black man falsely accused of raping a white woman, in a blistering 94-second verbal assault. “Wise” is the B-side from Curly Castro’s new single. The album Winston’s Appeal..
