Lord Willin’… A Retrospective Of A 10 Year Classic
Musically when you think of Virginia , Missy Elliott and Timbaland stood out to mainstream audiences in 2002. Brothers Pusha T and Malice exposed a different side of Virginia that wasn’t about party records and having a good time. Instead their debut “Lord Willin” had street narratives about drugs, women, & their hardships they encountered [...]
Those are not the Jordans…
The title of this quick post sums it all up, “Those are not the Jordans” was the common phrase when the Nike Flight 89 would show up on the scene. For some reason the mere sight of a Flight 89 would warrant stares and ridicule. When a certain mega star decided to don a pair [...]
@DaveyDoesIt Again
Up-and-coming Louisville emcee Davey dropped his debut project “This Is Love” back in November 2011. The young spitta is back again for the top of 2012 with his new EP, “Feel Nice.” Listen/Download both projects here and witness the growth. P.S. Davey’s stylings on both album covers were done by Your’s Truly. For styling/fashion consulting [...]
Theus: Chained Illusions
Thues aka H.P. recently dropped the latest installment to his well-recognized mixtape line up called Chained Illusions. It is one of his best exhibitions of lyrical assassinations yet.

Vane’s top Rotation of 2011
For the first time ever, most of the music I liked happened to be either a mixtape or the newly coined street album… In the past I would chalk a mixtape up to be filler till the actual album released, but nowadays artists are releasing mixtapes that are actually so good that their actual album [...]
This Is Love
New up-and-coming Louisville hip hop artist (and my lil brother) @DaveyDoesIt dropped his mixtape EP a couple weeks ago. Entitled “This Is Love,” Davey touches on a variety of topics surrounding the theme of love including but not limited to, family, friends, and relationships. Shameless plug aside, This Is Love is a worthy listen. Davey shows promise, [...]

Charity Starts At Home Review
Last year Little Brother dropped their last album as a group. It was disappointing to say the least that a group who dropped a classic “The Minstrel Show” would disband. They dropped two albums since The Minstrel Show but they didn’t measure up to their predecessor or their mixtapes. 9th Wonder did his producing grind, [...]
