Editors' Review:
You may know Fakts' work without quite knowing it--as the silent Perceptionist, he's spiked the rhymes of more famous Bostonians Mr. Lif and Akrobatik. His long-sidelined "Long Range" disc is a fuller... more »

Editors' Review:
When Chip Fu titles a cut "MC Squared," he means it literally. The dude actually means to fit exponentially more words into a track than you. "Alphabet Aerobics"-style, he can pull it off. This is an ... more »

Editors' Review:
Last year, Nas suddenly found himself back at the center of the hip-hop world, thanks to a hotly argued claim: the genre itself was dead. Know this: if it's alive after all, the veteran means to stay ... more »

Editors' Review:
It's tough to pinpoint what sets the New York MC's style apart. Maybe it's just that, in the midst of Maino's classic Brooklyn bravado, he feels almost wistful. That's certainly a screwball, and one t... more »

Editors' Review:
Think of Tame as a sort of hip-hop Syd Barrett. Like the Pink Floyd guru, the MC features quirky, psychedelic epics packed with colorful images. On new LP "Da Ol Jersey Bastard," the rhymes are offset... more »

With this batch of snapping breaks, 45 reminds us he's not just king of vinyl beatmaking, but president and emperor, too. The seminal rhythm man got a much-deserved mainstream bounce (but little name ... more »

What "Alphabet Aerobics" was to rap librarians, Nino's "Name Droppin'" is to the scene's historians. Impressively, the artist weaves famous rap names into the grammar of his verse ("Snatched this Cuba... more »

New York hip-hop needed a jump, and Craig G and Marley Marl have brought cables. Self-styled as a fixer of East Coast woes, "Operation Take Back Hip-Hop" succeeds grandly. Golden instrumental beats fe... more »

A little Cognac can make a man do funny things; Freekey Zekey's new disc, "Blame It on the Henny," is an entertaining chronicle of what happens when everyone's had a glass too many. Crunching Harlem c... more »
