Editors' Review:

Who better than J Dilla's little brother Illa to deploy beats from the late Detroit DJ? The younger Yancey's debut is great Michigan stuff, at once mellow-as-molasses and sharp-tongued. And it's affec... more »

Rep is on it when he describes his "Unclosed Mind" disc as music first and hip-hop second. The tight rhymes and chopped rhythms are critical, but this is really melodic storytelling. The dreamy final ... more »

Everyone seems to be a rapper-slash-singer these days, but God-Des and She remind us how massively interesting that hybrid can be. On tracks like "Ja Da," the pair drop wisecracking flows and punchy b... more »
