Sometimes people seem to forget that Ice-Cube was an incredibly gangsta dude. When he first split from N.W.A, some wondered how he would fair as a solo artist. He showed everyone when he dropped Amerikkka’s Most Wanted, which saw Cube take his creativity to new heights. Over the next 2 years, he dropped consistently solid albums, keeping as “real” as one could on record. From there he made Friday (which we loved) and then continued his foray into the movie scene (while dropping a few more solo efforts). He may make kid movies now-a-days, but we thought it fitting to take some time out and reflect on how HARD Ice-Cube used to be. Salute to the G. SUBSCRIBE

Was is the voice? The flow? Whatever it was, when NINE dropped his classic album, “Nine Livez”, lead off with teh single “Wutcha Want”, me and my whole crew took notice. The man was sick…period! Unfortunately, like most underated greats, he never quite found mainstream success. He released a second album (which is REDICULOUS…if your lucky enough to find a copy) which slipped under the radar. Imma say this…NINE, if your reading this…GET AT ME! SUBSCRIBE!

Lost Boyz were dope as hell in the 90’s. The South Jamaica Queens group, consisting of Mr. Cheeks, Freaky Tah, Spigg Nice and Pretty Lou had a string of hits that propelled them into the spotlight. Unfortunately Freaky Tah was shot and killed in 1999. The crew tried to move on, but could not find the same chemistry that once existed. Spigg Nice was later booked for a string of bank robberies in NJ, and was sentenced to 37 years in jail. Mr. Cheeks found some success as a solo artist. This week we pay homage to the Lost Boyz, and bang the gems that made our heads nod back in the day. Rest in Peace Freaky Tah! SUBSCRIBE! SEASON 3!

The versatility of Internal Quest is what makes him a much-needed force in the Hip-Hop industry.

With the right touches from El Da Sensei and MC Rafa, “Play the Horn” will be one of many favorites off of Flight 973 to Sydney. Internal Quest doesn’t leave the ladies out the loop, “One Night Affair” and “Grindin for Us” slows it down and shows appreciation to the ladies and the one night stands.
