Every time I think The Infamous is on another level than Hell on Earth…

I actually listen to Hell on Earth and realize I am a damn fool

Cuban Linx is one of the greatest albums ever made, and my personal favourite Wu record (solo or group)

Oh yea it’s definitely legit, it’s on his YouTube and he’s sending DL links to those who ask via DM

It’s definitely a real EP

New Lungs x Cise Greeny album is killer

These guys are lyrical demons 🔥🔥

They sound great on the warped and minimalist beats from LoneSword

“Getting to the spaces in between licking my fingers”

E L U C I D leaves 🌎 on First Light oh my 😮‍💨😮‍💨🤯

What a journey

**from March 13, 2026 onward ofc

If you are in need of a spiritual boost…

Play I Told Bessie directly into I Guess U Had to Be Here 👍🏽

This new Sideshow album is everything I ever hoped he’d make

A full serving of his raps across a full hour, with *exceptionally cool* production

So impressed

It’s a good sign for an album when a track that “feels like the outro” on first listen, is in fact the outro

Chris Crack’s latest album might be my favourite from him yet

Really mess with the production choices, tons of colour and great grooves

Chris’ raps are on point, with hilarious bars, dope rhyme schemes and a catchy delivery

Some fun jams on this 🔥

Sideshow is an effortlessly cool rapper

“You can love the street, but that b**** ain’t monogamous… try to wife, she gon’ put you in sarcophagus”

Loving this new SLLIME x Mick LP 👏🏽

Cool seeing Mick in a bag that many listeners tapped into the underground can appreciate

SLLIME killed the beats, and gave us A1 verses

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Goddamn Blu and CRIME snapped on Pinto 🔥🔥

War Cash has been in heavy rotation, such a focused and sharp record

Too $hort song is the exception, I liked that

I was hopeful going into it, but Keem’s album is not hitting for me so far

The introspective songs were pretty good, like I am not a Lyricist

But it’s the poppier / banger-type tracks that fell flat for me… these aren’t grabbing my ear, hoping that changes on more listens

This instrumental + Yolanda hook are some of the sweetest sounds known to man 🤌🏽

YOOOO new Mach album is dropping [after the Vernal Equinox] 👀👀👀👀👀

Fully produced by Playa Haze too - been a huge fan of everything I’ve heard from him, pumped he got this opportunity

Elzhi is one of the purest MCs to ever live 👏🏽

Very few on earth have such an innate feel for rhythm quite like him

It allows him to kick ridiculously smooth flows and bar a track up like The Steiners - a standout off the best Gunn album

🚨 LORD JAH-MONTE OGBON will be joining The Rap Music Plug Podcast for an interview 🚨

We discuss his unorthodox rap style, the impact of signing to Lex Records, and his outstanding new album, As of Now

That run Navy Blue was on in 2021 as a producer was INSANE

Revisiting Half God recently, and his work on this is masterful

Gave Wik the perfect soundscape to showcase his entire arsenal of talents… crazy flows and emotional clarity

Half God has aged like fine 🍷

Evidence laced CRIMEAPPLE on this new album 👏🏽

These are some of his best beats in a while, CRIME sounds perfect on this

Very enjoyable 20 mins right here

Haha you are correct, Let Nas Down was the song

This is really good music 👏🏽

Joshua created some amazing textures, such a psychedelic and immense sound

J. Cole is one of the worst producers + beat selectors in mainstream rap

Idk why his ear is consistently drawn to such dullness
