REVIEW: Jay-Z & Kanye West – Watch The Throne

Follow @hearwax It is hard to remember the last time a hip hop record had the hype that Watch The Throne has had up until its release. More than just a collaboration album between rap’s two biggest names – Jay-Z and Kanye West – it represents the possible beginning of a new age in high [...]

Lex Luger, Watch The Throne, and the Future of Hip Hop

Follow @hearwax While not a result of its overall musical quality, Rick Ross‘s Teflon Don record may just be the most influential rap album of the last few years.

Kayo Dot – Stained Glass

Whether it is extended play or a mid-cycle effort to keep attentions focused is inconsequential – This is Kayo Dot. It was hard not to ‘top-down’ some emotional expectation on Coyote given the album’s proposed content, [...]
