Happy Pride Month: 7 LBGT Hip Hop Artist You Should Know

There has been a long running idea that Hip Hop is a lot of things...abrasive, expressive, gangsta, lyrical, gimmicky, but one word that rarely comes up when speaking about Hip Hop is "inclusive". Though there may be some push back for acts like Lil Pump, Lil Xan, Nav, and others who often times are seen as mocking the art of rap, they are still accepted for what hip hop culture has always existed to be...free expression.

Opinion: Marlon Craft - The Best Rapper You've Never Heard

New artists have been entering the realm of hip hop at an alarming rate. Unfortunately, most rappers have struggled to pave their own way in this oversaturated industry. In this article, I would like to shed some light on someone I believe is a star in the making New York native, Marlon Craft, saw his first glimpse of success nearly 7 years ago with his "Shook Ones" freestyle. He captivated audiences with witty wordplay and a strong voice, and also stood out for being a white rapper who didn't reflect the mold of Eminem or NF.

Worst Albums of 2020

Hey everyone!!! It's that time again where I rant and ramble on about the trash I've heard in the year 2020. There is a slight twist to this year's list. I usually limit my list to ten albums, but I couldn't go without mentioning all the projects that truly disappointed me, so there's 11 albums that made the cut this year. I hope you all enjoy my pain. Future & Lil Uzi Vert - Pluto x Baby Pluto The first quote that comes to mind when I think about this album is "the sum of its parts are greater than its whole". This highly anticipated album was bogged down by a complete lack of chemistry. This project sounds like Future put together an album, and called Lil Uzi Vert to record when Future ran out of words to say. It seems like they haven't spent a single minute together rather virtually or in person. What makes this album even worse is the lyrics are so repetitive, "Marni on Me" sums up how poor their chemistry is, to a point where it so...
