With “Domo 23” Tyler, The Creator essentially covers all the bases previous tracks like “Rella” and “Yonkers” already have–except with a bit more trap flavor in the beat. WATCH THE REVIEW

Wu-Tang’s very own Ghostface Killah is gearing up for another full-length LP. The title: Twelve Reasons To Die, and it’s dropping on RZA’s Soul Temple Music in the middle of April. The song is inconspicuous once it gets past the dramatic, narrative intro; however, the beat here

The Woods by OXYxMORON OXYxMORON is a smooth, Southern hip hop trio from South Carolina, and the Woods is its latest project. The tracks here have a lot of sweet, jazzy beats that have some tight 808-style drums backing them up. A lot of the heartfelt, honest lyricism reminds me
