World domination is an acceptable statement to make when reminded of all of the accomplishments Beyoncé has managed to slip under her belt within the first five months of this year alone. One achievement, probably not the most obvious, being the self-confidence that has rippled over from her stage persona, Sasha Fierce. Renouncing her former [...]

Since the broadcast of the original TV series in 1966, Star Trek has had so many sequels, reboots, re-inventions and spin offs that it becomes quite laborious to calculate. But never has the franchise received the widespread appeal given by its JJ Abrams (Director) reenactment, which began with his aptly titled Star Trek (2009) and [...]

Dark poetry is probably the best way to describe Ghostface Killah’s latest offering. If you’re a fan of Quentin Tarantino movies you’ll love it. Like a lyrical horr-opera, Ghostdini does what he does best by attacking every beat with his razor sharp tongue not letting up for even a second. While many are going to [...]

His official arrival on the scene back in 2004 came at a time when records were selling and rap was the toast of the commercial market. With 50 Cent then the hottest thing out, Papoose’s buzz [...]

The latest emcee to emerge from 9th Wonder’s Jamla Records roster, former NCAA baller GQ sounds as if he’s going to be setting off with some serious offence if the lyrical talents displayed on Death Threats and Love Notes: The Prequel are anything to go by.

Whether viewed as a modern genius or a shock tactician, both the musical and public antics of LA’s 22 year old rhymer/producer Tyler The Creator have divided opinion amongst many. Whilst outlandish music videos and controversial song topics have drawn criticism, his aptitude for constructing grimy, underground beats and penning creative narratives has been heralded [...]

Once regarded by fans and critics alike as one of the best to ever do it, they say that actions speak louder than words – and the Lil Wayne headlines of late have definitely been more about his actions and less about his words. From vocally chastising the Miami Heat basketball team to being rushed [...]

On a night set to ignite a love for all things ’90s R&B related, an extremely poor live performance last night (March 23rd) cemented the demise of one of R&B’s once great all male groups. [...]
