Boldy James & Real Bad Man - Killing Nothing
ReviewsCommentReal Bad Boldy is sounding more robust.
Ka - Descendants of Cain
ReviewsCommentWhile Descendants of Cain doesn't have the consistent mythos of Orpheus vs. the Sirens and is at times typical for Ka, his pen game and delivery are as sharp as ever.
Griselda - WWCD

Freddie Gibbs & Madlib - Bandana
ReviewsCommentFreddie and Madlib continue to bring out the best in each other on Bandana.
Curren$y, Freddie Gibbs & The Alchemist - Fetti
