Scarface take us back to the fifth ward and also returns to rap a lot on his latest release MADE. Made is the usual formula that has made scarface a classic artist. 10 solid songs accompanied by an intro and outro. Scarface is the best when he is telling a gritty story in his rhymes, expressing his love for his religion, and just some downright gangster lyrics. Along with some solid beats this album is a winner. Scarface has been around since 86' so his consistency in making music is amazing. This album gets big support from me and is highly recommended.

Charli Baltimore is the best female rapper, hands down. Ever since her label went under, she has been severely slept on. Murder Inc. isn't doin' there job right. One listen to this album and you will see why no other female can touch her. If you don't have this album yet, then you better get it.

Carnage is a so-so release from Chaundon. I think the braggadocios rhymes are cool, but they'd probably sound better coming from someone more believable. It's not a bad album, but there was nothing on it that "wowed" me. I'd have to say it doesn't separate Chaundon from the rest of the pack either. You might love it right away, but after the new album buzz wears off, I can't imagine anyone reaching for this. I'd recommend giving this a listen before you actually pay for it.

Anyone who’s followed hiphop that reads a bit under the radar has been familiar with west coast regulars Strong Arm Steady. Strong Arm is literally assaulting the streets with endless promotion and mixtapes coming out left and right. Strong Arm wants to bring the West Coast mixtape scene, which at their own admittance is not the strongest, to the forefront and "The Collector’s Edition" is a best of, compiling their strongest material from late into one jampacked album. With Xzibit, literally everywhere you look whether it’s rambling on in deodarant commercials or hosting his own show, and underground staples, Phil Da Agony and Krondon; Strong Arm have quite the formidable crew.

The first thing that jumps out about this album is the fact that Supastition finally has production that will do his unique flow justice. Supa takes his listeners on a journey through everyday life with lyrics that are heartfelt and earnest. Whether he's asking his ex-girlfriend to take him back or recounting his journey to get signed you'll feel like you're standing right there with him through it all. With help from beatsmiths like Illmind, Nicolay, Jake One, Madwreck, and M-Phazes, the production has more meat for Supa to sink his teeth into this time around. Chain Letters is a nod to the true school while progressive in its attempt to return hip hop to its golden roots. Guests include Little Brother, Nonameko, D Minor, Seven, and Can Tell

Sometimes, every now and then a artist or a group will come out and their release is hyped up and then you get the CD and its mediocre or nothing that you expected it to be. Lucy Pearl, which is composed of, Raphael Saadiq, from Tony!Toni!Tone!fame, Dawn Robinson, from En Vogue fame, and Ali Shaheed Muhammad, from A Tribe Called Quest fame. Now if that's not a supergroup, then let me know what is. The debut CD from Lucy Pearl lives up to all expectations and then some. The music appeal is comparable to what a 2000 Tony!Toni!Tone! CD might have been. With Raphael Saadiq and Ali Shaheed Muhammad sharing most of the production duties, you'll be bouncing like "Check The Rhime", "Electric Relaxation" and "Award Tour" had you bouncing in A Tribe Called Quest's heyday. Most of the tracks on Lucy Pearl's CD are dance tracks, but that doesn't hurt anything. Raphael's and Dawn's vocals blend like they have been together in the same group for years. The best example of this, is the 1st single, that was also on the "Love And Basketball" soundtrack, "Dance Tonight". There are other gems as well: "Trippin'", "Can't Stand Your Mother", "Good Love", "La La", etc. The year 2000 has already had a few tight R&B CDs so far: D'Angelo, Amel Larrieux, Joe, Carl Thomas, Dwayne Wiggins, as well as, Ms. Braxton herself, but the vibe that Lucy Pearl has created will be hard to stop for many years to come. I haven't seen a combination this good since chicken and mambo sauce.

Between the Sheets is a 1983 album released by The Isley Brothers on their T-Neck imprint. Yielding the top ten singles, "Between the Sheets" and "Choosey Lover" including the radio hits "Let's Make Love Tonight" and "Ballad for the Fallen Soldier", the album gave the Isleys another platinum record. It was a series of lasts for the group: it was the last album to be released under the T-Neck name, the last album the group recorded for Epic, and the last time the 3 + 3 lineup recorded together. By the end of the year, younger brothers Ernie, Marvin and Chris Jasper left the group to form Isley-Jasper-Isley while Ronald, O'Kelly and Rudolph continued on as a trio. "Between the Sheets" has become a heavily sampled R&B classic as is "Choosey Lover", which was re-recorded by Aaliyah for her 1996 album, One In a Million & by Cleavland rap group Bone Thugs-n-Harmony for "Buddah Lovaz"

After scoring their first number one album, The Heat Is On, The Isley Brothers' followed that classic up less than a year later with 1976's amazing Harvest For The World. The band has always had something to say and never have they said more than on the amazing title track. A call for understanding and unity, the song has more relevance today than it did twenty-five years ago. The album is worth it for that song alone, but the rest of the album stands up as well with "People Of Today", "Let Me Down Easy" and "At Your Best (You Are Love)" standing out. The album peaked at number nine on the charts.
