From his outrageous live shows to his undeniable ability to out rap anybody alive, R.A. The Rugged Man has become one of the most exciting artists in hip hop history. Although he's only released one album in his 18-year career, he has recorded hundreds of songs with some of the biggest names in the game. Since many of these songs were never commercially available, R.A. decided to compile them for

He 's been called a prophet, an innovator, a poet; whichever you prefer, the emcee known as Killah Priest is certainly one of the most vivid lyricists in Hip Hop. Priest first entranced listeners on the classic track "B.I.B.L.E. (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth)" on GZA's seminal debut LP Liquid Swords. Since then Priest has continued to enthrall devotees of true Hip Hop with his lush

With all the talk that hip-hop is dead, there's no better example than Fashawn to prove that it's certainly alive, well and being fed to a hungry new generation of hip-hop fans. And after listening to just 16 bars it's evident that Fashawn is one of the hungriest. He's a prodigal son, part of a new generation of emcees lucky enough to grow up in hip-hop's golden era. He's not an '80s baby; he's a

The Legendary underground hip-hop artist MF DOOM digs into his vast archives to mix together some of his all-time favorite productions, collaborations and guest appearances. Whether it be along side legends like De La Soul, Talib Kweli or Ghostface, DOOM shows why (as a producer or MC) he is one of the most in demand artists in music today. If that weren t enough DOOM also decided to include in

The Legendary New York MCs, O.C. & A.G. return once again to quench the thirst of hip-hop fans worldwide.

There is definitely something to be said for the magnanimous impact of two legends teaming up, in no uncertain terms, to do work. With both of their reputations firmly solidified in the annals of hip-hop, true O.G.s Masta Ace and Edo. G have joined forces to show these wet-behind-the-ears rookies how it goes, with the release of Arts & Entertainment. The aggressive “Hands High” lets all

With over 60,000 units sold of his 2007 critically acclaimed album The Undisputed Truth, Brother Ali returns with Us. As with his previous releases, Ali's musical landscape has been created by Atmosphere beatsmith, Ant. Staying true to their soul and blues influence they've become known for, Us takes on a more lush and dense sonic quality with the duo's incorporation of live instrumentation. With

A rapper's rapper. It s a phrase that has been used to describe the best of them. This respect that Ryan Montgomery, aka Royce Da 5 9, has earned amongst his peers has been ten years in the making. Though he began his career at a time when these qualities were still abundant in the rap game, Royce is the last of a dying breed in 2009. He is one of the few artists today to put the quality of his

Release from the underground Hip Hop sensation. Taking the things in a direction seldom seen, songs on K.O.D. seethe with truth, aggression and brutal honesty. Tech N9ne has always been, in his words 'inside out'. He puts himself fully into his music and his fans can definitely relate. He doesn't tell stories, he recounts his life- with songs like 'Blackened The Sun' and 'Leave Me Alone', he lets

When Brooklyn is in the house, you know the outcome! This is another dope track from Bekay and the new king of BK, Masta Ace.

Skyzoo was  born Gregory Skyler Taylor in 1982 in Crown Heights. He began rapping at the age of nine and went on to work with producers Jay Dee and 9th Wonder, releasing several mixtapes in the hope of securing a record deal. He lost to Jin on BET's 106 & Park freestyle contest, but went on to have tracks used as both the theme to ESPN's Whiplash TV and the soundtrack to a Guinness advert, and

Damn! I had to share this video! Edo G. and Masta Ace will never stop surprising me. This is probably the funniest video I have ever watched, take a look.

KRS-One has published a 600-page Gospel of Hip-Hop dedicated to the "spirituality" and "divinity" of hip-hop culture. He believes that in 100 years his book, which took him 10 years to write, will become a new sacred book like the Bible and The Holy Qur’an. When it comes to hip-hop, KRS-One has always thought big. "I am not just doing hip-hop," he said, "I am hip-hop." But with his new book,

It is amazing that already-awesome movies can be made even more awesome when summarized through of hip-hop. We rememeber that Terminator 2 was a great movie and according to me was the best in all the Terminator series. Terminator Salvation was just below the standards, but anyway, this ain’t 'rottentomato' or sh*t, we talking about hip hop here. This is the  hip hop version of Terminator II:

Underground Hip hop is an umbrella term for Hip hop music outside the general commercial standard. It is often characterized by having more socially conscious, positive, or anti-commercial lyrics than the mainstream; however, there is no unifying or universal theme. Many artists produce music that celebrates the fundamental elements or pillars of Hip Hop culture: graffiti, b-boying, DJing, and

With the emergence of commercial and crime-related rap during the early 1990s, an emphasis on violence was incorporated in Hip-hop music, with many rappers boasting about drugs, weapons, misogyny, and violence. While hip hop music now appeals to a broader demographic, media critics argue that socially and politically conscious hip hop has long been disregarded by mainstream America in favour of
