Troy Ave triumphantly concludes his epic Bricks In My Backpack series with The Harry Powder Trilogy. What started as some of the realest street raps ever conceived and then shifted into a more mature sound on Bricks 2 has now evolved even more to bring us the most lavish and successful sounding project yet....
So once again we have a case of dickridin ass mafuckas who can’t wait to crown something a “classic” when it hasn’t even had time to circulate throughout the internet and be digested. I download this “Glory” joint, listen to it once, throw on an episode of The Wire and before I even have...
The term “legend” isn’t one that should be used loosely however just like the word “classic” it’s thrown around constantly for artists that may not necessarily have lived up to the title. While names like Kane and Rakim are no doubt legends, other MCs sometimes get that label based purely off personal opinion. And...
As seen on RepPGHHipHop.com It’s been a minute since I’ve really had anything to say. That could partly be due to the lack of activity in hip hop right now, or more likely it’s because I’ve been listening to nothing but House of Balloons for the last 3 weeks, short of bumping the new...
As seen on RepPGHHipHop.com Even though the maxi single has been completely eliminated (save for the few months or so they tried to bring it back at the beginning of this century which of course, failed) artists still need a way to break through to the mainstream and catch on to expand their fan...

Whether they were labeled as “street albums” or straight up $5 slimlines, a number of solid releases dropped that didn’t see a barcode or a BestBuy, but they are certainly notable. Some introduced us to...
As seen on RepPGHHipHop.com Straight out of Brooklyn comes Troy Ave, an MC who has a strong co-sign from Fabolous and the hottest mixtape on the streets right now, Bricks In My Backpack. This is straight up gettin’ money music. It’s the type of shit that motivates you to cook up and then get...
As seen on RepPGHHipHop.com We all have our own personal tastes and while some are based on years of dedication to an artist’s entire catalog, other people just like what’s hot and could give a fuck less about the unreleased demo from 2004 with an extra verse on a later used track. Proving how...
As seen on RepPGHHipHop.com The other day I looked at how fans get all entitled about what they consider “real” hip hop to be, and how unless it’s something they like, it basically falls into their own little personal category of not being “real” hip hop. Now I’m gonna look at the artists themselves,...
