New Music This week


Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 by The Bestie Boys

Let's be honest, there aren't too many artists that can span three decades let alone make a profound impact on the world of music. These dudes were rapping back when hip-hop was just popping off! The Beastie's are a mixed bag. From party pioneers to doody-rhyme mad scientists, liberal social commentators that to this day can still sell out Madison Square Garden in minutes . The lyrical writing is fun like 'Pauls Boutique' , vocals tracked distorted and grimy like 'Ill Communication' layered over electronica a la 'Hello Nasty' with their heaviest hitting beats since 'Check Your Head.' As a matter of fact, I'd say this is their most hip-hop sounding album since their 92-94 era; A Fantastic Beastie Boys record!

Drinking The Sun by The HIlltop Hoods

Adelaide's Hilltop Hoods have returned with an album that once again places them at the top of the Aus hip hop scene. It's called Drinking From The Sun.
Crafted over the last three years with a stack of DJs and special guests, expect nothing less than the Hood's razor sharp lyrics and some dynamo production.





Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded by Nicki Minaj

At her best, Nicki Minaj is, line for line, one of the wittiest, most creative rappers working today, either male or female. Her many personas and voices fly through her songs with joyful abandon, and she seems to be having so much fun astonishing us. On the first half of her second album, “Pink Friday ... Roman Reloaded,” the Trinidadian American rapper from New York City offers repeated evidence of her talents, and she delivers funny, biting, bawdy lines and rhyming couplets with apparent glee
