Review: 
Ya'll already know it's a 5 MIC #Classic, so I'm not even going to waste your time on the rating. I'll be getting right to the Meat & Potatoes. 

Slick Rick is hands down one of the BEST storyteller MC's from the past. He's always put out quality work. Check his discography and bow down. 

The FUN part of doing these OLD SCHOOL reviews is the memories and quotable bars. I can still play this TAPE (Now Digital) over and over from front to back. I don't have to turn over the tape though. LOL! 

I notice that half the production was done by the "The Bomb Squad". If you don't know who they are, it's the production crew behind #HipHopClassics like Public Enemy and Ice Cube's come back after he divorced NWA. There production was as equal to any HOT producer you are checking for currently. 

When I first heard Mr. Rick, I fell in love with his voice and rhyme flow. He's a British rapper who was raised in the Bronx, New York. No rapper had that distinct voice and storytelling capacity prior to him. This is why people still to this day argue about if he's the best storytelling MC. 

Another reason I love about reviewing old school albums is the gems I find. I didn't know or remembered that he was also a producer. And a GREAT producer at that. Most of the tracks he did above are the WORLDS favorite. #HipHopClassic

Please go on your music source and press PLAY. I'm hoping that once you hear this for the first time or the 3,000th, that you appreciate what real Hip-Hop is. The entire album makes you wish you were around when it dropped. And I was and I feel so blessed. Slick Rick, thank you for your music. It got me through a lot back in the day. #HipHopSavedMyLife

G Fam Black VS Ceverely Yours

G Fam Black VS Ceverely Yours Dear G Fam Black, Thank you once again for participating in this interview. I know you don’t do many press features, and this is a wonderful chance for your fans to learn a bit about you while still keeping some of that mystery. I truly appreciate it. Peace, G. I’m grateful for this opportunity! - G Fam Black Questions & Answers: 1. Are you originally from Brockton Massachusetts? And where are the best places to eat? Absolutely, I was born and raised in Brockton. There are plenty of great food spots here. For the best chicken, I’d recommend “Yas Chicken” and “Birdies Hot Chicken”, which are both fantastic. For breakfast, I have to mention “Alexander's Family Restaurant”. They’ve been around since I was a kid, and their omelets are incredible. For pizza, “Cape Cod Cafe Pizza” is the way to go—it's the best bar pizza in the world, a true South Shore Massachusetts specialty. A lot of towns near Brockton brag about having the best bar pizza, but th...

How To Support Your Local Rapper/Producer?

  The Core Problem: The Illusion of Support vs. Real Financial Impact Many fans believe that streaming a song, watching a music video, or following an artist on social media is "support." While this is valuable for visibility, it provides almost no direct income, especially for artists without major label backing. The Streaming Chasm:  It's well-known that streaming payouts are meager. An artist might need  hundreds of thousands of streams  just to earn a modest monthly rent. For underground rappers without playlist placements or algorithmic favor, this is an insurmountable hurdle. The "Exposure" Fallacy:  Many shows, especially for opening acts or in competitive markets, are "pay-to-play" or offer minimal guarantees. Playing for "exposure" doesn't pay bills. So, if streaming and low-tier shows don't cut it, how  can  fans genuinely support rappers, especially underground ones? Let's break it down by impact. Tier 1: The Lifeblood ...

P-Ro is 12 FOR 12

Dear P-Ro, Thank you once again for participating in this interview. The year of 2025 was definitely a great year for you. 12 Albums in 12 months is something to be proud of. Your consistency, drive and performance shows, if you work hard, the world is yours. Questions & Answers: 01 Releasing one album per month for a year is a monumental, almost athletic creative feat. What was the core philosophy or personal need that drove this marathon? Was it to break a habit, prove something, or simply because the music was overflowing? -It was actually a little bit of all those, and wanting to challenge myself with a goal and try to get better at being organized. The list of projects I made in December looks different than what I ended up doing. If I wasn't dedicated to monthly drops, I probably wouldn't have made 4-5 of the ones I did. It's great to have a team that's like-minded and can dive in with me when I need them and make great, fun music together and share it with th...
