Album Review: Dr Dre. “Compton” by Blade Brown

Artist: Dr. Dre Album: “Compton: A Soundtrack By Dr. Dre“ Review: It took a long time. Fifteen & a half years actually, but Dr. Dre has finally delivered his final album. Although for years we’ve heard that “Detox” would be his final album, it has also grown to be an urban legend in the music…

Album Review: Ludacris “Ludaversal” by Blade Brown

Artist: Ludacris Album: “Ludaversal” Review: Its been a little over 5 years to the date since Christopher “Ludacris” Bridges released his last album, “Battle Of The Sexes“.

Artist: Lupe Fiasco Album: “Tetsuo & Youth” Almost three full years after his last album, Lupe Fiasco delivers the goods on his fifth, and presumably last studio album “Tetsuo & Youth”.
