This day in Hip-hop acknowledges the birth of two iconic figures, Warren G and Big Pun!

Gaining prominence as both a West Coast rapper and hip-hop producer, Warren G first began making a name for himself in the early 90's with his memorable debut album, Regulate... G Funk Era, released under Violator Records and distributed by Def Jam. Debuting at #2 off the US Billboard 200 and releasing hit-singles, such as “Regulate” and “This D.J.”, Warren G ushered in a more grit and steel sound that largely impacted the entirety of West Coast hip-hop.

With his debut record eventually attaining notoriety as a Hip-hop classic, as well as releasing a myriad of critically-acclaimed singles and albums, Warren

Tupac's iconic album 2Pacalypse Now makes its first vinyl appearance as the rare release hits stores in the US on Saturday, November 12.

The West Coast legend, who recently received nomination to be inducted in the 2016 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, first released his debut album in 1991 which featured memorable singles, such as “If My Homie Calls”, “Trapped”, and “Brenda's Got a Baby”, and featured Tupac brandishing raw thoughts on current issues at that time: racism, police brutality, and poverty to name a few.

Family, Friends & Fans, 

Your overwhelming prayers, well wishes and support are very touching and greatly appreciated. I thank God I can write this letter. Moments like this make you reflect on your life, passions and purpose. 

Whether accidental or with intent, the media tends to twist stories. The facts have been skewed here as well, but I pray we focus on the bigger picture. I was fortunate to receive God’s grace and a second chance at life. 

Last week I awoke disoriented in the West Hills Emergency Room surrounded by a team of doctors and my family. A that time I was told I went into cardiac arrest from an extremely low potassium level. I passed out near my Woodland Hills home before being revived by three polic

Nigerian emcee, MCskill ThaPreacha just dropped his latest single, which features him alongside soul singer, Freeborn, in a track produced by Stormatique, “Man In The Mirror”.

The track, already streamable online, recaptures the essence of Hip-hop's conscious movement, advocating change through the choices and actions of the “man in the mirror”. The song presents the second single released featured on his much-awaited album, Diary Of A Supernatural, which drops December this year.

The forthcoming album builds upon more than two years of work since MCskill made the announcement. While the project failed to deliver, the yo

Last night, Donald Trump was (inexplicably) elected to be the president of The United States and a lot of hip hop musicians are understandably angry.

Trump triumphed over Hillary Clinton last night after securing enough electoral college votes to earn the Republican nominee the presidency, despite losing the popular vote and overwhelmingly losing the vote among the poor and middle classes, as well as minorities. In the weeks leading up to the election, Trump earned the ire of many black celebrities for claiming that African-Americans owed him a vote because "they have nothing to lose." Trump further earned the ire of the hip hop community when he criticized Beyonce and Jay Z for publicly voicing support for his opponent and for Jay Z's supposedly offensive lyrics
