I am specifically highlighting this album because I can safely say its ranks amongst the greatest of alltime Hip-Hop classics. I’ve even been known to say it is better than Nas’s Illmatic or Dre’s The Chronic (which is nothing but a credit to […]

Happiness has a place in Hip-Hop. It can be expressed through dance, art, DJying and rapping. Wu-Tang affiliate and Sunz of Man member Killah Priest manifests an abstract vision of natural peace and joy with his new LP release Forest of the Happy Ever After.
