Artist Of The Week - Jav aka Rapmononov

It’s 4:30am on Saturday, December 20th. Rakim and Black Thought are long gone as the final Hip-Hop show at the Knitting Factory in NYC ended nearly an hour earlier. Now the only people left are the staff, a few select friends, and me. Chaz Kangas and I decide to give ourselves the grand tour...

RapReviews Top Ten of 2008
You could piece together my top ten rap albums of 2008 by going through my five part Top 25 Albums of 2008 series, but since that would take some effort RapReviews decided to make your life easier (wasn’t that nice of them?) by putting up my list of top rap albums from the year that was.

 Artist Of The Week – Farchild
Artist Of The Week – Farchild
Influenced by everyone from Nine Inch Nails to Lauryn Hill, Farchild is an artist who defies categorization. Her debut album, Chivalry Has Died, is a testament to what can happen when a person refuses to allow themselves to be boxed in by genre specifications. According to Farchild, “I’d be...

We have reached the top ten of 2008 and boy what a mix we have here. Two talented emcees, a rock band with a great sense of humor and songwriting ability, an Estonian pop singer and an artist that’s a little bit country make up albums 10-6 in this year’s top ten.
