Roc Marciano – Marcberg Album Review
This is Critical Beatdown for 2010. While it doesn’t exactly share any similarities in terms of the beat science presented, Marcberg is a game-changer. Much like the impact of Ultramagnetic MC’s long-awaited debut, you’ve never really heard an album like this before. No guest producers, over-used hooks or any type of traditional song-structure for that…
Hard White – The New NWA?
Far Rockaway, Queens doesn’t have the most distinguished rap legacy so far, unless you consider Father MC to be one of the best ever. Turns out that there’s a crew out there called Hard White who are dropping some seriously anti-social, ignorant rap shit – just the way we like it here at Unkut Dot…
Did Prodigy Just Fire A Shot At Curtis?
Even though I posted this track already, this album has been getting constant attention in the car all week, and I couldn’t help but notice Prodigy‘s verbal swipe at his former boss at the start of his verse: ‘You outta your mind, you’re not feeling this hot shit/ Who got rich and stopped trying? You…

One of the latest additions to NYC indie Duck Down Records’ expanding roster of well-respected lyricists, Louis Freese, 38, made his official debut in February after releasing three Gunslinger mixtapes….
Kyron aka Solo (Screwball) – The Unkut Interview
Best known as a member of Screwball and for the controversial ‘Who Shot Rudy?’ single, Queensbridge legend Kyron is plotting his return to the rap game after an extended hiatus (due primarily to being on the lam for several years). Despite the sudden, tragic loss of his long-time rhyme partner K.L. earlier this year, Kyron…
LL Cool J – The Unkut Interview
Photo: Janette Beckman I only got twenty minutes to kick it with LL, but who’s complaining? It’s safe to say he appreciated getting a quick break from answering questions about his favorite flavor of ice cream and how many stomach crunches he does every morning. In many ways he’s the blueprint that everyone from Biggie…
Sadat X – Generation X Album Review
Everyone’s favorite baldhead returns with his first LP since his ‘extended vacation’. ‘Now’ feat. Twan The first of a bunch of 80’s beat reinterpretations, album producer Will Tell flips ‘The Pee Wee Herman’ for Dat’s tales of chasing broads. ‘This Is Your Life’ Over some dope horns Sadat details the history of his time with…

Ten Reasons Why H.N.I.C 2 Might Be The Album of The Year
No doubt you’ve been following Prodigy ‘s antics in recent times. In between his usual antics, “Field Marshal P” has gone and followed-up the surprisingly enjoyable Return Of The Mac with H.N.I.C. 2, which I assumed was gonna be a pile of steaming horse shit. Turns out it’s one of the most entertaining records I’ve…
Nutrageous – Raw Nuts Review
Photo by Kristina Hill Flushing has already produced some outstanding rappers, and Nut-Rageous continues that tradition with this entertaining collection of some of his vinyl releases and some new tracks. A lot of his tracks remind me of dope mid-90s indy stuff, but not on some throwback tip. Nut adds his own twist to all…
