I’d like to give a big shout out to my homie Kirk – aka “The Captain” – for hollering at me out of nowhere to recommend Celph Titled & Buckwild’s new album “Nineteen Ninety Now.” I almost didn’t download this shit, because I thought I had grown tired of nineties era throwback albums. But in reality, I guess I just grew tired of WACK nineties era throwback albums.

Celph Titled & Buckwild received the most plays in my iPod this week. In fact, this is pretty much all I listened to all week. Click the links below to check out some of their music:

1. Album of the Week: “Nineteen Ninety Now“
2. Video of the Week: Mad Ammo
3. Quotable of the Week: I Could Write A Rhyme
4. Track of the Week: Miss Those Days

I normally don’t post nostalgic hip-hop songs that talk about some past golden era of hip-hop. I guess I’ve just got tired of them, as it seems like every emcee these days makes a throwback track. But I made an exception for this week’s track of the week. Celph Titled & Buckwild’s Miss Those Days is an ode to hip-hop from the ’90s, and is a good example of the duo’s direction in their new throwback album “Nineteen Ninety Now.”

Something about this track just makes me feel relaxed, and the theme hits well for me this time of year, as everybody starts to reminisce about the end of the decade. Click below to listen to Celph Titled & Buckwild’s Miss Those Days:

This week’s hip-hop quotable is I Could Write A Rhyme, a track from Celph Titled & Buckwild’s “Nineteen Ninety Now” – which has been bumping on my iPod all week. While there are several songs I could feature from this week’s album, I picked this track because I have a thing for well done autobiographical songs. I Could Write A Rhyme uses three dope verses to tell the story of Celph Titled’s beginnings in hip-hop, as well as his rise to his current position.

Celph Titled & Buckwild “Nineteen Ninety Now” Album Review
Celph Titled & Buckwild’s “Nineteen Ninety Now” is the perfect album for this type of year. Since I spend the majority of the year covering serious hip-hop, I always find myself around December thirsting for some of that fun, battle-ish, masculine braggadocio type of shit I used to listen to back in high school. That type of hip-hop feeds into the nostalgia of the end of the year, and gives me party bumps to play during New Year’s Eve celebrations. Luckily, Celph Titled & Buckwild’s ’90s era throwback album “Nineteen Ninety Now” hit the top of my review stack right in time for this December mode I’m in. (more…)

Big ups to BeatRoot for sending this one over. Fahrenheit is a track from Soul Khan’s (of Brown Bag All Stars) upcoming album “Soul Like Khan” – which will be available for FREE download in November. For now, you can download the track for FREE here.

These cats sent me their new single 4 BK 4 Eva for feature consideration about a week ago. I liked the track so much that I ended up listening to their entire “The Grey-Area” album this weekend, and definitely recommend the FREE download. Vegas is a Brooklyn-based emcee, and Kil is a Philly-based beatmaker. Click below to download Vegas & Kil’s “The Grey-Area” for FREE:

I came across Masai Bey a couple years ago when he dropped “The Panacea Goldmind” on NYC-based Uncommon Records – an album that made my top indie releases of ’06 list. I’ve kinda lost track of him since then, but was amped to see this freebie hit my inbox. “Collector’s Bey” is a compilation of the best of Masai Bey, including exclusive unreleased tracks, freestyles and live audio.
