Emerging in the early 1990s as a laid-back voice from the West Coast, Snoop has grown into something far larger than a rapper—he is now widely regarded as an elder statesman of the genre, a figure whose presence bridges generations and styles within hip-hop. Snoop Dogg’s rise began under the mentorship of Dr. Dre, whose landmark album The Chronic introduced the world to Snoop’s unmistakable voice and fluid delivery. At a time when hip-hop was becoming more aggressive and hard-edged, Snoop brought a…

Prince needed Diamonds and Pearls, his 13th studio album, to be a hit. His 1990 film, Graffiti Bridge, was a colossal flop that ended his movie career. Its soundtrack album of the same name did spawn some modest hits, but Prince was used to superstardom, and he would settle for nothing less.Diamonds and Pearls can be seen as a career reboot. For the first time since the demise of the Revolution, Prince gave his backing band co-credit, billing the album to Prince and the New Power Generation. The group’s lineup would change between 1991 and 2013, but the original members were…

The intention behind DJ BAD THA PROBLEM’s collection of poetry was not considered being pretty or heartwarming. In his latest book,  B.A.D.  Born  After  Destruction:  A  Collection  of Poetry, released on May 4th, during Mental Health Awareness Month, and published by CERTIFIED  HITz  Music  Group, the  poetry book announces its intentions from the beginning.

The narrative…
