Credit: Photo: Elizabeth Gillis The first thing I noticed as Cypress Hill strolled into NPR headquarters was Sen Dog cradling his signature bucket hat. I asked him if my assumptions were correct; it was indeed the original hat seen in all the videos from the early '90s.

Last week, we found out Jadakiss will headline Hip-Hop Week MKE, and today we got another big announcement — this time from True Skool, which has lined up Arrested Development for its 2023 Summer Park Jam. The event is a two-day affair at the Marcus Performing Arts Center, […]

Between the 2018 and 2019 installments, Megan Thee Stallion, RZA, Ghostface, Mystikal and the godfather of hip-hop himself, DJ Kool Herc, all made appearances.

In the mist of our discussion, I had to acknowledge that Iniko has shifted the sound and expectations of the industry, creating a movement of artists who share their stories through visuals and sounds normally reserved for movie goers. Iniko's audiences seek more ambient sounds and expect more abstract […]

In a hip hop landscape dominated by male artists, Flyana Boss is a refreshing and electrifying force that demands attention. This female hip hop duo has the visual creativity of Missy Elliott, energy of Busta Rhymes, the unapologetic swagger of City Girls, and the boundary-pushing innovation of OutKast. When taking in visuals from the group what you will quickly notice is their bold lyricism, and their team's knack for viral songs and […]
