We’ve got about three hours left in 2011, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to sneak a couple more posts in before the new year begins. For the third installment of The Fresh Heir’s “Year in Review” Series, I proudly present the Top 20 Hip-Hop Projects of 2011 First things first – why not … Continue reading »
For Part Two of The Fresh Heir’s “Year in Review” posts, I proudly present the Top 40 Hip-Hop Songs of 2011. I couldn’t settle on a number – I started with 25, but then it slowly crept up to 30, then 35, and at last I decided that 40 sounded nice. Why not go radio … Continue reading »
There is absolutely nothing like an Odd Future concert. I promise you, there is nothing. I saw OF for the first time back in May when they made their first-ever stop in Boston as part of their six city North American tour.

I don’t care what anyone else says, I’m pumped for Watch the Throne. A couple weeks ago it was a different story. I’m a huge Kanye fan and Jay-Z is a legend in his own right, but after hearing “H.A.M.” a while back, I was pretty unimpressed with the first product of the collaborative effort. … Continue reading »

After Drake announced a couple of days ago that he and The Weeknd have a single releasing sometime in the next two weeks, the R&B crooner delivered his own rendition of Drake’s Trust Issues. Plain and simple, this guy is incredible. He and Frank Ocean are without a doubt changing the face of R&B, … Continue reading »
I haven’t decided yet if this is going to be a weekly column/post/whatever you want to call it or what, but Tyler and the gang are constantly making headlines so I figure instead of posting a thousand separate items a week, I might as well combine them all into one. I already posted about the … Continue reading »
