OUR PLAYLIST i Kendrick Lemar No Type Rae Sremmurd Hit Em Migos T pain Stociville Here's the hip hop on our playlist this month: Blood Moon: Year of The Wolf, The Game's sixth studio release, immediately identifies everything his fans love him for. He's an aggressive individual, delivering lines such as "I'm the black Marshall Mathers" on the explosive opener 'Bigger Than Me', showing the rapper's persistent confidence in himself. Not many can back up statements of superiority over 2pac or The Notorious B.I.G., but The Game comes pretty close. Blood Moon might not eclipse the acclaim of The Documentary or Doctor's Advocate, but it certainly has enough variety, aggression and supreme bars for hip-hop heads to keep spinning it all year. ALBUM OF THE MONTH THE GAME - BLOOD MOON: YEAR OF THE WOLF The West Coast rapper's sixth studio release shows signs of a resurgening career. ARTIST OF THE MONTH FLIPTRIX The High Focus leader is having an insane end to the year HIP HOP LEGENDS RUN-DMC It's been just over 30 years since Run-DMC changed the face of Hip-Hop It's been just over 30 years since Run- DMC released their seminal track 'It's Like That'. It's the track that marked a change in the order of things: the move away from the more upbeat old school hip hop of Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five to more cynical lyrics and vocally aggressive music. The success of the track pushed the group to release their eponymous debut album in 1984 that included ground-breaking hits such as 'Jam-Master Jay' and 'Hard Times', as well as the highly influential, platinum certified 'Rock Box', which paved the way for future Hip-Hop/Rock fusions. It was also the first rap video to air on MTV. Their most famous contribution to music was of course 'Walk This Way', a defining track of the 80s and one which not only put hip-hop firmly in the mainstream but also resurrected Aerosmith's career! If you know anything about the hip hop scene in the UK, you will know about High Focus. The label have been leading the way for UK hip hop for over 4 years now, and at the centre of all this is Fliptrix, the Head Honcho of HF records and an amazing rapper in his own right. 16 Issue 69 / 2014 HIPHOP / RNB guestlist.net More @ guestlist.net/rnb-hiphop
