Baseball stars such as Carlos Lee, and Jermaine Dye are just two of the 99 that have hit homeruns in their first major league at bats. While they have followed up their debut dingers with many other homerun trots, clutch RBI’s, and built solid careers, countless other hitters such as Bill Roman and Andre David...
It’s the end of 2008, and everybody and their mom has come out with a ‘year-end list’ detailing their favorite artists, albums, songs etc. We went back and forth about whether or not to do our own, and decided, what the heck. So, we present our own 2008 Best of List with some categories...
Donny Goines is not exactly new to the RH pages. We’ve featured a slew of his music, as well as a Freestyle In The Park with Charles Hamilton. But, we’ve never truly taken an in-depth look at our homie from Harlem. Fortunately for us, our boy Kosha Dillz linked up with Donny Goines for our...
Atlanta’s underground’s got much more than Hip Hop…they also have Fishhawk, an up and coming band that fuses elements of rock, funk, and psychedelics and does it all sans a live drummer. The bands next album, Bells Underwater, will be released next year, and we caught up with the trio of Matt, Nick and Andy...
“The idea here is sort of that the music speaks for itself,” says Max, one half of the Star Trak signed Chester French. “We’d sort of prefer people know the music before they know anything about us. That way they can judge it as music, without biases.” So far, we know this much of Max...
For a fella out of the NYC scene, I come across a lot of emcees who don’t paint pictures. A man named P.Casso grabs you for that very reason with his “Earth tone king” motto. I gotta say. That is one thing I can’t claim. As kings sit in earth tone thrones, P.Casso found himself...
Phil G. scored a Chicago hit with “So Nuts”, a Really Doe and Que Billah assisted joint in which Phil lets loose on emcees without the necessary skills and talents to correctly label themselves as such. “I’m so sick of ya, bulls**t material, I hope you whack rappers catch crabs or chlamydia,” he raps. While...
Keelay & Zaire came on the RH radar with the release of “The Times” featuring Blu, Fortilive and Nino Moschella. After doing some digging on the Cali production duo out of the Sole Vibe camp, we decided to put the microscope to them in the latest edition of RH First Look.
How many times has an artist, regardless of genre, age, and skill said something that resembles, ‘man, you can just listen to this album front to back.’ We’ve all heard it, and here at Ruby Hornet, we don’t trust anyone. So, instead of taking these artists at their word, we’ve come up with a way...
Kosher Dillz returns to RH First Look for a second week in a row. This week Mr. Dillz turns the RubyHornet microscope on Bedstuy’s Sav Killz. The two talk Wu-Tang, education vs. knowledge, and do some fill in the blans, all while getting you hip to Sav. Check it out below.
