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 to measure an album’s front-to-back ability. We went out and got a new stereo system with a multi-disc changer, and loaded it up with the new arrivals to see which can actually be enjoyed throughout, and which ones were better off as EPs. This is a new thing that we’re doing, so grow with us, and please leave comments…
The rating system is as follows.
Let It Ride: Just press play and relax…A near perfect LP
Breathe & Stop: A couple joints here, a couple joints there…But overall a solid LP
One & Done: There maybe a hit single here, but not much else…
In this edition we pop in new music from Josh Martinez, Restavrant, One Day As A Lion, Charles Hamilton, Common Market, and Brazilian Girls. Check out the reviews below.

Man, it's been a while since a new Front to Back column, but the wait is over as Front to Back is, well, back. In Vol 4 we sit on The Stoop with Little Jackie, hit Maximum Strength with KRS, See Sounds with N*E*R*D, work through a case of Shell Shock with Rock of Heltah Skeltah, and take a bite out of some Delicious Vinyl... |

This week our single-slinger, Lizza Luv, decided it would be a good idea to review new songs that have a vintage vibe, as well as a couple older tracks that seem to sound like they’re back from the future. I don't know what gave her that idea...but she turned in the article, so I'll run with it... Lizza says she liked every song in the bunch this week...I'd like to get whatever she's smoking, cause I definitely disagree with her on some tracks. Anyway, Lizza justifies her picks in this week's installment of Luv'em or Leave'em, as she checks out joints from Blu, Kid Cudi, Common, Bow Wow, and Saigon... |

It's the 'internet era', with new songs leaking on a daily basis on the worldwide web. Some are good, some are not, and to help you navigate, RH has brought on Lizza Luv. In this new weekly review section, Lizza will let you know which songs you should love, and which songs you should just leave alone. Some tracks she loves a lot, some only at the right time, and some just don't get any affection. While you don't have to love what Lizza loves, it is highly recommended by 7 out of 15 doctors...and that's nearly half! Today, Lizza starts the column off with looks at tracks by The Roots, Donny Goines, T.I., Nelly, and Wale...Check it out! |
