Roc Marciano & The Alchemist – ‘The Elephant Man’s Bones’ [Review]

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Burak Cingi / Getty Roc Marciano occupies an essential place in the modern Hip-Hop landscape and his contributions, especially over the past 12 years, are well established. As one of the few Hip-Hop artists who doesn’t need to seek outside production, Roc Marci’s new album with The Alchemist, The Elephant Man’s Bones, adds to the pair’s rich legacies collaboratively and apart. Roc Marciano and The Alchemist are no strangers to one another. Alchemist and Marc notably began working with one another in 2012 on the Reloaded album, an important release in the Hempstead, Long Island, N.Y. rapper’s catalog. The connection established over a decade ago still stands strong and anticipation that the two would lock in for a full project remained high for years. It g...

The 30 Best Albums of 2021

Back in June, SPIN published The 30 Best Albums of 2021 (So Far), rounding up everything from mainstream rock to experimental hip-hop. Six months later, we’re back with our year-end recap — and it’s interesting how, even though the stylistic balance has stayed consistent, the picks themselves haven’t. While this list also covers a lot of ground, only six of those earlier records wound up in our final tally. Below, you’ll find massive R&B collaborations (Silk Sonic), trendy pop breakouts (Olivia Rodrigo), big-ticket indie-rock (The War on Drugs), prog-metal giants (Mastodon), and acclaimed indie-rap (Benny the Butcher & Harry Fraud). Looking back at Pandemic Year Number Two, when the music industry forecast seemed to shift on a daily basis, perhaps these changes are only fittin...

Snoop Dogg to Host TOKiMONSTA, A$AP Rocky, More for Virtual 4/20 Celebration

There’s no better excuse for a cozy couch kickback than the fast approaching 4/20, a day unofficially dedicated to all things cannabis. Luckily, TOKiMONSTA, A$AP Rocky, Jhene Aiko and more have got you covered with the Even Higher Together Virtual 420 Celebration, hosted by Snoop Dogg.  Featuring an array of curated content certain to fight through the fog, the event is made possible by Weedmaps, a platform that connects cannabis consumers with retailers for an Uber Eats-like experience.  Last Prisoner Project, a non-profit dedicated to cannabis criminal justice reform, has also invited activists who were previously incarcerated for marijuana-related crimes for a Justice Session panel, moderated by iconic rapper and activist Talib Kweli. Meanwhile, Wiz Khalifa will hos...

Freddie Gibbs Rings Up Rick Ross in Theatrical ‘Scottie Beam’ Video

Freddie Gibbs and the Alchemist’s Alfredo has already been hailed as one of the best records of 2020 — thanks to some of the stickiest bars of the year — and its visuals only hammer that in more. The duo released their latest video for standout album cut “Scottie Beam” on Wednesday, which shows Gibbs pulled over in a convertible as an officer draws a gun on him. Gibbs holds his own and escapes the life-or-death situation before Rick Ross sees Gibbs’ face plastered on a TV screen and calls him up. The two rappers link up at Ross’ place as Ross throws some cash Gibbs’ way, sends him off and dives into his unforgettable verse off the critically acclaimed record (“My pistol polished, any problems, I’ma pull that ho/Peter Parker, but I’ve yet to reach my pinnacle”). “Scottie Beam...
