Rose Lilah May 11, 2014 Original Content As the evolution of Hip-Hop continues to ascend into higher heights in the music industry, it seems that R&B is slowly but surely losing its soulful edge and assimilating more into the Hip-Hop genre. These days the rappers are "singing", and the singers are trying to rap. The question is, what happened along the way? We do some digging to answer that question.

Trevor Smith March 28, 2014 Original Content From what was initially a neighbourhood-based cultural practice, Hip-Hop has permeated societal culture in an unprecedented way.

Trevor Smith April 26, 2014 Original Content Many rappers came to prominence first as part of a group ( i.e. EPMD, Public Enemy, N.W.A., Wu-Tang Clan, and the list goes on). As time progressed, the concept (or rather unity) of the group would take a backseat to the individual. Whether it be the fans picking out whichever member they prefer, or whether there is that one particular member standing out amongst the rest (i.e. Andre 3000), the seeds were planted for one individual to embark on their own into the hip-hop wilderness. In light of this, has the nail been placed in the coffin, or is there still a bit of life left in the group concept?
