ICYMI, I wrote about my 20 favorite extended plays from 2025. Stay tuned for my albums list, which drops tomorrow around 10 AM EST.

Focus Hip Hop's Top 20 EPs of 2025 list is here. I had a lot of fun writing about these projects; I hope you enjoy reading and ideally discover something new that you like just as much as I do. #BestOf2025 #NewMusic #IndieRap #UndergroundHipHop focushiphop.com/2025/12/29/t...

I’ve been on both sides of the pen, mic, camera, have been denied by paywalls and disrespected by “media” people and personalities who feel their platform will do the work for them.

I’ve been doing this for a long time. I’ve seen it all, from having to write your own article for a site (yes that really happens) to writing articles about other artists for a publication and interviewing them on the radio.

I’ve taken random pieces here and included it in this post, but this is the kind of stuff we don’t see anymore. It’s not about the positive or negative, it’s about the thought that went into it. You can tell he actually cares.

This is the real work. Thank You @ognickmarsh.bsky.social Go here for the full article: focushiphop.com/2025/11/23/m... #blackliq #dubsonata #musicjournalism #focushiphop #hiphopjournalism #hiphophead #rva #nyc #nootherway #woftd

This is what music journalism looks like. @ognickmarsh.bsky.social has a blog called FocusHipHop.com and he recently did a write up on my album with @dubsonata.bsky.social “Much Given, Much Tested” and man it is everything an artist could ever want in terms of a commentary on their music.

This app dead than a mf i’m deleting this shit off my phone ✌🏽

will i ever forgive myself for fumbling the north african baddie with big boobies who spoke three languages and could play the piano and sing?

IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza. Truly an atrocity built on atrocity. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...
