If you know me, chances are you’re aware that I’m an avid reader of Chris Faraone. However, for some awful reason, The Providence Phoenix barely prints record reviews or anything hip-hop related that isn’t penned by Chris Conti anymore.

Unfortunately, yes I did. I planned to write quarterly reviews of all the music I had been listening to throughout the year, but I ended up accumulating so many albums that I didn’t even have a chance to listen to them all until the new year had passed. However, an ass-load of what I did [...]
