With summer in the rearview, we keep it moving like the Tribe did, gearing up for what has shaped up to be a very well stacked fall season in hip-hop.
Even without the perennially delayed, don't-hold-your-breath set - mythical and epic spectres like Dre's Detox, 50's Before I Self Destruct, Big Boi's Sir Lucious Leftfoot, Lil Wayne's Rebirth and a rumored Relapse sequel - some of the most beloved rappers from both the old generation and the next are finally ready to release long-gestating opuses for consumption. The anticipation is so thick, you can almost feel it in the air.
For a pair of freshman at the top of their class, the next few months will mark a critical rite of passage; and for three veterans of a different era, new albums signal a precarious shift into the golden years.
We foreshadowed the season when the year was young, we soundtracked the summer and we even served up a special prelude. Now it's game time. Raekwon, Wale, Clipse, Ghostface, Kid Cudi, Lupe Fiasco and Jay-Z are coming. Don't sleep.
