Young Chris’ “Catch a Vibe” Sequel “Or a Bullet” is a Decent Companion With Moderate Production (EP Review)

Image
This is the 4th extended play from North Philadelphia, Pennsylvania rapper  Young Chris . A member of the State Property crew & 1/2 of the Young Gunz subunit, he has since dropped a total of 16 solo mixtapes as well as 3 extended plays & 2 collaborative projects within nearly 2 decades, with the Cardiak-produced  The Revival  being my personal favorite of the bunch. Coming off the drumless  Made in Philly  with MadeinTYO this spring &  Catch a Vibe  a couple weeks ago,  Or a Bullet  picks up right where the counterpart left off. Wale appears for the intro “Fly Talk” so they can spit braggadocio together over a old school boom bap beat whereas “Foreigns in the Trenches” featuring Phil Adé finds the pair talking about driving expensive cars around their respective hoods. “On My Soul” featuring Dave East , Freeway & Ransom leans toward a chipmunk soul vibe instrumentally referencing the late WWE Hall of Famer Muhammad Ali just before “The Golden Chile” soulfully...

Mayor Zohran Mamdani on SNAP Boost, City Grocery Stores & Election Day Breakdown

The Kid Mero sits down with NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Hot 97's Mornings with Mero to talk food access, SNAP expansion, city-run grocery stores, and what's on the ballot this election. In this interview, Mayor Mamdani announces an increased SNAP cap at farmers' markets — jumping from $10 to $14 starting in January — and breaks down how the city is fighting back against federal work rule changes that threaten benefits for thousands of New Yorkers, especially young Black and Latino men ages 18–24. He also gives an update on the plan to open city-run grocery stores in every borough, with the first location set for Hunts Point and another at La Marqueta in East Harlem by the end of next year. Plus, the Mayor walks through all five NYC ballot proposals — from cutting red tape for small businesses and nonprofits to fast-tracking street safety and affordable housing — and shares early voting details ahead of Election Day on November 3rd. 🔑 Topics covered: SNAP farmers' m...

Twiztid’s Physical Exclusive 18th LP “Monsters” Might Be MNE’s Best Release This Year (Album Review)

Here we have the physical exclusive 18th studio LP from Detroit, Michigan’s demented duo & Astronomicon founders Twiztid. Consisting of Jamie Madrox & Monoxide, they originally started out as part of the House of Krazees alongside childhood friend The R.O.C. in 1992 before their initial disbandment 5 years later. Almost immediately after, the Insane Clown Posse took Jamie & Mono under their wings by signing them to Psychopathic Records as who they’re known as today. They would become the label’s 2nd biggest act being their mentors off projects like  Mostasteless ,  Freek Show ,  Mirror Mirror ,  The Green Book ,  W.I.C.K.E.D. (Wish I Could Kill Every Day  &  Abominationz . Shortly after the latter was released, Twiztid left Psychopathic to form Majik Ninja Entertainment in 2014. Since then they’ve released 8 albums & 9 EPs on their own label, my favorites of which being...
