#MusicChallenge 25 years of Mr. Lif "Enters The Colossus." 1st listen to his debut EP? Also the first non-single on Def Jux? Visions of what was to come. Lif's humor and wordplay are in place. Beats hit the right stride of reverential and forward-looking. There's a dope Boston hidden cut. Dig this:

#MusicChallenge 10 years of Rapper Big Pooh & Nottz "Home Sweet Home." 1st listen. Hard/soulful beats and hard/soulful rhymes. Too many weird midsong fadeouts that seem to be part of the album are a turnoff. Enjoy the banging soul of this one:

#MusicChallenge 10 years of Redman "Mudface." 1st listen. This is a fun, compact album. Redman of course has charisma for days and plenty of bars. Beats are by committee and mostly solid except for a few swings at a current sound. He's still got skits but generally tolerable. Love this tribute:
