Talib Kweli is one of the dopest MCs to ever pick up a mic. About three weeks ago, we celebrated the 15 year anniversary of his The Beautiful Struggle album. The overall album is dope and one of his tracks will be the featured Throwback Thursday track. Never Been in Love is the name of the track and it’s produced by the great Just Blaze. Never Been in Love is one of my favorite Talib Kweli track. When you put the production of Just Blaze with the lyrical flow of Kweli you have an instant hit. Never Been in Love is the second single from The Beautiful Struggle project. I’ve…
Biz Markie Just A Friend for Throwback Thursday
30 years ago today, Biz Markie released his second album The Biz Never Sleeps. Biz Markie was one of the pioneers of the original Golden Age of Hip Hop in the 1980s. Biz Markie was a part of the legendary Juice Crew alongside Big Daddy Kane, Kool G. Rap and Roxanne Shante. While Biz loves to play around, he’s one of the more talented musicians to grab the mic. The Biz Never Sleeps went on to go gold and the only single released from the album is my featured track. Just a Friend is my Throwback Thursday track and it’s a classic, catchy tune. Just a Friend eventually went platinum…

During that period, rumors swirled that they were an item. This was her fourth single from the track as it hit the streets…

Despite being busy, which I’m definitely not complaining about I’ll get back to the music part of things. When I first started, music and sports were probably my biggest passions along with family. I’ll continue to highlight anniversaries of classic hip hop and RnB albums, but there’s other music that’s not mainstream. Below is the video for I Ain’t Going from Southside Chicago native Romey. Southside Chicago Native Romey releases a music video to his first single “I…

New Track Called Conquer the World by Rod McCoy
As I stated last week, I’m going back to posting more music on the site because it seems like I’ve been too busy to acknowledge it. To those who are now becoming more familiar with Daddy’s Hangout, music is where I first started getting recognized before anything else and hip hop is something I’ve been addicted to for damn near thirty years now. For those who’s familiar with my love of music, then you know I’m a huge fan of Rod McCoy, who represents Atlanta, but he’s from Alabama and a huge fan of the Crimson Tide, who just finished winning another championship. I had to mention that because I…
