Big Boi — Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors
Hip Hop/Rap
Ryan Querbach
Atlanta rapper and one-half the legendary duo Outkast, Big Boi has released his new solo project, Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors. It’s far from a typical hip-hop album; every song has a different feel to it, sometimes even stepping outside of the genre.
Myke Brown — Don’t Forget the Y
Hip Hop/Rap
Joshua Boydston
If Norman’s Myke Brown keeps making music as good as he does in Don’t Forget the Y, Myke with a Y is sure to be a household name.

Hip Hop/Rap
Matt Carney

Off-court courting

Recording artist Keri Hilson, known for her sexiness and power collaborations (Nelly, R. Kelly and Kanye West), appears to be hot ’n’ heavy these days with Serge Ibaka, OKC Thunder’s power forward. A few weeks ago, Hilson celebrated her birthday in Bricktown after the Thunder’s trouncing of the Los Angeles Lakers at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Straight outta high school
Local rapper Kulprit D comes of age in the hip-hop game with his latest project.

Louis Fowler
How did Eazy-E get his nickname? What about Dr. Dre or Ice Cube or any other master MC with a moniker? Chances are few of them got it as part of a misunderstanding at high school.
T.I. — Trouble Man: Heavy Is the Head
Hip Hop/Rap
Ryan Querbach
Atlanta rapper T.I. has released Trouble Man: Heavy Is the Head, his eighth studio album and the first since his most recent stint in prison. The title is no doubt a reference to his legal troubles on federal weapons charges, but it also makes reference to the Marvin Gaye song of the same name, which is sampled in the album’s opening track.
