Happy Birthday!
In this new segment, The Roshua Review would like to slow down and celebrate life in the Hip-Hop stratosphere. In an environment where death gets so much attention, it would be wise to appreciate that so many artists are still living. April and May were home to many artists’ birthdays, and most of them had strong impacts on the culture of rap. So many birthday wishes to Juicy J, Biz Markie, Pharrell, David Banner, Akon, Havoc, MC Eiht, the late Heavy D, Lauryn Hill, Travis Scott, Q-Tip, Melle Mel, the late Notorious BIG, DJ Drama, Redman, Suge Knight, Dame Dash, DJ Premier, Ghostface Killah, Pusha-T, RobBase, Busta Rhymes, the late Left Eye, Andre 3000, Jadakiss, Cee-Lo Green, D.M.C., the late Chris Lighty, and Remy Ma!
This year marks the anniversaries of countless classic albums. There were many in April and May alone. Since we’ve wished happy birthday to the aforementioned artists, it’s time we do the same for the following albums.
