R'z Explains All

Alright before I get down to it I'd like to apologise for my lack of activity over the past month! I know its been a whole month since y'll last heard from me (I know you missed me) but like I've explained to the few people I know personally I been busy lately! Still let me knock the proverbial dust of my pen and get down to my latest review... Wiz Khalifa's Rolling Papers album.

Often publicised for his out the studio activities, the new york native rapper for the past few years been bludgeoning what would seem a path to critical acclaim and notoriety. In between a few scrapes with law enforcement, other rappers and the usual disputes with label bosses Saigon has remained determined in his quest to be mentioned among the new wave of rappers emerging in the 21st century. As mentioned before no stranger to controversy, Saigon has spent time in jail, seen footage of him punching Prodigy of Mobb Deep hit the net and also managed to engineer a release from former label Atlantic whilst keep 100% of his publishing. A Busy man indeed, however in 2007 the hip hop industry was nearly robbed of future endevours for this undoubtedly talented artist when rumours on the Internet surfaced that he had QUIT... An attem
