As the snow pours down outside, we're taking it back to the classics. No, not old-school classics (what do you think this is? Just Buggin'?) but rather good joints from guys like Mos Def, Outkast and Heiroglyphics. Plus a Slikour triple play, brand new Lyrics Born and some Doc Syntax. In case you catch cold, obviously.

J.Cole's Friday Night Lights has landed. Our take? It's aight. We drop Villematic, plus that mad joint I'm Coming Home (Diddy who?) And if you think that was the only album launch last week, best believe that Alchemist and Oh No want a word. They're known as Gangrene. They rock.

Celph Titled + Buckwild = Good combo. For the former's debut album, he recruited the latter's beats - all made in the mid-90s - and created one of the most surprisingly fresh records of this year. We have one hell of a triple play! And of course, that J Cole is getting a work out. Who cares if it was a 'reference' track for Puff Daddy? Cole rocks.
