We wrap up the C-N-N coverage we begun all the way back in 2020 to take a look at Capone's solo work: A smattering of authentic storytelling & run-of-the-mill gun talk wrapped in very, very 00s production.

Whilst the music of C-N-N was pretty straight forward, N.O.R.E's solo work skews a little different. From mainstream 00s Hip-Hop to Reggaeton, N.O.R.E took his solo work as an opportunity to be more personal.

Onyx were trailblazers in various ways. From their grimey style to the bald heads, Onyx had an iconic aesthetic from the outset, a classic album out the gate and bangers everywhere you look.

In just five years, BROCKHAMPTON became a Hip-Hop comet, shooting by with seven albums and it could've been more! With those works, they went from free-wheeling Mixtape-sounding albums to more mature works lyrically and sonically. Its obvious that they couldn't have existed in previous eras but could it be done ever again?

The duo of Erick Sermon & Parrish Smith make up EPMD, one of the quintessential Hip-Hop acts in history. Iconic production to rival the greats and a discography that doesn't get talked about nearly enough.

KILLA. Whilst he's now in his talking head era - like most rappers it seems - Cam'ron was an ever-present voice in the 00s Hip-Hop scene. One could say his music is the perfect charting of where the 00s sound was at any given year, with his lyrical content staying steady in the good ol' "Money, hoes & drugs" bag.

The man who helped start Bad Boy Records, only to take himself out of it and eventually take himself out of music entirely, the life of Craig Mack is a sad one overall. His music left behind after his death in 2018 was serviceable, topped off with an iconic track of the 90s.
