Classic New York hip-hop has been on the come up again with recent reunions of groups like Dipset, The LOX and G-Unit, but it was Queens crew Onyx who delivered a full LP first. The group’s sixth studio project, #WakeDaFucUp, is a hard-hitting album that takes the listener on a wild adventure through the harsh realities of living in Southside, Queens. Produced entirely by the Snowgoons, the album’s 14 tracks include features from more.
