Top Sinnaz

***If 2025 is the year hip-hop left the pop charts, 2026 is the year Top Sinnaz light a torch that shows the way forward, with five hood sagas straight from East Orange, New Jerusalem. Delivered with intensity, melody, and a firm grasp of the past, present, and future—from the street, from the soul, from starving mouths raised on Sink Water and Wonder Bread.

Those lucky enough to cop the scarce copies of the Jadakiss-blessed promo got their ears handed to them, and were left stuttering hallowed names like Dilla and DOOM, Prodigy and Nas to anyone that would listen. Here at last is the official release: “Peasants” pulls no punches, you’re dropped into the slums where even Newark’s lights are too far away for salvation; Pythf and Rae trade rapid verses and Bone Thug inflected harmony over the blunted horns on “Attendance”; while producer Drunk Dodgers unfurls a quiet storm on “Poverty” that haunts like the bass thumps from an Eldorado peeling out in the rain.

This is your introduction to the Mills Brothers Empire, and they're just getting warmed up. Fuck around and find out.
