photo by David Lichterman Foals have accompanied their electronic crescendo filled track "Bad Habit" off their most recent album Holy Fire with a video that's fit for big screen. Wandering through the desert after a siren like woman, singer Yanis Philippakis is desperate for something more than water. Slowly the illusions crumble and he is left with a million grains of sand and only himself for company. [ Stereogum ] Two [...]
When I was a kid, Adult Swim meant Cartoon Network's late-night anime and weird cartoon line-up. However, the brand quickly became intertwined with up-and-coming music when it got musicians like Flying Lotus to contribute music to their signature bumpers . Then there was the Danger Doom album which featured lots of Aqua Team Hunger Force samples (which, I think, were kinda annoying in an otherwise fantastic album). Now, paired with Williams Street Records, Adult Swim has been putting out albums by a few artists (Dethklok, Killer Mike) but mainly fantastic compilations, most notable the Singles Project. The [...]

Photos by Doug Bleggi - Special thanks to Chris Maguire Danny Brown has been blowing up on everyone's feed since he allegedly received unsolicited fellatio on stage from a female fan in Minneapolis on April 26. But in reality the Detroit rapper should have been getting mainstream notice for quite some time considering he's one of the dopest rappers on the planet. Whether or not the incident could be considered sexual assault or not is still one for debate - his opening act, the chipper blog-princess Kitty (formally Kitty [...]
If "keeping it real" still matters at all in hip-hop, Kitty (formerly Pryde) ceremoniously dismantled the notion that she doesn't this week when she published a mini-treatise on the complicated politics of sexual assault. Yet regardless of her consistently brainy web engagement, she continues to be regarded as merely a meme. Before her piece hit the web, we had plans to talk to her about exactly that: Her status as a serious rapper and how she got to be where she is, despite a lot of naysaying. Read our interview below, where she and I discuss her friendship [...]
Before he disappeared into the bottom of the glass he was sipping from, I got a text from Trees stating he was ready to "bury" some of the recent sentiments expressed regarding the Danny Brown on-stage blowjob incident in Minneapolis a few days back. In the meantime, Kitty formerly-known-as Pryde, who's opening for Danny on this tour (this Thursday at the Middle East , so JK tells me), [...]
Danny Brown and Kitty (née Pryde) have been on the road together for the Old And Reckless Tour for about a week. It was reported that at their Minneapolis date last Friday a female attendee hopped on stage, pulled down Brown's pants, and briefly attempted to perform oral sex on the rapper. It's been commented on with both shock and awe. Kendrick Lamar tweeted excitedly at Brown, while Minneapolis' alt-weekly CityPages wrote negatively about the incident. When you consider Brown's devil-may-care persona and how often and virulently he raps about performing oral [...]

Florida rapper and walking thinkpiece generator Kitty has dropped a new song. And like her home state, "Florida" is warm, relaxed and somewhat off-kilter. Hot Sugar 's beat is so languid and twinkly it's almost nonexistent, letting Kitty's feathery rhymes breeze along. The rapper treads her usual territory on the track, with lyrics about self-doubt and escaping her eminently normal existence ("I don't think I'll make it hangin' here another day / I wanna get spirited away"). There's nothing here to suggest the song will convert anyone in the anti-Kitty camp (which, we're happy to [...]
Mettiamola da subito così, che lo so che tornare su un'artista forse diciottenne per la seconda volta in due anni senza un lp prodotto ma una manciata tra ep e mixtape é pretenzioso e stupido, soprattutto se ancora non hai scritto due righe sui Mogwai, Nick Cave, Justin Timberlake. Scrivere di Kitty però é una cosa che sentivo troppo di fare, mica per altro, perché da un mese che il mio lettore abbia una capienza di otto giga é superfluo, data la montematicità degli ascolti. Insoma riassumendola da trama da film lei si chiama Kitty Pryde in onore [...]
Her name is Kitty Pryde. I mean, Kitty. And, today, Nardwuar finds out a bit more about her. Like how she likes punk t-shirts, how she used to have a thing for Ska, and how she made out with a dude who looked like Obi-Wan Kenobi after drinking Mike's Hard Lemonade. I honestly haven't listened to much of this girl's music, but the interview that ensues is rather hysterical. Check it out below.
On April 17th, we're bringing you guys one of our favorite line ups yet! Florida based rapper/heart-breaker Kitty Pryde will headline the night in support of her recent EP "D.A.I.S.Y. Rage". If you won't take my word for it, maybe you'll trust Danny Brown who co-signed for Kitty and her double-time rhyming skills. The EP also features Das Racist affiliate Lakutis who is also on the bill to open the night up. Los Angeles duo Penthouse Penthouse [...]
Kitty Pryde is one hot mess of an act. She has "been a bitch since 973, and hails from Daytona Beach... I wouldn't count on that being legitimate information though, and feel free to do some of your own research. Her branding is frustratingly inconsistent. "But that's the point, doy " - yes, thanks for making things easier for us. The show was good, and it helps that she is damn cute. Missing tones, screwing up, and acting unprofessional on stage are all part of the act; it was quite charming. Kitty is definitely [...]

Remember that adorable little kid from Danny Brown's excellent video for "Grown Up"? Well Dante Hoagland is back and once again stealing the spotlight, as he recently interviewed Kitty (formerly known as Kitty Pryde) for Scion AV's Open Mic Series. The video, which was filmed before one of Kitty's concerts this past fall, features the two discussing how Kitty started rapping, whether her mom approves of her nose ring and giggling about Kitty's rumored crush on Danny Brown. The interview is 2 minutes of cuteness overload, regardless of how you feel about [...]
For the past few months, Scion AV has been bringing some of hip-hop's hottest acts to venues all over NYC as part of their Open Mic Series . Back in September, the young female heat-seeker then-known as Kitty Pryde (I really do wonder if Disney/Marvel finally gave her a call) performed at Brooklyn's The Paper Box. Prior to the gig, however, she sat down with a interview with Dante Hoagland, the miniature Danny Brown from last summer's video for "Grown Up" . In a dose of double adorableness, the two dish about [...]
