"In the spirit of fun here is our take on A$AP Rocky's "Purple Swag". The beat is produced by Jim-E Stack (@ Jimestack1 ). We blended Mike Jones "Still Tipping" together with the track in order to enhance the feel of the song and capture the chopped and screwed vibe. We will be releasing a lot of new music this coming week. Look out for the The Sunset LP , coming soon..." - Sound FX
If you were born in the 902s like I was, you were born in arguably the happiest period for music. Hip-Hop was in it's golden age, funk was still around, Michael Jackson was still the icon of pop music, Tupac and Biggie were still alive and things were just...better. Then came the new millenium and as Hip-Hop and rap fell down the drain due to artists such as Soulja Boy somehow making platinum records, electronic music started making its rise in America. Thankfully, these electronic artists remember the golden era of the nineties and can remind us all of a [...]
I wish I had enough for you to do the good ol' three in one shindig today but I only have one thing for you at the moment. Perhaps, or perhaps not... I've had so many Christmas Parties, concerts, lunch meetings, family gatherings, finals etc. that I just haven't had a single spare moment for [...]

A couple of weeks ago I was excited to mark Fistful Of Mercy's debut album off of my wishlist for only $1.99 and I've been trying to decide what I think about it ever since. To be perfectly honest, I keep going back and forth with my feelings about it, hence me taking weeks to [...]

In the liner notes to Bob Dylan's 1993 record, World Gone Wrong , he gives a play-by-play look and commentary into it's ten songs. Well, sort of. In a few pages of a CD booklet he divulges his sources and interprets the meaning of the songs - mostly traditional folk and blues tunes, all old, and for the most part pretty dark - all the while riffing a free association into a look at something that Greil Marcus called "the old, weird America." Here's a sample. Dylan's talking about a Civil War ballad, called "Two [...]
