Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Q + A Gary Wolstenholme, Redferns After '90's rockers the Afghan Whigs announced their reunion as part of New York's upcoming ATP festival back in December, the band slowly unrolled a string of international dates, celebrating their 25th anniversary by tearing down New York's Bowery Ballroom on May 23, and subsequently kicking ass from Athens to Tel Aviv. Touring a set which spans [...]
In a music industry where it’s the norm for bands to implode and artists to spiral into self-parody and irrelevance before there’s a grey hair on their heads, Nas, The Walkmen, and Fiona Apple are bravely wading into the mysterious, murky waters of adulthood.
2 weeks worth of bang bang bang. 1. "Hip Hop" - DJ Khaled feat. Nas, Scarface & DJ Premier. DJ Khaled has a new album, Kiss The Ring , coming out on August 21st, and this was no doubt the most anticipated track for old school hip-hop lovers. DJ Khaled of course does nothing, but if he's bringing Nas, Scarface and Preemo together on a track we can't complain. The track stacks up, with 2 sick verses, a nice beat from J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, and some dope cutting from Preem in the second half of the song. [...]
The headline of Rozay’s latest album reads: “The Untouchable Maybach Music Empire Presents,” which indicates a lofty statement that exemplifies the fictitious wealth of Rick Ross as a character and is the first instance of self-aggrandizing labels that hold no weight in reality. Ross has managed to lodge himself firmly in the rap game by assuming the role of a super-wealthy, Miami-based drug lord based on his own fictitious origin story. He’s somehow managed to get in good with the entire Young Money family, constantly found alongside [...]
Rappers are a flamboyant bunch. They have all kinds of cool ways to talk about themselves. Not the least of which is coming up with cool nicknames that have made [...]
It's a strange fact that hip-hop has often been poorly represented by it's best selling artists. The XXL "Freshman List" is one prime example of over looking the true emcees of our time to instead give that spotlight to some rappers with zero talent. Whilst people still bemoan the quality of modern hip-hop, I've always felt most detractors have been going to the wrong sources for their music. Make no mistake about it XXL are a powerful force within the industry and one of the few physical publications left with a large.. Continue Reading

Did You Hear? :: In an interview with CBC Q, drug-free DJ deadmau5 admits he "sold out" with his first and only dubstep track. He even went on to talk about his infamous feud with Madonna , saying that the funky grandma 's messages regarding drug use "just really upset me". He also adds that though Madge's fan base went rabid on him, they're nothing compared to Britney Spears ' followers: "Britney's fans put up a [...]

Happy Passover Apologies for the lack of content due to a variety of reasons. Good news for you is that I have still been acquiring jawnz while you have been waiting. Drake dropped this video alongside the visuals for Take Care a couple days ago. Even though Take Care will get more play thanks to the romantic tension, the concept behind this wins over everything. Shalom. Also, apparently G.O.O.D. Fridays restarted when no one was paying attention. Swizz Beatz feat. A$AP Rocky - Street Knock [...]
Atmospheric beat producer RAJA took to his SoundCloud a few days to put up a new remix compilation, aptly titled Remixes . Throughout the release's ten tracks, the beat maker reworks verses from the likes of Kanye, Nas, and Ol' Dirty Bastard, to name a few, in a fashion often reminiscent of the syrupy chopped and screwed technique. I'm also catching hints of Flying Lotus on "TV Breath," while "Outer [♥ Grimes Interlude]" is something for the Burial fans. Stream the remixes above, and head over to RAJA's SoundCloud [...]
As Young Money's resident Barbie, Nicki Minaj endeared herself with her 2010 debut LP, Pink Friday . Over the course of 13 tracks, Minaj revealed her wacko, borderline schizophrenic beauty, dropping a mass of revolting-yet-alluring flows. Yet she balanced those traits with pure thuggish tendencies, out-streeting even the most gangster of male compatriots. And, for an assortment of reasons no doubt associated with her princess complex, she also had fantasies of being a female songbird a la Rihanna. So, what happens when Minaj enters the studio for round two, only to strip away [...]
Despite Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded being borderline unlistenable starting track one (sad face), I did find this hidden gem. Although, I think I may give cred to Drake, Young Jeezy and Nas rather than Nicki Minaj. Nicki Minaj - Champion (feat. Drake, Nas, Young Jeezy)
Hip-hop spectacle and schizophrenic MC Nicki Minaj adds another chapter to her Pink Friday collection with "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded" , which suggested a heavy focus on Roman, one of her many alter-egos. Even though she doesn’t seem to have learned any new tricks, Nicki Minaj fans will rejoice at the prospect of new material from the newly appointed hip-hop queen. From the first notes of “Roman Holiday,” Minaj sounds at odds with the sort of music she’s attempting to sing. Her comically faux-British accent only emphasizes her [...]
FILTH. Surprisingly Nicki Minaj gathers a very legitimate group of rappers and doesn't do too bad herself.
