Before Mike Will Made It's producer drop made my heart go a flutter, there was the 808 Mafia. The digitally-enhanced, little voice saying "808 Mafia" has always created a heightened sense of anticipation for whatever new production gem was about to pound my ears and chest. Co-founded by Lex Luger and Southside, the production super group is duplicated and mimicked by many, today more so than ever by those who label themselves as producer of trap yet nothing tops the originators. Featuring themselves as well as the many members of the 808 Mafia, the sequel [...]

[Steve Bishop a.k.a. Oneman] There is no denying that we have seen an influx of DJs over the past decade. In surprising contradiction though, we've also witnessed the diminishing of another species; what we'll affectionately refer to as the DJ's DJ. Steve Bishop, better known as DJ Oneman , is the epitome of this title and as such is but one of a few. Revered for his impeccable taste, honed turntable-isms, and ability to recontextualize the familiar into the novel, Oneman is perhaps even more eminent of a figure now than he has ever been. [...]

Just when I thought EDM-trap was receding into flash-in-the-pan infamy, the Scottish heavyweight Rustie returns with a game-changer.

In other news, Rustie 's Spring tour includes two Canadian dates: Toronto - March 8 @ The Hoxton Montréal - March 9 @ Le Belmont [...]

Deen's from Houston, you know how he's coming. I'm fairly certain that February 3rd's, New Jet City , is yet another Currensy freebie (intended to commemorate N'awlins hosting the Super Bowl), so I'm left wondering how and why the man decided to let this one go for free. Look at the star power on this shit! in comparison to Rawse, Wiz and Lex Luger, Curren$y might be the least recognizable name of the bunch. Yay rolodex rap! As a long time Currensy fan, I understand and appreciate the aesthetic he's fostered over [...]
