If she wasn't completely on the map before, she is now, especially with a release like the one below. Twigs , a UK vocalist with a penchant for staying relatively unknown, is the ultra mysterious artist in question mostly because she somehow has indie, hip-hop, and electronic heads all clawing for more. Whether her stylish mysteriousness is by accident or by design -- her Tumblr features nothing more than two of her own YouTube videos -- it doesn't change the fact that we're thoroughly intrigued by someone that would think to put a black man in a mask, have [...]
Amidst the world of popular singers, there is one common denominator that can't too easily be taught and that is a voice. A lot of singers fail because they don't have the voice that others do and that is precisely what I think this track is so special. Bridge of Los Angeles is one young artist who has been silently ripping up the West Coast, having seemed to have effortlessly found his niche. The Cali native recently premiered his newest single "Right Now" on DJ Skee's Skee 24/7 Radio and has been working with Skee and Earmilk favorite Azad Right [...]

Frank Ocean - Channel Orange (Review) The release of Frank Ocean ’s debut LP Channel Orange has no doubt been one of the most talked about albums of the summer. Throughout the entire week I kept hearing about his sexuality and what this means for Hip Hop, and quite frankly I couldn’t care less what Mr Ocean does in the privacy of his home and how homophobia in the Hip Hop world would receive him. At the end of the day I first fell in love with Frank Ocean solely for his music and his almost liberating take on [...]
