Looks like American rapper Riff Raff has let slip he's collaborating on a track with OWSLA Label owner Skrillex. In talking with MTV Australia on his most recent visit as part of the Vivid Live week downunder he let out that “Me and Skrillex have an album coming out. I mean we have a song coming out. Oh sh*t. That’s what I do when I speak too soon. I can’t tell you more than that. MTV exclusive!” adding that working with the side-fringed producer was "real easy" adding “He’s one of [...]
Some wise writer at The FADER wrote earlier this month that trying to sum up a year in music is something like "trying to talk about all the times you tied your shoelaces". That metaphor feels pretty on point, especially since I started whittling my list down from a solid 200 songs, and 100 albums or so, all of which I thought were fantastic. The resulting list you'll find below feels more than a little arbitrary, if not altogether a lost cause. But hey, the whole idea is appreciation-showing love, giving thanks, and hopefully handing off at least a few [...]
Riff Raff is misunderstood, and that's completely understandable. His stream of consciousness is more like a river of codeine, and floating in it are fragments of screw-tape freestyles and designe... Continue reading "Riff Raff and the Year of the White Rapper" >
There's a very good chance you'll hate Riff Raff. In fact, if you're reading this, there's a decent chance you already do. For a certain breed of rap fan, Riff Raff is a kind of exaggerated boogeyman version of everything that's wrong with the genre: Embrace of novelty, voracious consumption, bad tattoos, Soulja Boy affiliations, shamless earworm addiction. And he certainly plays the village-idiot part with rare elan: The MTV reality-show origin story, the on-camera cocaine consumption, the willingness to ink the logos of MTV and BET and Worldstar into his skin. It took me months to get from "holy [...]
Riff Raff - BiRTH OF AN iCON Mad Decent: 2012 Possible Theories Re: Riff Raff’s Possibly Fake, Possibly Insane Rap Persona 1. He is a performance artist, who is using rap music as his canvas. He is a dude pulling off the greatest living Internet con of the Web 3.0 era, a guy tailoring his references (“I done shook dice with Larry Bird in Barcelona,” etc.) in order to blow up Twitter feeds. 2. He just happens to be a savant at this rap shit, a guy whose [...]
Slava P's birth name is Versace Bentley Mazda. Considering that the idea of "hip-hop" has existed for less than forty years, it's fascinating to think how many trends have come into fruition and withered away. In the '10s, this 'trend-cycle' has been hyper-accelerated thanks to the internet providing more avenues from which "talent" can be discovered. During the last three years, Tumblr may gotten more artists signed to multi-million dollar contracts than Lyor Cohen in the 902s. Artists incubated within the warm womb of the internet eventually squeeze their way out into the mainstream to [...]

In case you haven’t been paying attention to your calendar lately, 2012 is halfway over. Here at Mostlyjunkfood.com, besides blowing our New Year’s resolutions two months into the year and consuming mall Japanese food every day on our lunch break , we’ve been paying close attention to the quality of music that’s been released during the first six months of the year. After looking over our gradebooks, we decided to put together a list of some of the standout bodies of work, songs, artists, videos and moments from the first semester of the year. We also took [...]

Improbably—and maybe in its improbability, just the way it was meant to be—Riff Raff has based his most endearing and heartfelt song to date on a sample from "Hey There Delilah." Sedate rather than off-the-walls, ... read more
