“It’s On The House…” - Killa Kyleon “Roc Boyz Freestyle” Video

I was originally gonna post the video for Maino’s “Be Me” but this Killa had way more energy. In the big scheme of things, where in the hell did Houston/Texas go? The region was all the rage a short while ago & now it’s hard to find anything with a buzz coming out of there....

“Shallow Days, Hollow Nights…”

Words By Patrick M. While the timing of Hip-Hop’s death has been on people’s minds since Nas stated his opinion on the matter, I believe its nearest brush with mortality came in the late 90s. At the time, a newfound schism had emerged, the brutally false distinction between “Rap “and...

“It’s The Ride Of Your Life…”

Words By Chris Smith It’s Monday morning. The curse of the working men and women worldwide. You find yourself fighting for five more minutes of sleep even as you stumble to the bathroom with crusty eyes, wondering how you’re gonna get through another week of copiers, cubicles and cornflake...

Yet Another Reason I’ll Vote for This Man

As if he needed any more selling points. I’ve been buying this man’s party line since he took the stage at the Democratic National Convention in 2004 backing the wind-surfing, supremely-coifed, Pete-Carroll-esque John Kerry. Barack Obama has always had my vote. Now he has my heart.

Heard Through The Grapevine…

So, my mom put me on game the other day. When I stopped by her house to get my free grub on, she was watching Law & Order, and told me that the man above was going to be playing Marvin Gaye in an upcoming biopic, called Sexual Healing.

The Good With The Bad…

Words By Darius Sinclair â„¢ We all have songs we just love but others despise. I’ve been prone to that attitude considering I like some rock’n'roll and classical. But what about the Hip-Hop songs? The ones you think are the shit, but only after they took years to grown on you (like...

DJ P - “B-Boy Massacre”

Words By DJ Sorce-1 Picture this. You’re with your friend at a local b-boy battle. The dancing is on point, but instead of traditional b-boy breaks, the DJ is spinning Talking Heads, Steely Dan, U2, Prodigy, and Sting. Sounds pretty suspect, right? Leave it to DJ P to pull it off. He somehow crams...

“Two Turntables…”

Words By Contraâ„¢ Atlanta is slowly building up to be one of my favorite cities, musically speaking. There’ve been excellent performances, historic events and just all together the stars seem to be determined to align and shine on the Motown of the South lately.

“Ack Like You Know…” - Review Of Flo Rida’s Mail On Sunday

Unless you practice the ways of the Amish, you’ll be hard-pressed to find someone who’s avoided the club fervor caused by newcomer’s Flo Rida’s “Low” which featured yet another T-Pain choral response. The single albeit a tad bit formulaic, rose to the top of the Billboard...
