Let’s say you happen to be celebrating 4/20. If you are, and visit this site, chances are Spitta and Alchemist’s new offering is dominating your soundtrack today and that’s fine. For a desirable change of pace, however, try Freelance Whales’ “Girl U Want.” Read the rest of this entry »

DJ Quik tries his damnedest to put his heart into everything his does. When you’re doing what you love for the sheer joy of seeing your works be etched in the hall of fame, how could you ever hate on that?

The latest band of Hip-Hop antiheroes, Random Axe, are clean and dirty like the bar of Fight Club soap.

Maybach Music Group’s Atlanta leg, Pill, promised via his Twitter new music would be coming our way about a day or so ago. Turns out he wasn’t lying with his recently liberated freestyle over Nicki’s mega hit as proof. Not bad, not bad at all. Read the rest of this entry »

“Spike can go straight to hell! You can print that. I am sick of him talking about me, I am sick of him saying, ‘This is a coon; this is a buffoon.’ I am sick of him talking about black people going to see movies.

Hitting the pavement may be an afterthought for most but the Free Run+ 2′s were built with runners in mind. No running for me but I wore my Challenge Reds yesterday to do intense walking and errand-running. Cosign the comfort on these without a doubt.
