Do remember that Brother ?uestion returns to Mai on Sunday, September 4th. Do wear comfortable shoes Read the rest of this entry »

We had so much fun last time ?uestlove visited Nashville that we’ve decided to do it again. It goes down Sunday, September 4th at Mai as we celebrate Lovenoise’s eight year run of Labor Day weekend big bashes. Read the rest of this entry »

The upcoming Sneakers & Speakers event should be marked on the calendar if you’re in the 615, 931, 423 or 901 area codes and it goes down on June 4th @ PhatKaps. One of the first of its kind for Middle Tennessee, sneaker and music enthusiasts alike come together to buy, sell and socialize. Read the rest of this entry »

?uestlove came to Nashville to support our continued pursuit of epicness and massive it was. I originally considered running down 80 adjectives trying to paint how amazing the whole scene was and how relentless ?uest is on the mix…but simple words wouldn’t suffice in the least.

Video footage forthcoming but know and understand that Dee Goodz, Chance Warhol and DJ Wick-It held it down for the town. My camo cap goes off to Dee who stepped outside of comfort zone and usual crowd to make his mark. I never gauge how I feel about an artist’s performance solely on crowd reaction, knowing that sometimes an audience may hold back on giving props. Early call and responses fell short but young Goodz comes equipped with undeniable music and maximum charisma. And by his final track “Bananas,” the crowd rocked with him, filling in the calls for their participation.

To our 615′ers, remember that ?uestlove will be holding fort @ Mai tomorrow night. Also added to tomorrow night’s soiree are performances from Dee Goodz and Chance Warhol. Ticket sales have been good and steady and we thank everyone for their support. There’s still a few reduced priced tickets available @ Bullets & Mullets Read the rest of this entry »

“So far, so good.”

The above words are my understated reply when asked how the Yelawolf pre-show advancements are moving. Considering that this all started two years ago from a random idea turned strong desire, I feel well and blessed to watch the pieces fall into place, knowing the support and anticipation are as alive as we had hoped.

Simply put, Music City lacks the proper platform to display our kind of music. So, I started reaching out to a few rapper friends who we’ve supported us here at TSS, the guys who’ve shown us love in return. Also, I got together with like-minded friends in the area – specifically the curators and tastemakers behind PhatKaps Boutique, Culture Shock Mag and 2LsOnACloud for this go-round and many more down the line. We all decided to put on for the city. Read the rest of this entry »

And probably his mouth as well. After yesterday’s revelation that the guitar hero was swashbuckling with a swastika, it was inevitable that everything John Mayer-related was to go up in flames. Rappers let him have it, and you can imagine he deflated the dreams of many Black woman’s “white boy crush.” Read the rest of this entry »

Intro By Jesse H.

The TSS crew is proud of our national and international presence. This place stays moving with fresh and lively comment boards no matter what time zone you’re in (we’re looking at you in particular, Greumsy.) Not only is the TSS nation comprised of an eclectic mix of readers from all over the globe, we’re also blessed enough to have a similar hometown diversity on our writing staff. While we might show our respective regional biases from time to time in our posts, we decided to really tilt our hands and give you all a behind-the-scenes look at what we listen to when we’re in transit to the places we call home. From coast to coast, our crew of writers put on for our cities, in a little piece we like to call…

New York City

I just recently moved to NYC, and whenever I visited here in the past I would always bump the same song on my iPod coming in – “Where I’m From.” Read the rest of this entry »

On Friday, LA folks can meet with P, get an autograph, take a picture, buy her a rose drink…and hear some music (More Info). Read the rest of this entry »

P already told you where you can find her.

For my Nashvillians, if you’re looking for Gottyâ„¢, you can find me with my folks from Lovenoise as they present Proton, members of URB Magazine’s Next 100 list this year.

This Sunday @ The Place on 2nd Ave South.

I’ll be the Black dude. Near the back. Chain-smoking.
