By Elorm Nutakor Last Friday, 2 Chainz released “The Play Don’t Care Who Makes It” and Ravyn Lenae released “Crush,” her collaboration with Steve Lacy. Both are EPs with less than six tracks that run less than twenty minutes, and both are refreshing contrasts to Migos’ 24-track “Culture 2” that dropped two weeks prior. I […]

By Ryan Groom B. Cool-Aid, the sun-dried LA duo consisting of beat maker Ahwlee and rapper Pink Siifu, recently dropped a new EP called “BRWN.” Strapped with sounds that range from D’Angelo to Outkast, this hazy release stands out among the sea of main-stream hip-hop. One track in particular, called “holditin|out,” displays Siifus’ incredible ability […]

By Elorm Nutakor It’s 5 a.m. in Toronto, and I sit at a flight terminal in Pearson International Airport, waiting for boarding call. Naturally, my headphones are blasting Drake’s “5AM in Toronto” as I soak in the moment. It’s clearly cause for celebration considering I just checked off another bucket list item. I’m on a […]

Summer Salt delivers on the sun-bleached single “Candy Wrappers”, their first work since 2016’s “Going Native.” With this jangly surf rock track, these dudes from Texas give us a retro-reminiscent soundtrack perfect for a Hawaiian-shirt-clad afternoon by the pool. “Candy Wrappers” is the first release off their upcoming EP “So Polite” which will be out […]

The Atlanta rapper dropped a self titled debut mixtape that has been receiving a lot of buzz. One of the most popular songs on the mixtape is Magnolia, which I personally love.

  • in Blog, Music

Frank Ocean’s latest track “Lens” stays true to what Ocean is all about, being as raw and genuine in his music as he can possibly be. It is no secret that Ocean has struggled with coming to terms with his sexuality since he earned his place in the spotlight, and that is often the inspiration behind his music. […]

Nick Hook’s “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” packs a delightful bounce in the instrumental department with English grime MC Novelist hopping on the vocals. Recorded in Hook’s New York studio, Novelist first linked up with Hook at the young age of 18. Right out of the gate, we get a taste of a fast-paced, catchy synth […]
