Coming out of Reston, VA, the trio have had Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters & Nirvana) drum on their songs and Pharrell co-produce another one. And now […]
It was clear from the lineup that there would be some huge hip-hop stars performing at this year’s Governors Ball but there was definitely a strong lean towards the rest of the genres when you broke it down over the four stages and three days. Regardless, the acts that they booked represented the culture on […]
Music festivals are a beast that you cannot tame. You can prepare for them, learn from previous ones, and bring as many friends as you want, but there will always be those X factors: live nature of artists’ performances, other festival goers, the line for the bathroom, food, weather, and too many more to list. […]

There once was a trio from Tacoma. The group’s name was ILLFIGHTYOU. They created hip-hop that was disruptive and could appeal to both hipsters and thugs. And now, they’re working on another project post-BOBBY HILL and their eponymous EP. They seem to come up with different permutations of their group from project to project and […]
It’s late on the east coast so that means that you’re pretty open to hearing new kinds of music. If you’re on the west coast, you’re more open minded anyway so keep up. Cities Aviv is a unique artist who produces, raps, sings, and expresses in multiple forms. He may sound lo-fi at first but […]
I’m always complaining that producers don’t get the same love as emcees or singers. And it doesn’t become more obvious when a producer like Maths Time Joy works with a talented young emcee like Que Hampton. The Kent producer (that’s South East England) doesn’t simply let a loop ride for almost five minutes. Instead, after […]

Don’t you just hate when people go on tirades on your Facebook post and then you get notifications every 3 seconds about someone commenting about that person? What about people who post the new Jordan’s that they copped when you know they’re cashing in on food stamps? And do you laugh at people who can’t […]
Shout out to LEX Records for continually supporting not only unique artists but great collaborations among those artists. I first found out about them through DangerDoom’s track with Mos Def, called “Old School.” Later this year, you can look forward to an album between London’s producer, Paul White, and Florida emcee, Eric Biddines. Together, they […]

The Wu-Tang emcee combined evil forces with the talented emcee Esoteric and producer 7L for a concept album centered around an evil hero, CZARFACE. Their first album featured Ghostface […]
Directed by: LX Visit streaming.thesource.com for more information When you sit back and realize that you’re winning at life, sometimes it leaves a bittersweet taste in your mouth.

Tree may be one of the most talented artists to come out of Chicago that you’re not familiar with. The man not only raps vivid stories with his signature sand paper rough voice, but he also produces some of the most organic instrumentals. And by organic, I mean that he flips samples into something that […]
South Park is a staple of pop culture. So you know that it’s bound to happen for the animated series to be highly sought after for capsules from growing clothing brands.

4/20 has come to a close on the east coast, if you’re a stickler for technicalities. But if the day doesn’t end until you go to bed, you’re in luck for a great way to wind down the green festivities. Producer EOM is prepping his album, Sunrain, which drops on the 25th, and he shared […]

Of course, they’ve had a hand in the development and exposure of other artists as well (Odd Couple, A-Villa, Mic Terror, Vic Mensa, Tree). They recently signed their second rapper, Kweku Collins, […]
When we all first heard of PRhyme from DJ Premier and Royce da 5’9″, we all expected classic beats with tough as nails rhymes. Fortunately, that’s exactly what we got. Fortunately, again, another Detroit emcee still holds the spirit of going in over someone else’s beats for pure sport. Clear Soul Forces emcee, Noveliss, chose […]
