Visit streaming.thesource.com for more information If you haven’t noticed, this column is supposed to go up every Monday.

Visit streaming.thesource.com for more information I think we all need a break from Justin Bieber.

Let’s change that. […]

Visit streaming.thesource.com for more information If you’re not a Seahawks fan, last night was about the Halftime Show and the commercials. Peyton was playing like his younger brother while Russell Wilson was playing like he’d been there before. But the most important question that went unanswered for me was, where was Round 2 of Erin […]
Visit streaming.thesource.com for more information A couple things about last night Grammy’s: KDot’s performance with Imagine Dragons deserved an Oscar and Pharrell’s hat actually stole the show. One of the most fashionable men has to be trolling us with that minion studio apartment. You can just head to Twitter if you want every opinion on […]
Visit streaming.thesource.com for more information With all the buzz surrounding Superbowl XLVIII aka The Cannibus Cup building now, we wanted to make sure you don’t lose sight of the talented artists making their own waves. They may have the confidence of Richard Sherman, but they’ll let the music speak for it instead. And just like […]

If you don’t support them, who will? Visit streaming.thesource.com for more information This week’s picks are an equal balance of artists you probably heard of and artists you have no idea existed. One of these artists, Shawn Chrystopher, is selling his project unlike most of the artists in SYLR. That should mean a couple things […]
This week’s batch of local rappers are a bit odd, pun intended for one of them. They’re either presenting music that would go contrary to your assumption of a rising rapper in today’s pop culture circumstances or break any preconceptions you have about rappers, in general. But we like that. We like those who break […]
Let’s stop for a moment from watching the news and hearing about plane accidents, civil unrest, and freedom fighters on the run. Turn the TV off and let’s get back to the music-the new music, to be exact. Because as Bob Marley once said, “One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel […]
I think I can feel my feet again after trudging through the mire that was Governors Ball last weekend. And to make up for the absence of SYLR last Monday, this week’s selections are extra promising in talent. Some of these artists are well known in their own right and it’s no diss to their […]

We’re back with this week’s selections for Support Your Local Rapper. We had some great responses from last week’s post and would love to see more discussion going on regarding who I chose, as well as who I may have missed out on. Remember, if you’re chosen this is your chance to promote yourself to […]
