Infest the Rats’ Nest by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
The ever-changing, pulsating beast that King Gizzard is beats on with their new record Infest the Rats’ Nest. Right from the get go on the first track and single “Planet B,” the listener is made aware that this is no Fishing for Fishies, their April 2019 release. The crunch of the muted guitar is enough … Continue reading Infest the Rats’ Nest by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
An Interview With: Ronin
You know when you're about to go into work or school or somewhere you just don't want to be? You're just so disinterested to go there so you put on that one artist you know will hype you up.

It is very easy to make music nowadays. All you really need is a phone and WiFi and you can create something. Might not be good, but you have the opportunity.

Indicud by Kid Cudi
Personally, I think 2011-2016 was the best era in music. So, I have a personal goal to review everything from that time period that had an impact on me. This time around its Kid Cudi's 2013 album, Indicud. Now, I was a Cudi stan around this time, listening to whatever he dropped or was featured … Continue reading Indicud by Kid Cudi
Dawn FM by The Weeknd
We live in an age of recycling. Everything has been done before so people and artists are now reaching back into the past to pull out familiar feelings and adding their own twists to it. Everyone is guilty of it, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. It shows how far we have and haven't … Continue reading Dawn FM by The Weeknd
Neighbors So Bad…They’re Great
In my quest to prove that 2011-2016 was one of the best eras in music, I've found myself listening to Blu, MED & Madlib's 2015 collaborative album "Bad Neighbor" a lot. Back when it first came out I knew it existed because Hodgy (of Odd Future) is featured on Serving. Then, as I continued to … Continue reading Neighbors So Bad…They’re Great
Its Turnstile’s World, We’re All Just Living In It
I am a very easy person to please when it comes to rock music. As long as you have an interesting enough sound or someone black in the band, I'll give it a listen.

From The Recommendations: Deem Spencer
It is rare for me to ask for recommendations. I tend to not like things I'm not used to, but recently I found myself on listening to the same things over and over. Had to break out of that habit so I asked my friends what they are listening to. Deem Spencer was recommended by … Continue reading From The Recommendations: Deem Spencer
CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST: A Story of Love, Luxury and Luggage
Okay before I start detailing why I love this album so much let me issue a warning. It's going to seem like I'm fanning out at many different points of this review and that's because I am.

The House Is Mid…I Mean Burning
Let me start this off by saying, I am a fan of Zay. Such a fan that I was very excited for this album. Zay made us wait five whole years for a new album. The Sun's Tirade was such a good album and it sounded like a launching point, Zay came out strong like … Continue reading The House Is Mid…I Mean Burning
True EP by Solange
In my quest to review everything touched by Dev Hynes aka Blood Orange aka Lightspeed Champion, I've landed at Solange's 2012 EP True.

Why Young Fathers Deserve Your Ears
For me, finding new music is one of the hardest things to do. Once you go through enough artists sounding like someone else that's already popular you get unmotivated. This happens all the time when I try to find new rap. I've found that if it's not Smino or Guapdad4000, a very obvious Carti or … Continue reading Why Young Fathers Deserve Your Ears
Heaven To A Tortured Mind by Yves Tumor
Whenever I have the job of driving a group of friends around or I'm on a date I always try to shoehorn in a couple artists to the playlist to see how my passengers will react. SOPHIE is usually my go to, sometimes Young Fathers are my choice, but the last couple times it's always … Continue reading Heaven To A Tortured Mind by Yves Tumor
