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.

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.

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.
