Big Boi Speaks On A Continually Making Music, Life As A Jedi Master Rapper, And Who Invented Trap Music (Video)
October 25, 2017
Yeah, man. So-called ‘trap music’ has been part of the rap music lexicon for a long while. But as far back as the beginnings of Big Boi? Strong argument to be made. Picked up that “Boomiverse” LP yet? Strong argument for doing that to be made, too.
We chopped it up with Big Boi to talk about everything from the newly released “Boomiverse,” to why Rico Wade is considered hip-hop’s Yoda, Dave Chappelle and more.

October 23, 2017
Nice! Saw Boyz II Men and Brian McKnight on GMA last week doing this and had to stop everything. Not really an R&B head, but these are two of the great acts of my early years. Respect.

The killer lyrical combo Apathy & O.C. let another one off “Perestroikaâ€Â though? Ha! Trying to act ‘fake surprised’… C’mon maaannn!

R&B: Musiq Soulchild – “Sooner Or Later”
October 18, 2017
A double album is always a risky bet for artists. High risk of overplaying your hand, as you are giving lots of music for a reasonable price, with the perception of higher ‘value.’ But often the result is a watered down product, or one with too many tracks between the ‘good’ joints.
Make your own judgments about what Musiq is trying to do with his double LP. But we know you will come to like at least one jawn… “Sooner Or Later”

ChanHays – “Running” feat. Skyzoo x Uptown XO x Elzhi
October 16, 2017
Yooo! This jawn right here dude. It will have you exclaiming, “WHO is this ChanHays cat?!!?” Normal reassurers might respond, “Don’t worry about it.”
But eff that! WORRY! This artist is gonna be a problem for a long while. And though you might not know ChanHays, but looking at this upcoming album’s credits, Conway The Machine, Roc Marciano, Pharoahe Monch, Rapper Big Pooh, Homeboy Sandman, Masta Ace, and several more feature artists do! And ChanHays’ “Running” (featuring Skyzoo, Uptown XO & eLZhi) is an apropos intro. Facts! Straight Outta Halifax with it.

Funk/Soul: Thundercat – “Show You The Way” feat. Michael McDonald x Kenny Loggins (Video)
October 16, 2017
Okay… Thundercat is OUT THERE! See, “Them Changes” was already… er, eccentric. Well, this is a sequel to that; and it is CRAY in the best way. Like features (and actual appearances) from Doobie Bro Michael McDonald and Kenny “Footloose” Loggins. REALLY the best way. Awesomeness from the ’80s travels to the future to continue our tale of the armless Samurai.
(Yeah. Just watch!)

Young RJ – “Blaq Royalty” (Album Stream)
October 16, 2017
Impressive for a debut LP. Although heads are like, “about damn time, RJ,” it is still a debut. It’s been said you are known by the company you keep. Applied to a project… known by the features. So peep: J Ivy, Pete Rock, Boldy James, BJ The Chicago Kid, Joyner Lucas, Statik Selektah, Supa Kaine, and Guilty Simpson. That’s a LOT of DOPE company! Enjoy this FREE stream.
