SXSW Interview: Theophilus London
Photos courtesy of Darkroom Demons/Green Label Sound We live in a new generation, where the lines of hip-hop, pop, rock, and electronic music have been blurred. No longer is someone “just” a rocker or “just” an MC. Artists these days are crafting their music from a palate as diverse as an iPod on shuffle. Theophilus [...]
SXSW Interview: Dan Black
One of the things that I liked most about this year’s SXSW was the noticeable mix of music genres which has clearly expanded since its birth in 1987. Music has become more of a colorful collage of experimentation and SXSW properly represented this new era of creativeness by showcasing some of the artists who fit [...]
Interview: We get “Cheeky” with VV Brown
“Do you think my cheeks look fat?” That’s the first question that the UK pop/soul sensation VV Brown asks after our video interview. I’m not going to lie. It’s a shock for this writer to see this 5 foot 9 inch model so worried about her appearance. But those tiny moments are what add to [...]

Interview: Common at BMI’s “How I Wrote That Song” panel, Hollywood
Common always seems to be a few years ahead of his time. The Chicago MC was once scolded by the hip-hop community for his more adventitious projects–Electric Circus and Universal Mind Control–however now it’s almost the norm for hip-hop artists to rhyme over electro beats. Ever forward thinking and innovative, the MC has not only [...]
Interview: What’s Up With Selah Sue?
About a month ago I blogged about a girl from Belgium named Selah Sue who many referred to as the ‘white girl who rhymes like a Jamaican’. Since then I’ve really begin to wonder about who this girl is; why is she deeply into reggae and hip hop and how is it that with such a dope [...]
AUDIO INTERVIEW: Wiz Khalifa
Pittsburgh’s Wiz Khalifa perhaps has one of the best tales of the new industry of hip hop in the 21st century. A mixtape monster, Khalifa spent two solid years consistently turning the underground on its ear until becoming a leading emcee in the game. By 2007, he had a deal with Warner Brothers Records, and [...]
Interview: The Joint Chiefs x Rakim
No one is more deserved a mention in the legacy and chronicle of hip-hop than Rakim.

[...]

INTERVIEW: Matthew Waldman of Nooka
Matthew Waldman has deconstructed time. His Nooka watch designs have revolutionized how we look at time and have taken fire in the streetwear and fashion communities. As many designers look to the past for inspiration, Waldman looks to the future. His Nooka designs–watches, fragrances, and apparel–look like they would be right at home in on [...]

Review: Exile- Radio Bonus (Free Download)
Download: Exile – Radio Bonus On this latest remix effort from Exile, there are some hits and misses. Now the purpose of a remix album is sometimes to be a little more experimental in nature, but since the original “Radio” contained so many samples, this remix seemed a bit excessive. Throughout this album there was [...]
Single Review:Eternia and MoSS-”The Half”
The Half by Eternia “The Half” is actually unique; that simple statement speaks volumes of the lyricist behind this single, Eternia. The rapper, originally from Toronto and now in New York, Eternia teamed up with Toronto producer MoSS in order to create her fourth and most recent full-length release, At Last. Throughout At Last MoSS [...]

Headphone Review: V-Moda Crossfade LP
Let’s face it. Your $9 earbuds from Radio Shack are becoming obsolete. But that’s a good thing. We spend so much time listening to music that we sometimes forget how valuable headphones are to the musical experience. And the high-end headphone market–once reserved for audiophiles and recording studios–has taken off. First there were the Dres. [...]
