Interview: Mickey Factz
myspace.com/itzmickey Is Mickey Factz the Internets most hated rapper? A quick Google search would likely confirm so. However, there is more than this Bronx-based MC than the so-called hipster-hop label that people try to put on him. In fact, contrary to popular belief, Factz is a monster on the mic, and is bringing beats and [...]

Interview: Emily King
MySpace: myspace.com/emilykingmusic Stream: Walk In My Shoes (Windows Media) U and I (Windows Media) The first time I heard Ms. Emily King’s song “Colorblind,” my jaw hit the floor. It almost seems rare now for an artist to be introspective on tracks anymore, and on that song, Ms. King put her differences up in the [...]

Interview: Lil B of the The Pack
www.myspace.com/wolfpackmusik The first time I heard the single for “Vans” I knew that there was something different about The Pack. The Bay Area teens (Lil Uno, Young L, Lil B, & Stunna) weren’t shy about their love for a skateboard shoe in their song “Vans”, (as opposed to the traditional Nike’s), which set the Internet [...]
Get Familiar pt 3: Chris Hall Interview
Chris Hall has been a fixture in the Washington D.C. skateboarding community for the last 20 years. He skated downtown before it was cool, and collected sneakers BEFORE there were boutiques, line ups, and niketalk (like we’re talking when cats used to get murked for their Js). For the past 2 years he has been [...]

Interview: Mozez
Originally posted at Blogcritics: Mozez will not make you get up and dance. He will, however, make you think. In a music world where poppy tunes and heavy beats rule, it is refreshing to hear an artist who does not rely on catchy hooks to make his statement. Along the same vein as Thievery Corporation [...]

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.

Kanye West – Live Fast, Die Young [Audio clip: view full post to listen] After being publicly outed as a corrections officer, having 50 Cent vow, then try his damnedest to “ruin your life, for fun,” and shooting one of the most ridiculous rap videos of all time for “Magnificent,” in which [...]
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. [...]
