SXSW Photos: Levi’s/Fader Fort
I know in Blog time, SXSW is a distant memory, but I wanted to posts these pictures I took at the Fader Fort (one of the dopest spots to be in Austin that week.) Oh, and can I say, the hipster game was strong with this one. Bun-B Rick Ross was supposed to start off [...]
SXSW Review: Solange at Buffalo Billards, Austin
FULL FLICKR PHOTOSET HERE Beyonce Knowles is a superstar. She plays sold out arenas all over the world. Her husband is mega millionaire Jay-Z. She gets hounded paparazzi wherever she turns and she is quite possibly the most recognizable Black woman this side of Michelle Obama and Oprah. And her sister Solange? She’s playing a [...]
SXSW Candid: Blu at the Carrera Lounge
I got to chop it up briefly with Blu at the Carrea Lounge in Austin during SXSW and wanted to drop this pic. Blu and Exile were in the building as well as Little Boots, John Forte, Thunderheist, and The Black Lips. It was like the Blog came to life.
SXSW Artist: Whole Wheat Bread
Earlier that day, I had to opportunity to attend a panel discussion at SXSW about Black Rock music. For the most part, the panel was very insightful, opening up a very interesting discussion about Black Rock in mainstream America. As someone who put on two Black Rock shows back in the day, I felt a [...]
SXSW Artist: Gabriella Cilmi
Gabriella Cilmi - Sit In The Blues Gabriella Cilmi – Einstein Like my brother Quincy Jones, it takes me only 15-20 seconds to like an artst. When myself, Marcus, and the elustrious Fiona Bloom were eating at the Austrialian BBQ in Austin I almost dropped my hot dog when I heard a 17 year old Australian [...]
SXSW Interview: Asa
Find more about Asa at MySpace. I first caught wind of Asa (pronounced Asha) by listening to her powerful first single, Jailer. Since then, I’ve been fascinated by the Paris-based Nigerian ex-pat, and her combination of modern American soul music and her native Nigerian rhythms inspired by text messages sent on a bus through her [...]
SXSW Review: Janelle Monae at the Austin Music Hall
Most of y’all know that I am a very discriminiating music connisseur. So when I say that someone “killed it,” during a performance you know that said performer has brought their A-level game. And Janelle Monae did just that. Let’s get one thing straight. Ms. Monae only performed three songs. I think it took longer [...]
Of Quintessential Q and the Mercurial Mr. West, historical thoughts…
Photo attributed to Rob Fields, boldaslove.us “Kick in the door, wavin the four-four” – Notorious B.I.G., Kick In the Door I am a firm believer in the concept that in introducing any new, paradigm shifting manuever to any pre-existing artifice, it’s easier to open a door to walk through than bang one’s head against the [...]
DC R&B Artist Arrested at Houston Airport
Wayna – Billy Club [Audio clip: view full post to listen] I woke up yesterday morning to some startling news. DC R&B artist Wayna was arrested at the Houston airport for carrying a stage prop that she uses in her song “Billy Club,” off of her album Higher Ground in her carry-on baggage. She was [...]
SXSW Profile: DJ Class
DJ Class – I’m The Shit Remix (feat Kanye West) [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Hip-hop wise, there was no song that I heard more than DJ Class’ “I’m The Shit.” Seriously, the song was everywhere I turn, including the Red Bull Moon Tower at 4 in the morning. The song is positioned [...]
Photos: IHeartComix/Mad Decent Party at SXSW with Kid Cudi
So yeah, I was ready for the Kanye/Badu/Common lovefest at the Red Bull Moon Tower to begin. I had prime real estate AND my SLR. It was about to go down. Then Red Bull got shut down by the cops. No worries. Me and Marcus were kidnapped by a girl from the “Austin hood” who [...]
SXSW Interview: Blaqstarr
DJ Blaqstarr Interview from Couch Sessions on Vimeo. One of the more fascinating parts of the True Genius on the Couch SXSW experience occurred when I had the opportunity to sit with DJ Blaqstarr, or rather, the evolved Blaqstarr, who unleashed upon SXSW new solo R & B material, with a voice that emotes mood [...]

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 [...]
REVIEW: Rick Ross – Teflon Don
Rick Ross feat. 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. [...]
