Gilles Peterson has been a champion of new music for the past 10 years thanks to his BBC Radio 1 program, Worldwide, as well as being the head of several influential record labels, the latest being Brownswood Recordings. But the music isn’t just new, like…it’s not the new Justin Bieber or Katy Perry record. The [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: “HUFF + PUFF” by Just A Band
This joint right here is real sexy-like. Your body will automatically go into autopilot: your head will start boppin’, and you’ll break into a soulful yet swingin’ two-step (think of the Robert Palmer video girls…on speed). The very beginning of the song reminds me of Supernature-era Goldfrapp with heavy synths keys, some la-la-las, and a [...]

REVIEW: Mike Posner – 31 Minutes to Takeoff
Let’s all be glad this isn’t 2004. If it were, suburban Detroit native and Duke graduate Mike Posner would have just graduated from the Mickey Mouse/Lou Pearlman factory into a rosy cheeked R & B album that, since not likely produced by Timbaland, would have flopped, and left him to be a soulless J.C. Chasez [...]

Review: Wale – More About Nothing
Wale – The Guilty Pleasure (feat Waka Flaka) [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Let’s face it, there are mixtape artists and there are album artists and Wale is the former. However, being a “mixtape artist” is not a bad thing in 2010. With album sales at an all time low and production values [...]
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. [...]
