    Big Boi – Something’s Gotta Give (featuring Mary J. Blige)

    A very dope and overtly political song from Big Boi from his solo album, entitled Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty which drops this year. The track is slightly cliched’ but its good to see Mary J back in form.

    Big: Atlanta Ballet x Big Boi Opens Tonight

    Anybody down in Atlanta going to this? I’m not the biggest ballet fan, but this type of thing is such a good look for Big Boi. It pretty much Outkast can do pretty much anything and still come out on top.  However, didn’t we all think that Andre 3000 would do something like this first?
    If [...]

    Review: Gorillaz – Plastic Beach

    4.0/5

    If it takes us a few listens to really get into the Gorillaz newest album. Can we blame ourselves?
    We are forced fed music that is derivative of another. Pop music all sounds the same, with each artist essentially sounding like the one who came 3 months before them. When we hear something as creative and [...]

    ALBUM REVIEW: Outputmessage – Autonomous

    4.5/5

    Washington, DC by way of Queens, NY electronic dance music producer Outputmessage is likely one of the more underrated EDM artists in the genre. The eight year veteran has received terrific acclaim both stateside and abroad for his musically dense but pop trending melodies awakening a sense of early 80s synth pop sounds. However, with [...]

    4.0/5

    While not a masterpiece, in an era where the market has been deluged by a new female soul vanguard that angles increasingly towards pop, Sade remains regal, calm, collected and steadfast, and merely releases the standard bearer album to define the female expression in R & B for 2010.
    Sade’s musical legacy lies in her ability [...]

    ALBUM REVIEW:Massive Attack “Heligoland”

    4.5/5

    Massive Attack – Paradise Circus
    [Audio clip: view full post to listen]
    Tomorrow marks the official release date (U.S. and Canada) for Heligoland, the 5th proper studio album by Massive Attack.
    Whereas the 2003 release 100th Window glistened with mechanical accuracy and disciplined minimal techno, Heligoland finds the Bristol duo returning to the dirtier, dubbed out sound of [...]
