Get to Know: The Last Poets
On July 19, 2010, I had the distinct honor of checking off a box on my ‘bucket list’ I didn’t believe I’d ever have the opportunity to even imagine: I witnessed the raw effervescence of hip-hop’s true godfathers, The Last Poets, at DC’s own Blues Alley. It was such a powerful experience that it’s taken [...]
New Music: VEGAS = KIL – The Grey-Area
Introverse by VEGAS A soulful Philly beatmaster + a Brooklyn-born (but Queensbridge influenced) emcee = The Grey-Area. Kil produced the entire album and Vegas laced it. Kil’s beats gave me a 9th Wonder feel, and at times the music outshined the lyrics, but with only one collabo on the entire album, Vegas held his own. [...]
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: “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 [...]
