M.I.A.
VIDEO: Rye Rye – Bang
We’ve been following Baltimore artist Rye Rye for a hot minute now and I’m glad to hear that she’s FINALLY put out a video for her track “Bang,” which has been making waves on the club circuit. The vid, directed by Mrs. Maya herself, has that grainy, gritty B-More quality we come to expect from [...]
Video: MIA on Tavis Smiley Show
Even though I really wasn’t into MIA when she first debuted, I am now a fan, and I have to give her much respect for getting nominated for both an Oscar AND a Grammy in the same year. The very pregnant MIA stopped by Tavis Smiley’s show for a pre-Grammy interview. She aslo gives a [...]
Reader Best of 2008: Marcus KING KONG Dowling
Name: Marcus KING KONG Dowling
Location: Greenbelt, MD
Website: True Genius Requires Insanity: http://www.tgrionline.com
So, I got asked by Stone to knock out what I thought were the top five songs of 2008. It’s a hard year to do this, as, if you ask anyone who has forsaken popular music in lieu of the musical revolution online that [...]
Top 7 Beats of 2008
7.) Kanye West – Love Lockdown (produced by Kanye West)
Even though I cant’ stand this song, ‘Ye turned the phrase “beatmaker” on its end, and essentially pissed off every hip-hop producer I know. It’s a good thing, I promise.
6.) Kid Cudi – Day and Nite (produced by Dot Da Genius)
While most songs this year have [...]
Video: M.I.A. vs Blaqstarr – Down In The Hole
Having M.I.A. on cover Tom Wait’s Down In The Hole (which we all know is from the Wire) sounds like its ripe for disaster. However, this track is simply brilliant.
I’m really liking this song, and I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because of its utter simplcity? Maybe because the video cost $9.95 to make? Who [...]
Santogold = Better Than M.I.A., Tour Dates
Santogold – I’m A Lady
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
Sorry, I had to put that out there.
I haven’t gotten my hands on the full Santogold album yet, but the songs that I have been playing continuously on my Ipod are 5 time’s better than the songs on M.I.A. last album Kala.
I’m not saying that [...]

Review: Gorillaz – Plastic Beach
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
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 [...]
Album Review: Sade – Soldier of Love
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”
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 [...]
