Is Jazzanova’s Of All Things The Album of the Year?
It’s not that I don’t like “street” hip-hop, or the pop music that plays on the radio, it’s just that I feel sorry that most of America won’t ever hear this new album from Jazzanova, and it’s my duty to spread the word. We already heard the collaboration with Phonte that I posted in October, [...]

Upcoming DC Shows: Mos Def, Chromeo, Kool Keith, Clipse, Wale
Wow, the line-up of shows for September and October in this city is going to be insane. Mos Def is going to be in town this weekend at the Kennedy Center (don’t get mad if you didn’t buy tickets–I warned y’all) doing his rendition of hip-hop and jazz classics. Should be tight. Phonte rolls through [...]
As the Phonte Turns…
More Phonte drama. Man, the dude can’t catch a break. Now, Eternia (whom we’ve featured a couple times on this site), is all upset because Phonte called her Tit-ernia in a joking matter and sent her off the deep end.

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 [...]
