    UK Tings: Baby J

    I don’t know too much about Baby J, but I know that this dude is creating some of the most interesting hip-hop producers I’ve heard come out of the UK in a long time. I gotta say that this dude’s videos and production style are pretty innovative. The track Ruffnek Set the Trend feauturing woefully [...]

    UK Tings: Kano, Wiley, Taiwah

    Kano – Hustler

    VIDEO NSFW (The nipples are blurred out, but still…)
    I already think that this video is one of the best of the year, but could this take this the best beat of the year honors as well? Kano’s album 140 Grime Street dropped in the UK last September and some over there are billing [...]

    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 [...]

    [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 [...]
