It seems like it’s been many moons (or, at least since Dj Amen released NeVEr TRuSt ROBoTs pT. 2 this summer) since I’ve had a solid mixtape to rock in the car.  Luckily, J.Rocc has delivered with a well-choreographed “best of” tribute to Quantic.  In fact, I can now cross “cumbia in the car” off of my bucket list.

In 2009, PopularLemonade declared Dj Amen‘s mixtape, Never Trust Robots, the best dj-based mixtape of the year.  Just two years later, Dj Amen is back at it with his follow-up project, aptly named NeVEr TRuSt ROBoTs pT. 2. It’s a little bit embarrassing to admit, but I listened to the Amen‘s first installment to the point that the [...]

TiRon and Ayomari are quickly becoming two of my favorite emcees from the left coast.   I had a chance to chat with TiRon a few months back about his upcoming release with fellow Cafeteria Liner Ayomari.  In his own words about their latest release, “Sucker For Pumps is sort of our ode to women.” The [...]

I fucking love Dj Chonz.  Outside of his ability to throw back tequila with me from time to time, he’s also accomplished one hard to reach feat:  being on point all of the time, regardless of environment, crowd, genre, or anything else.  He’s always, always on point.  With this being said, it’s no surprise that [...]

Three years ago, the ELECTRIC PUNANNY crew embarked on a journey that would lead them to where they are today — celebrating their third anniversary.  Over the past few years, the team has thrown some of the most kick ass parties which have been heightened by cross-genre soundtracks — from everything to hip hop to [...]

I don’t really like MIA, other than “Paper Planes.”  She seems like a nob and I think her music is boring, a lotta bad house beats with some jangly instrumentation and a girl yelling “Kala Kala Klinga.” But I thought “Party in the USA” was the best American pop song released in like, a decade, [...]

When I was 15 I decided to record an entire album via four-track using only kitchen utensils.  Yes, it turned out awesome.  No, you can’t have a copy- I gave it to a girl I had a crush on and it was only for her ears. Damon Albarn decided to do the same, except instead [...]

CurT@!n$ has continued to make quite the name for himself in 2010.  #Killer is a by-product of a nice east-west coast relationship between Brooklyn-bred CurT@!n$ and California-based LA Leakers. Download CurT@!n$ :: #Killer (mixtape) here.

Che Grand is a fucking monster.  Along with being one of my personal favorite mountain adventure buddies, he’s simply a beast on the mic and absolutely intricate with his words.  The Fixtape 2 is his latest work of art (scheduled to drop next week) and mixed by my good friend, Dj Low Key and has [...]

Nothing like a new mixtape, featuring artists that are signed with G.O.O.D. to keep Kanye West‘s name buzzing around the internet.  West has collaborated with friend and blogger Perajok to show a bit of love to his artists — including John Legend and Kid Cudi.

It’s not very often that a dj performance leaves me completely speechless other than the sound of happy squeals and shouts. I’ve been blessed to see most of the greats and a bunch of the not-so-greats (I remember hearing an unnamed headliner dj trainwreck 17 times in an hour. Truthfully, it turned into a hell [...]
