This “Alive” collab will probably be Bankx most popular work to date (April 11, 2016). I hear Euro-pop and “drug-soul” when I listen to this 4sound record – two trends becoming quite popular in The Midwest now days. One style stems from Kanye West, the other from Drake’s camp. Both artists couldn’t be any more...
Bryson Tiller came with the second TRAPSOUL video today (October 14, 2015). The follow up to Tiller’s hit single “Don’t” is much more complex and shows the Louisville, Kentucky-raised singer performing in between shots of his hometown burning.

UPDATE (July 31) Meek Mill dropped his response to Drake today. Many were hoping for the Dreamchaser to come with an ultra-violent slasher joint. What they got was “WANNA KNOW,” sections of very calculated bars, broken up by beat changes and select audio samples. As anyone can tell from all the anti-Meek comments and memes,...

Fat Boy is back with some lines. I like Action Bronson though, in a nutshell, he smokes bags of blunts, cooks and makes incoherent raps. These videos of him eating had me blown when I first time I checked him out. He’s a really good cook that likes hip hop. Very Queens. His rhyming style is...
Play this shit when you’re high. Fuck to it. Cry to it. Let it take you somewhere else. This kind of music can be a compliment to your situation. Personally, I don’t compose my time with this brand. In true OVO Sound fashion, PND and Travis Scott don’t say much of anything. I need something...
This past weekend was too real woo. I’ve been having some serious medical issues lately so I haven’t done much except rest, but, if it’s homecoming in Madison, you find yourself bruh (October 29, 2014). I took to the meds and made it happen. I ran into folks on the way down the scrip (Langdon)...
