[Review] The KOXX – Red EP

March 19, 2019

As soon as I heard that The KOXX were releasing new material I was waiting with baited breath to hear what they had come up with next.

[Review] Hippy was Gipsy – Tree

August 2, 2017

I never thought I’d find myself weak with emotion from an artist’s debut album, but that’s exactly what happened to me when I first happened upon Hippy Was Gipsy, a duo comprised of one of my new favorite producers, Jflow (also part of collective WAVISABIROOM), and vocalist Sep. Their debut, Tree, is one of the more … More [Review] Hippy was Gipsy – Tree

[Review] Dumbfoundead – We Might Die

November 30, 2016

Writing my first review about Dumbfoundead was a daunting task. I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to distance myself from what I know of him from his King of the Dot battles. Worried anything I’d write would be chock-full of superlatives and contradictions—being both a proud and frustrated fan. But what it always comes … More [Review] Dumbfoundead – We Might Die
