As everyone here knows I’ve got a soft spot in my heart for one Dumbfouneaded. His unabashed honesty and undeniable ability to build a story with ferocious lyricism are attributes of his style that I thought were unmatched. Oh, how wrong I was. So… so very wrong. Year of the Ox came on my radar … More Cy Recommends — Year of the Ox (YOX)
We here at Rock N’ Seoul have a definite soft spot for the Feel Ghood Music’s little brother. As such, it’s no surprise that we’re all elated that he’s coming back for SXSW this year to reintroduce himself as one of the hottest MCs coming out of South Korea. Though technically Korean-American, he’s managed to … More Cy Recommends — Junoflo
With SXSW just around the corner, it seemed pertinent to introduce readers to some of the artists invited to this year’s festival. 2018 is looking to be even bigger than previous festivals, “K-pop Night Out” taking on the more apt “Korean Showcase,” thus allowing for a wider range of festivalgoers who may not be all … More Cy Recommends – CIFIKA
2018 has been dripping with Black Excellence since the clock struck midnight. The arts have been affected in a way that can only make me smile and laugh in outright delight. So much of music, film, and traditional art has seemingly hurdled us into a new Black Renaissance, and I’m just overwhelmed with the glory … More [Out of the Box] JOJO ABOT
If you think I’m focusing a lot on women in the first part of 2018… you’re right. You’re absolutely right. And what a group of kick-ass females they are. I’m just gonna dig right in on this one. A-Fuzz is one of the stankiest, jammingest band of women I’ve heard come out of South Korea. … More Cy Recommends – A-Fuzz
You know what I love? When artists that share a label or just a similar aural aesthetic recommend music from artists they also love. Such was the case when one of my favorite producer-cum-artists, Mndsgn, recommended Joyce Wrice on his Instagram. Joyce’s voice is just so light, such a magical sound. Effortless, lovely. Listening to … More [Out of the Box] — Joyce Wrice
Our first recommendation of the New Year comes from Cy. And she is head-over-heels for this band — pop/funk/soul outfit SE SO NEON. … More Cy Recommends — SE SO NEON
Okay… first of all, RnS fam… HOW COME NOBODY TOLD ME IRISH DUDES ROSE UP LIKE THIS?! I swear I can’t trust anybody anymore! I see y’all ain’t loyal! If there’s one genre that challenges my love of soul and R&B, it’s House and all its progeny. When I tell you I almost fell to the … More [Out of the Box] Iglooghost
Okay, so here’s the thing. I don’t believe I’ve ever been more offended by a band than I was when I first heard this neo-blues outfit. I first discovered Decadent when the ladies and I were putting together our list of must-sees for Zandari Festa. They were kind enough to answer a few questions for … More Cy Recommends – Decadent
There’s nothing quite like someone who has a keen mastery of their mother tongue, a knife’s edge wit, and a rapacious appetite for absolutely shredding listeners with their flow, power, and musicality. I came across G Yamazawa on a whim. I was listening to another hip-hop album (don’t ask me to try to remember which), and … More [Out of the Box] G Yamazawa
