As you all recently found out, I’ve got an immense amount of love and adoration for SPACECOWBOY. His brand of electronica is more than just the sum of its parts, really. There’s always a story there, always something deeper nestling under the surface. With his latest track, “Rain,” he bridges the gap between his electronic … More SPACECOWBOY Returns with Moody Track “Rain”

Yoon Mi-rae is back, and this time she’s going after throats. Once again, the undisputed queen of Korean hip-hop has displayed why she’s had the throne for twenty years. “Kawi Bawi Bo” is an anthem, point blank. It’s a song that speaks of revolution, of finding your place, standing your ground, taking no stuff from … More Queen T Did Not Come to Play: Kawi Bawi Bo
It’s official. I am trash. This is no exaggeration. When it comes to certain artists, I’ve very neatly folded myself into a dumpster and allowed myself to be consumed by the messy greatness of my favorites. The list of those artists to whom I’ve willingly given my entire kingdom is actually quite few. Artists who, … More I Am Human Trash for Victim Mentality: A SXSW Tale
