Musical artists can rarely succeed without the networking opportunities provided by an urban area but, paradoxically, that environment isn’t always conducive to creative work. In response to this dilemma, beatsmith Mike...Read More
Murph Watkins ft. Midiori & Fonz-E Mak - Is It Lust? [Premiere]
“Quis Amor?” (or “What is love,” for those who don’t read Portugese) is a question that’s occupied the minds of countless philosophers, poets and popular musicians over the ages. “Is It Lust?”, on the...Read More
Nanna B - Swim Deep [Premiere]
It’s been nearly two years since its release, but Frank Ocean‘s Swim Good is still in my regular rotation. Lucky for me, and like-minded fans of the song, it appears as though Mr. Ocean now have swimming partner in...Read More

Curtessy ft. Chaundon & Rome Clientel - Muzik Therapy [Premiere]

A.J. Crew - 6:10pm [Premiere]
By the time 6:10pm rolls around, dinner is usually the most prominent topic on my mind. A.J. Crew, on the other hand, is fully focused on his weed and his paper chase—just like he is during the other 1,349 minutes of the...Read More
Kornbread ft. Chevy Jones - Feels Good [Premiere]
I recently rekindled my love for cornbread. After not having the delicious side dish for a while, I have eaten more in the past few weeks than I have in the past few years. My love for the bread has evidently carried over...Read More
Vaig ft. Cherry Voss - My Angel [Premiere]
