Topeka, KS-based hip hop group, The Skeptics, have only been active for about a year-and-a-half. But they nearly sold out their show at the Jackpot in Lawrence just a couple of weeks ago, according to Lawrencian, Johnny Quest. This is not a small feat, especially when...

[pictured: Miles Bonny] Miles and Stik add some passion and consciousness to Drake's "Headlines" beat. I've been a big fan of Miles' cover/remix work over the past few years. Beyond that, I think that he and Stik Figa are a great tandem. Miles Bonny HEADLINES REMIX...
In this brief interview which took place in NYC, Kendrick Lamar and Jay Rock talk about their respective upcoming albums. Lamar put out what I consider to be the baddest hip hop record of 2011, Section .80, and it sounds as though he'll...

Kendrick Lamar's partner in rhyme, Schoolboy Q, is set to drop his newest, the "Habits & Contradictions" release on January 14th. This is the latest freebie floating around on the net, "Blessed", produced by Dave Free. Kendrick Lamar dropped my hands down favorite record of...
10. Young Fate - "All Gass" [prod. Mr. Fresh] Ladies and gentlemen, hit play and start your engines. This video player popped up in February and sees Fate spitting game over a real heat-rock from Mr. Fresh. While Young Fate verses are on my brain, his 16 on Ron Ron’s...
10. Bon Iver - Bon Iver I almost left this one off, but I felt like I would be remiss not to include an indie album that has received praise and attention from so many varying corners of pop culture. Singer/songwriter Justin Vernon’s home state of Wisconsin declared not...
Being asked to write this article just further proves that I’m like a movie critic when it comes to judging music. I can tell you what I hate, and exactly why I think it sucks, but when asked to come up with a top-ten list this year, I was just kind of like “uhhh..i...
So, I've had a lot of trouble writing this, because there wasn't much that immediately came to mind when I was asked to compile this year's list. Is it just me, or is everybody overly excited about intentionally boring music this year? Half of this stuff sounds like Xanax grew...
