1. A little genuine enjoyment goes a long way.
When I heard that A$AP Rocky would be part of the Club Paradise tour I was overcome with giddy schoolgirl joy. After I had calmed down a bit, I began to wonder what an A$AP set would look like at the Sprint Center. The A$AP...

I haven't watched the Grammys in at least a few years, so here it goes.
1. After Jay-Z and Kanye won best hip hop something, neither of them were in the house to accept their award. Do hip hop artists still boycott the Grammy's in 2012? After presenting the award, Marc...

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.

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...

All three of these dudes put out fantastic new records this year. Drake's Take Care, Kendrick Lamar's Section 80 and ASAP's LiveLoveA$AP have all been in heavy rotation for me over the past few months. Just when I thought it would be quite a while before another...
