![RECOMMENDED: The Skeptics – “1990Now Mixtape” [Mixed by Johnny Quest]](http://demencha.com/wp-content/themes/widezine/thumb.php?src=http://demencha.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Skeptics-EDIT.gif&w=200&h=200&zc=1&q=80&bid=1)
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...
Grammy-noted jazz composer and producer Roy Hargrove swung through the Foundation on Friday night, which turned out to be a pretty wild night in Kansas City with a lot of events going down. I first went to see Matty G at the Midland Theater downtown, and his minimal,...

![ALBUM REVIEW: Archetype – “Red Wedding” [Out Today on iTunes]](http://demencha.com/wp-content/themes/widezine/thumb.php?src=http://demencha.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/archetype-pic-EDIT.gif&w=200&h=200&zc=1&q=80&bid=1)
I'm not sure how many readers are already familiar with Archetype, the Lawrence duo of Jeremy Nesbitt and Isaac Diehl, or Nezbeat and iD. I'm not gonna get into much of a biography about these chaps, because I did some of that when I reviewed their first single from Red...
Steddy P's latest promo video for his upcoming "Better Make Room" album depicts performances across the state (MO), studio sessions with the likes of Royce Diamond, Smoov Confusion, producer Matthew Sawicki, and extracurricular shenanigans. Sawicki, who we believe is...

Confession: I don't know anything about KC's JR Tha Fly Guy, other than this video sent to us via e-mail just yesterday. On French Montana's "Shot Caller" instrumental produced by Harry Fraud, JR gets fly over a recycled horns sample which I can't put my finger on as far...
![Featured Artist of the Month: MORRI$ of Team Bear Club [Jan/Feb 2012]](http://demencha.com/wp-content/themes/widezine/thumb.php?src=http://demencha.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Morri-FAOM-EDIT-1024x583.gif&w=200&h=200&zc=1&q=80&bid=1)
Having lived all over the country in places like Philadelphia, Texas and Chicago among others, Lawrence, Kansas seems like an odd place for MORRI$’ patented style of dreamy trap beats and DJ mixes to come out of. Soon to enroll back in school at KU as a film major, the blog...
Though I loved Drake's latest album, Take Care, I thought Drake's verse on Rozay's recent "Stay Schemin" went a little too hard. Common does his best to expose Drake in this latest diss track that just came out today. The heads know that Common's never been one to cower in...
![KC-Based Beats/Electronic [2011 Music Picks]](http://demencha.com/wp-content/themes/widezine/thumb.php?src=http://demencha.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/NEZBEAT-EDIT.gif&w=200&h=200&zc=1&q=80&bid=1)
With more artists in KC doing experimental, beat music derivatives this year, I thought this separate chart would only be right. I don’t think I had near as many favorite local beats to refer to when the Demencha writers put together their 2010 music picks last year. But in...
