Just last week, I happened to see a Verizon commercial on Monday Night Football featuring XV's "Awesome", produced by Seven (who's also been known to work with Tech N9ne quite a bit). Watch out for an EP under the same title from Vizzy very soon. While I think THIS is...

Yesterday didn't even feel like Friday. And if you don't have the monies to get over to Pretty Lights at the Midland this evening, what's being billed as the PL latenight afterparty is probably a good bet for some great tunes as well. Anticipate surprise guest MCs and...

KC-based beatmaker, Dan Matic, repeatedly referred to his music as "obnoxious" throughout this interview recently conducted at his home in Westport KCMO. I think he meant it in a good way, but when I personally think of the word obnoxious to describe current, "gritty"...

Out of all of DR+'s stuff, this is the least impressive. Don't get me wrong, the kid is a tremendous talent, but J Dilla tribute mixtapes are sooooo played out. I'm not trying to throw dirt on the man's grave by any means. It is obvious that Dilla inspired DR+ to a...
