The 54th annual Grammy Awards coming up this Sunday, to be hosted by LL Cool J, will now include a special electronica/dance segment performance featuring Lil' Wayne, Deadmau5, Foo Fighters, David Guetta, and Chris Brown. I'm not necessarily sure what Weezy, Breezy and the Foo...

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...

As usual, the VS battle on Saturday night prompted a lot of "ooohs" and "aaahs". DRplus2, Barbaric Merits, Info Gates and Ghost competed in a beat battle royal with Ghost playing drums over his own pre-recorded tracks. Barbaric Merits left with the prize, while former Demencha...
Jay Rel's "Highly Underrated" mixtape will be arriving to mixtape hosting site, datpiff.com on Sunday. I was encouraged to finally throw up a freebie today from the forthcoming release, "Oh No", over a Lil Wayne beat of the same title from The Carter II. On this one, Jay...

STLien, Tef Poe, rocked the shit out of the Riot Room in Westport a couple of months ago for Indyfest 2. His latest video, "Coming Outta Missouri", puts on for The MO as a whole, obviously from a St. Louis perspective but to an equally rocking effect. Nice beat selection...
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...

[pictured: Young Fierce] I've bolded the two names on this list of about 20 local names, marked as the spoken word artists I'm most looking forward to seeing at this. Young Fierce is still making music, I've come to realize after linking up with him on facebook recently. I...

Remember Parisian-producer, Onra, and KC singer, Reggie B's big room soul track from last year, "High Hopes" (which now has over 100,000 plays on youtube)? Well, based on Reggie's recent house fire at his home in KC, he and Onra have apparently decided to release a brand...

Vocalist/producer, Second Hand King (Overland Park), just sent us an e-mail today with some new music he has out. He refers to the style that he's doing now as a combination of doo wop and hip hop. Regarding his voice, he kind of reminds us of a cross between Eyedea (RIP)...
