Tech N9ne and his Strange fam (some new, some old) are scheduled to rock the shit out of the Midland Theater tonight in downtown KCMO as only they know how. When I went to the Strange headquarters on Monday, Tech apologized to Kutty Slitz' girlfriend for being so "sweaty" as he...
KC-based hip hop artist, radio show host and label owner (among other things), Mac Lethal, is penciled in for a show tonight at the Riot Room in Westport KCMO with Astronautalis and Busdriver. It looks like tickets are going for about $15 at the door if you don't have your...
I got a phone call from the man/myth/legend, the KC-based lyrical master and founding member of Ces Cru, Kutty Slitz on Monday afternoon. "Hello?" "Meet me out there..." My first excursion to the Strange Music headquarters/compound turned out to be amazing, after a...

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...
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...
Last Sunday, I was fortunate enough to meet the kickass members of Kansas City-based, Now Now Sleepyhead. Not only were these guys hilarious, down to earth, and sweet as pie, but the bassist Brian actually served Chris and me with two pieces of delicious pie from our interview...
