Felt: Felt 3: A Tribute to Rosie Perez (Reviews)

Album sequels are a hell of a lot like movie sequels. In other words, they are usually immense letdowns. Just look to Jay-Z’s The Blueprint 2 and The Blueprint 3, both of which didn’t live up to the greatness of the original. In the movie world, there ...

History? It's history | Andrew Martin

Ed Balls has announced that primary school history is to be subsumed into an "area of learning" called "historical, geographical and social understanding". Personally I did prefer the words "history" and "geography", partly because they're shorter. ...

Rakim: The Seventh Seal (Review)

Rakim Allah (who I’ll refer to in a number of ways throughout this review) will always be known as one of the best to ever do it. His legacy can withstand even the most deadly blows to an artist, from album delays, of which he has suffered many, to a ...

People Under the Stairs: Carried Away (Reviews)

Fun-loving hip-hop is rarely this good. California’s People Under the Stairs have this subgenre of hip-hop on lock. Sure, this duo makes the occasional serious cut and these guys, in the words of Rakim, ain’t no joke. There are, of course, exceptions, ...

Nicolay: City Lights Vol. 2: Shibuya (Review)

I certainly hope you have your bags packed before popping this disc into your stereo or loading it onto your mp3 player. If not, that’s fine. I guess. But don’t be surprised if playing Nicolay’s latest, , has you craving a trip to the Japanese city of ...

Jern Eye: Vision (Capsule Reviews)

Oakland emcee Jern Eye has been bouncing around the underground hip-hop scene for the last 13 years or so, both as a solo artist and member of the Lunar Heights crew. Like many Bay Area acts, though, his “breakout” moment never really came. There were ...

DOOM: Unexpected Guests (Review)

Daniel Dumile has gone by a slew of aliases over the years. From his humble beginnings as a peach fuzz-sporting Zev Love X to his current days as the pot-bellied DOOM, this elusive emcee/producer wears his musical schizophrenia on his sleeve like none ...

Fly Gypsy: The Vodka & Rum Mixtape (Capsule Reviews)

The concept behind this duo’s The Vodka & Rum Mixtape intrigues. It’s a blend of beats, both new and remixed, by producer Alexei Jendayi with emcee Kowboy Kom handling vocal duties (except for the verses lifted from the likes of 2pac, Nas, Kanye West, ...

Apathy: Wanna Snuggle? (Capsule Reviews)

First and foremost, let’s get any discussion of this album’s artwork out of the way. Sure, it’s kind of ugly, but let’s not judge an album by its cover. Wanna Snuggle is the kind of album that just deserves more than some snarky remarks about its cover. ...

Farrar, Hegyvary at CycleU Launch Party

Most kids dream of the 9th inning HR, or the last second hoop, or whatever. For the rest of us who make pilgrimages to the Alpine passes or to the Belgian Cobbles - here’s where you need to be Saturday night. CycleU is opening a new training facility ...
