“Let me tell you ’bout this…
Posted by juice1212 in Hip-Hop, Mixtapes, New Releases, Rap on July 30, 2012
Since it’s been so long since I wrote my last post, I knew that I had to write on someone absolutely amazing. Although many artists came to mind, one stood out from the crowd. I knew I had to bring in someone new with something different… And so, ladies and gentlemen, I give you, Dkay.
Born in Edmonton, Alberta, raised in Calgary, Alberta, and now at 18 years old he resides in Vancouver City, British Columbia, where he has most recently released his hits “VanCity Sh*t” and “College Party”.
Scolla’s Web Tour
Posted by T. William Gooch in Hip-Hop, R & B on April 15, 2012
Man I am so sorry I’m late on this but if you didn’t get your hands on the four tracks Scolla released back in January and February then here is your chance to hear some new tracks that are so nice that they owned Twitter for a couple of weeks before SXSW.
Late Friday night Scolla shot me a couple tweets to check up and make sure that we were doing alright out here on the left side of the country. After exchanging some pleasantries he let me know that he is finishing up some more projects and getting ready to tour this Summer. If you didn’t know he was a featured artist at SXSW, marking his third year at the festival.

It isn’t often you can get your hands on complete albums for free these days. Especially from a large group of talented musicians. If you read my posts you know I love music that feature musicians. It is astounding how many popular artists aren’t musicians and rely on synthetic noise makers to create music.
Sammy Adams Ready To Blow Up
Posted by T. William Gooch in Hip-Hop on November 28, 2011
It has been awhile since I have written about one of my favorite artists, but he has finally released something that is worth talking about. Sam Adams was an underground sensation with his Party Records release back in 2010, and he has done a great job of getting out on tour and performing live for his fans. His latest release is accompanied with a great video showing how hard he has been touring.
Black Star, Yasiin Bey, and The Colbert Report
Posted by T. William Gooch in Hip-Hop on October 24, 2011
Wow you spend a couple of weeks away from watching The Colbert Report and great things happen. Apparently Mos Def has changed his performance name to Yasiin Bey and made an appearance with Talib Kweli to promote some new music as the duo Black Star.
First off I am not happy to hear that Mos Def is using a new moniker, but he tends to be a little excentric and that is why I like him. Also, if you haven’t seen Talib Kweli on The Colbert Report before, I suggest you find his interviews because he and Colbert have a great back-and-forth. Colbert with hip-hop artist in general is always great.
The Roots Leak First Track from Upcoming LP
Posted by T. William Gooch in Hip-Hop, The Roots on October 17, 2011
Author’s Note: If you have read my posts before you will know that I am a huge fan of The Roots, with today’s news I am one of the happiest music fans in the world right now. Normally I don’t get excited for “concept albums” but anytime we can get new and original work from The Roots I am willing to give it 10 to 15 listens before I make up my mind.
The Roots are releasing another album, undon, on Dec. 6th. This new project has sort of a refreshing twist, as it is a novel with a beat. The tracks are chapters in the short life of Redford Stephens (1974-1999). From what I understand the songs work back from his death to his birth.

The Chase Is On
Posted by T. William Gooch in Hip-Hop on July 23, 2011
Man I love the feeling of hard work paying off. This blog has been active for over two years, but in the last eight months we have really put our noses to the grindstone. That extra effort is beginning to pay dividends as we are getting emails from publishing companies and artists, asking us to listen to their work. To me this feels like we are definitely grabbing some attention.
Today’s post is another artists asking us to give a listen to his new track. The best part is I have written about him before, and never thought I’d be asked via email to give him some help. Good stuff in my book.
