It’s been a while since Harlem put out something like this so you know I has to rep big…
The hip hop nation is in geopolitical disarray. Its biggest emerging stars of recent years — Drake andWiz Khalifa — are from Toronto and Pittsburgh, respectively, while the city that birthed it barely registers as a blip on the national [...]
Last week we experienced some major player hating from The Man that eventually led to a subpar release of anti-winter 3A. If you haven’t heard or downloaded that one yet check out last weeks post here and spread the word, the kid Ryan Radler is bringing nothing but heat and something that good should not [...]
There’s a lot to say about the third year of Electric Zoo Festival in New York City. It’s a big deal for us northeast coasters, because it is the biggest electronic music festival to happen on our side.
