The first weekend in June saw Ever After Music Festival take over Bingeman’s Park and Campground for its third annual installment. This year was my first time attending the event.

Taking this a step further comes a new concept called the Goldie…

Lunice is back! The producer and TNGHT member who helped shape the trap scene has returned with his first new song in 2 years. ‘Mazerati’ builds upon the foundational sound that fans have come to know Lunice for.

In the span of just a few months, wevor trill has emerged as one of the most promising up-and-coming producers of 2017. His originals ‘drop,’ ‘yayzer beam’ and ‘aviary’ are all sure to impress and his remixes follow suit. His Post Malone remix is one of my favorite flips of the year and he’s showing no signs of slowing down.…
