The first time I had ever heard of Mark Redito, I was in an airport in Chicago heading home. I stumbled upon his bootleg of ‘It G Ma‘ and he has been one of my favorites ever since.

Earl Sweatshirt returns once again, dropping probably his most soulful track, ‘Balance.’ Backed by smooth instrumentals produced by Knxwledge, Earl diverts yet again from the distinct sound we thought we knew him for in his most recent album I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside. Instead, his melancholic lyrics are softer, and have more to do with life rather…

A sassy snare starts out this track which is part of three track release on 4B’s return EP Weapons 2.0. As the deep darkened vocal sample announces their entrance, the drums will start to rattle your ribs. As the sun sets on the intro you are engulfed by the bass line.

This year’s 19th annual event took place from August 5th-7th, at the Salmo River Ranch; however, thanks to early entry up to two days in advance,…

Deep within the Fractal Forest at BC’s Shambhala Music Festival, you can hear (or more so, feel) the amount of funk and bass weaving through its branches, as well as through the bodies and souls of some of the festival’s 15,000 attendees. The first night feels long, especially for the unsuspecting first-timers, with all of the festival’s stages open and…

One thing all of us on this vast continent lack is culture. Most, if not all are reluctant to recognize that there are many different types of food, clothing, architecture and most importantly music within this beautiful green and blue sphere that we all involuntarily share. Language barriers are partly to blame but the unique thing about music is that…

There is nothing holy about this murderous track that is slashing its way through the charts. DJ Khaled’s album Major Key is set to release July 29th and it will most definitely be on my wishlist. The collaborations on it include some of today’s hottest rappers like Kanye West, Jay Z, Future, Lil Wayne, and Rick Ross. I know that…
