Okay, we all missed one here. The video for Jaunt’s masterfully chaotic “Faster Interactions” was released on March 23rd of this year, and I feel like a failure for not having heard it then. This song pulls off a sound that typically can only be done by those like Connan Mockasin…

Growing into himself musically across his latest release, Vanilla Blue, Alex Bent dove into the emptiness stretching before him in the hopes of grasping the abyss… and he may very well do it.

With today’s media being oversaturated with mediocre and unthoughtful content, it is always refreshing to discover a rising artist with the determination to create something with purpose. After our EIC, Jacob Blieu, introduced me to Tullis’ work, I was quickly convinced that he’s a vivid example of a passionate artist.
Starting his musical journey at the young age of thirteen, later experimenting in his band, “Bears and Airplanes”, and then continuing his career as a solo artist, it is safe to say that Tullis (who goes by his last name) will be an Arizona artist to remember. By…

Jack Larsen has impressed me on many of his past tracks, but “Ugly” is truly one of the artist’s best.

With its dynamic and constant developments throughout, “Ugly” lets you dance to the sound of…

One of my favorite new artists remixed one of my favorite songs and it’s fucking sweeeeet. DMV rapper, IDK comes in hot with a new take on 50 Cent’s classic track, “Wanksta”. On “WHY?” (the remixed version of the 2002 hit) IDK reuses the hook and supports it with endless bars that perfectly capture the raw energy originally delivered by 50 over a decade ago, while separating himself as a whole other beast. While walking through the streets of New York, IDK once again proves…

I am happy to bring you the newest content from the stellar Hip-Pop duo, MONEYPHONE. Earlier in August, I wrote about their inspirational EP, Athletes, and now they have brought us the video for the titular song of the project. Much like on the track itself, the video oozes quirky charm and the pair (high school friends Enoch and David) have a pure chemistry that you can feel all throughout the video, just as much as you do in their music.
