Detroit rapper ZelooperZ — who was born in the 313 and still resides there — is part of Danny Brown’s Bruiser Brigade. Interestingly, they connected via Twitter when the 6’7″ ZelooperZ was promoting a mixtape like crazy and Brown took notice. But before Brown took him into the studio he gave him a proper initiation by…

HXLT is how Chicago’s eclectic musician Holt is spelling his name these days. The reason why is one of the few things I didn’t think to ask him about, but I imagine it’s to make you wonder how it’s supposed to be said, to get you thinking, to ultimately make you remember it. In any…

Sometimes even the best artists lose their mojo. Sometimes even the best artists fall prey to their big egos. Sadly, Kanye West has done both with his new album, The Life of Pablo. But did we really need a new album to learn these things about Kanye? Probably not. It was pretty obvious that he’d…

The wonderful thing about checking out new music is that sometimes, on rare occasions, you come across something so fantastic that you can’t believe you’ve lived your life so far without it. It’s that whole “where have you been all my life” factor, and that’s precisely how I felt the first time I listened to…

EDITED TO ADD: Around 11:30 this morning (January 27th) I was posting a new review and when I reloaded the main page I saw that the soundcloud player for this track was gone, which almost certainly means that it was deleted from Soundcloud. Perhaps he regrets expressing such absurd opinions.

Well, folks, today we have news from Kanye West… He has tweeted the tracklist for his new album, SWISH, about which he tweeted “so happy to be finished with the best album of all time.” But what the list reads isn’t entirely clear. We see “Waves,” “High Lights,” “80 Hours,” “No More Parties in LA,” “Fade,”…

Are you among the 60 million people who’ve seen the zany video for Psy’s big comeback song “Daddy” yet? If not, click play above already! Do it! Suffice to say that Psy is back with his crazy dance moves, amusing sight gags, and lots of general weirdness. The song isn’t bad either. Actually, the song’s great.…

A little while ago I wrote an article called 5 Rap Artists You Must Hear Now. Or something like that. I’m too busy focusing on this killer song by Apathy to check. But, yes, Apathy was on that list. And, seriously, he’s one of the best rappers out there who isn’t a household name. But…

“It’s the weekend on the west coast,” sings Classified on his red hot new single “No Pressure.” He also sings, “It’s the weekend on the east coast,” wisely not choosing one over the other. But this is actually a rap song. You see, the dude can rap and also sing his own hooks, which isn’t…

The beats are catchy as they are snappy and Ross does some of his best rapping to date. The hook is great, too. And kudos to him for doing this on his own without any guest stars.

.And now for something completely different. We have a mix of hip-hop and electronica that’s sure to keep you guessing throughout. It’s unpredictable like that, which is why it’s so awesome. You never know what’s going to happen from one second to the next. But you know one thing from the get go: it’s fresh…

Let’s face it, Drake’s last album, If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late, wasn’t nearly as good as his previous, Nothing Was The Same. The beats didn’t compare and Drake sounded rather uninspired. But we’re thrilled with his new single, “Hotline Bling.” He sounds like his old self and the beats are mighty potent, too.…

“Downtown” is Chris River’s first single from the album Medicated Consumption, which will be out on October 21st. First of all, the Lana Del Rey sample is what first made me fall in love with this song. That’s how it begins, so of course that’s going to hook you first? But then Chris starts rapping…
