WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

  • WE NEEDED ICE SPICE

    Hip hop has found itself in a funny place lately. Everyone’s broke. There’s been a pandemic. Energy bills are out of control. Prices are going up. It’s difficult to listen to someone talk about how many millions they’ve got hanging off their wrist. It’s tough to stomach listening to someone complain about how lonely they

  • RAULT

    Have you heard of Michael Rault? Well, there’s a good chance he released the finest LP of 2022, if you’re into perfect pop that’s cut with all good things like West Coast 70s music, Paul McCartney’s Wings, ELO (aka Beatles: The Musical), Harry Nilsson etc. If you need more modern recommendations, then file Michael Rault

There’s good music down there. From Jacksonville, there’s SAILORR, who has a fair amount of buzz around them at the minute, thanks…

  • NEW OBONGJAYAR IS ACE

    He’s based in the UK, but Nigerian born, Obongjayar – who is new to us – has announced a new record called ‘Paradise Now’, which we’ll all be able to hear in May. ‘Sweet Danger’ is the name of the new track, and honestly, whatever we were expecting from looking at a thumbnail, this ain’t…

  • MORE WORDPLAY FROM AESOP ROCK

    He’s one of the hardest lyricists on the planet, with almost unmatched wordplay for the most part, and with that, has come a legend cemented in the underground.
