Posted by Nathan S. on 03/29/12 |
Filed under Downloads, Aleon Craft, SMKA, J NicsAs I've written before, as a native Boston boy in many ways the story of my hip-hop adulthood is the story of discovering how much dope hip-hop is coming out of the South. Case in point, Miami's always gravel-voiced J NiCS, who drops one hell of a slow banger with new joint "Wired Up". Listen and download...See more...

Posted by Nathan S. on 08/08/11 |
Filed under Downloads, Aleon Craft, Tom P, Nappy RootsThere's a small circle of artist who don't have a ton of "buzz", whatever that means, but I don't really give a fuck about jumping on bandwagons. (I'll leave that up to XXL.) Sometimes it's really as simple as an artist is dope and posting their music. Tom P is one of those artist. Of course he's got the "white guy trying to rap" stigma following him, but there's just on way you can listen to the man and not tell me he can rhymeSee more...

Posted by Nathan S. on 07/18/11 |
Filed under Downloads, Remixes, Aleon CraftEven a couple years ago a "rapper" rhyming over indie rock instrumentals would have been unheard of, but the game's slowly but surely becoming more expansive, thanks in no small part to the wonders of the interwebs.
