Song of The Year-Mirage by Quelle Chris & Chris Keys f. Earl Sweatshirt, Denmark Vessey, Merill Gabrus & Big Sen
by Dan-O I DID NOT LIKE QUELLE CHRIS. His voice is a tough hang (He makes fun of it on his new album Innocent Country 2) and he’s funny enough that I never knew how seriously to take him. All of the artists I love, love him. Feature after feature kept stacking up and eventually it […]

by Dan-O It was all supposed to be so easy. Pick 3 albums from 1997(1 rock 1 rap 1 R&B) and talk about how important they were for their time and our current time. Turns out 1997 was way more crowded with important music than I thought. Keith jumped into the decision making process and […]
