Song of The Year-Recognize by Bun-B featuring TI & Big K.R.I.T. produced by Big K.R.I.T.
Song of The Year-Recognize by Bun-B featuring TI & Big K.R.I.T. produced by Big K.R.I.T. by Dan-O I’ve made the argument that the pop sphere is larger than it has ever been due to the ability to find anything. The gatekeeper role of radio and upper level music executives isn’t anywhere near as important…but I’m willing…

Mixtape Review-4 Respect by Kevin Gates & Youngboy Never Broke Again
Mixtape review-4 Respect by Kevin Gates & Youngboy Never Broke Again by Dan-O Hip hop people say the same thing to each other about Kevin Gates. We look at each other with a head scratchers facial expression and say “I think he’d be one of the best rappers in the world if he wasn’t…crazy.” Anyone who heard…

#Bandcampgold-Nostrum Grocers-Self-titled
#Bandcampgold-Nostrum Grocers-Self-titled by Dan-O Milo seems like a good dude. He lives in Maine with me and when Sorry To Bother You came here he bought out a showing so people could feel Boots Riley for the first time(get that feeling underground has had for years).

Song of The Year-Play by Big Freedia featuring Goldiie by Dan-O When I heard the album Just Be Free in 2014 I must have listened to it the way the kids look at the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park (early part of the movie). Living in Maine I’m sure I expressed wide -eyed tap- the-glass confusion…

Hivemind and the open expanse of R&B in 2018
Hivemind and the open expanse of R&B in 2018 by Dan-O I’m old and from Maine. In my high school I got made fun of for loving R&B music. My discman went everywhere with me so when people discovered I was listening to Smokey and The Miracles they would clown me. It’s interesting to think…

Song of The Year-Choosy by 03 Greedo & Nef The Pharaoh featuring Chris O Bannon & ALLBLACK by Dan-O The story of the 03 Greedo X Nef The Pharaoh collaboration EP Porter 2 Grape always points back to the depressing reality that Greedo is going to prison for 20 years for riding extra dirty. Greedo…

#Bandcampgold-Role Model by Michael Christmas
#Bandcampgold-Role Model by Michael Christmas by Dan-O A lot of the most profitable rappers have become quite good at positioning themselves as post-joy flat featured heavy-hangs-the-crown types. Of course it isn’t true for most of them but acting like the weight of the world is on your shoulders as you are at your sales high…

Song of The Year-Nont For Sale by Sudan Archives
Song of The Year-Nont For Sale by Sudan Archives by Dan-O I would bet the artist Sudan Archives knows more about the violin than I know about my family. Nont For Sale is my summer song but also a class I’m enrolled in on how to build a song. The first seven seconds are her…
