#Bandcampgold-Songs.4. People. Who.Break.Bread by Niko Is produced by Thanks Joey By Dan-O More than anything else Songs.4.People.Who.Break.Bread is a celebration of leveling up. I have been writing about Niko Is every year since his marvelously perfect 2012 Chill Cosby mixtape. Since that time he has been feverishly releasing material, touring, and playing his position. He’s…

Song Review-Bamboo by Skyzoo produced by MarcNfinit
Song Review-Bamboo by Skyzoo produced by MarcNfinit by Dan-O Skyzoo is so gifted that at times he’s too much for himself. At points in his discography his high IQ on jazz meets his high IQ pen and he puts out projects no one can understand. His new eight song project Peddler Themes is Skyzoo in…

#SampleSnitch-You are Who You Sample: Isley Brothers to UGK
#SampleSnitch-You are who you sample: Isley Brothers to UGK by Dan-O If a rapper who produces is selecting the same artist to sample over the course of their career you start to see the connection. The latest example is Kanye West and Nina Simone (http://www.vinylmeplease.com/magazine/kanye-west-sings-blues/ great in depth article on that) the two share that kind…

#Bandcampgold-Triple Fat Lice by Homeboy Sandman & Aesop Rock
Bandcampgold-Triple Fat Lice by Homeboy Sandman & Aesop Rock by Dan-O It comes out of nowhere in the most assured, thick New York accent “I didn’t vote I already got enough sticka’s.”By the time it hits my ears I’m letting out an audible OOOO making bitter beer face in public. I stare at my phone…

Mixtape Review-Jugg King by Young Scooter
Mixtape Review-Jugg King by Young Scooter by Dan-O From afar I like Young Scooter. When I think about how much trap has changed and how much Scooter’s new mixtape Jugg King is right in the pocket of F.B.G. The Movie mixtape from 2013 my overactive mind wanders. Does Scooter see these new happier trappers and…

Mixtape Review-In Tune We Trust by Lil Wayne
Mixtape Review-In Tune We Trust by Lil Wayne by Dan-O Looking back on what Wayne accomplished is shocking, even if you start at 2007. By the end of 2008 he had sold 2.88 million copies of Carter III and changed how pop rap albums sound forever. He created the pop mixtape market with his Dedication…

Mixtape Review-Red Corolla by Domo Genesis
Mixtape Review-Red Corolla by Domo Genesis by Dan-O Odd Future turned out to be a pretty awesome buffet of talent you could pick and choose from. I chose Domo Genesis from the very beginning, a no nonsense rappers rapper with an endless appetite to spit. When Domo put his debut album out last year he…

Goodbye and Thank You-Prodigy
Goodbye and Thank You-Prodigy by Daniel Olney Anger and depression are the most interesting shows to watch they present the adversity that begs the question; how to overcome it. Entertainers are well aware of this and some of our favorite musicians (rappers being no exceptions) are actors digging through the lovely life they have for…

Peeling The Layers of Damn
Peeling The Layers of Damn by Dan-O The rewarding part of Kendrick Lamar’s album Damn is how many layers it has while not demanding anything of you. If you just want to enjoy it you can do that. I got together with my cohort Lewis Richards and we analyzed the religious themes present in the album.…
