#BandcampgoldTHROWBACKWEDNESDAY-ShaShaSha
#BandcampgoldTHROWBACKWEDNESDAY-ShaShaSha by Dan-O I have never met Dominic Lavoie of Dominic & The Lucid but I imagine him as the nicest man you’d ever meet. He produces all kinds of cool albums for cool people, he jumps in and sings back up here or there. Everyone loves him. It only makes sense that he is…

Mixtape Review-White Christmas 3 by Troy Ave
Mixtape Review-White Christmas 3 by Troy Ave by Dan-O Troy Ave put out his Major Without A Deal album to the lowest sales numbers anyone could imagine. The result was classic ugly internet foolishness; the critics told everyone they knew he didn’t matter the whole time, the twitter comedians were cutting together the funniest meme’s…

Mixtape Review-The Kanan Tape by 50 Cent
Mixtape Review-The Kanan Tape by 50 Cent by Dan-O One song on 50 Cent’s new Kanan Tape (free release mixtape) flawlessly represents the conundrum of 50. The song is called Body Bags and it starts with 50 telling a story about gambling one night, when a gunman barges in, shouting for everyone to go face down…

EP Review-ONO.MATO.POEIC by Lorine Chia
EP Review-ONO.MATO.POEIC by Lorine Chia by Dan-O As the line between R&B and rap fades away you wonder how long that sliver of genius’s sat on the sidelines waiting for a market that fit them. How many great minds went into offices and had to be told they didn’t fit well enough into either category…

#ThrowbackThursday album review-R.A.W. by Daz Dillinger by Dan-O The first rap album you ever heard…maybe it was Kanye or Jay if you were young, maybe it was The Chronic or something if you’re my age…doesn’t matter.

They call these things mixtapes but we have to pay for them?
They call these things mixtapes but we have to pay for them? by Dan-O Whenever people look at me and say the mixtape doesn’t exist anymore; no difference exists between albums and mixtapes…I have to look at them confused. What do you mean? I know it’s an album because I paid for the thing. This…

#BandcampGold-Late Start by Bully Mammoth
#BandcampGold-Late Start by Bully Mammoth by Dan-O I attended the album release of the new Bully Mammoth album Late Start but it was a strange decision, a gamble for me. Bully are described as noise rock and that is not my area of expertise. The four songs they allowed to sample before their album was…

Song of The Year-Extradite by Freddie Gibbs featuring Black Thought produced by Mikhail
Song of The Year-Extradite by Freddie Gibbs featuring Black Thought produced by Mikhail by Dan-O Rap music is so hopelessly cool that the effect a new star has is inebriating. A new talent comes out of nowhere and changes the world…at least your world. So every critic has their own best-flow-in-the-business candidate and it usually…

Mixtape Review-MMM by Diddy
Mixtape Review-MMM by Diddy by Dan-O Diddy is a human tapeworm. His musical career is characterized by the systematic withdrawal of artistic vitality from those he worked with; G. Dep, Black Rob, Shyne, Loon, Craig Mack and on and on. The distaste I have for Diddy is both cavernous and voluminous in ways that should…
