Song of the year-Hell Of A Night by Schoolboy Q produced by DJ Dahi
Song of the year-Hell Of A Night by Schoolboy Q produced by DJ Dahi by Dan-O Every important boxer, important enough to have every other boxer wanting to fight them, had someone they just flat out didn’t want to fight. Sugar Ray Robinson ended his career with one hundred and seventy three wins but he…

Mixtape Review-The Drive In Theatre by Curren$y
Mixtape Review-The Drive In Theatre by Curren$y by Dan-O After reviewing music from the New Orleans juggernaut Curren$y for years I’ve become guilty of a cardinal musical sin. I realized after my second listening of his new mixtape The Drive In Theatre that he had spoiled me. The run of projects he has had in…

Song Review-Dick Walk by DPGC
Song Review-Dick Walk by DPGC by Dan-O Why would grown men make a song called Dick Walk? Why would another grown man write about it? Life is full of interesting questions. Honestly, I was chomping at the bit to write about Snoop Dogg who post-Snoop Lion has been making some very interesting music. He teamed…

Mixtape Review-Young Jefe by Shy Glizzy
Mixtape Review-Young Jefe by Shy Glizzy by Dan-O A weird voice cuts two ways; one mans innovation in intonation is another’s fingernails down the chalkboard. I have to warn you about this because Glizzy has a whine flow all his own that might shut you down before you even get the chance to think about…

Song Review-Mandela by Cyhi The Prynce produced by Sekou Muhammed & TEC Beatz
Song Review-Mandela by Cyhi The Prynce produced by Sekou Muhammed & TEC Beatz by Dan-O Cyhi The Prynce is the kind of talent that can be painful. The wit that staggers with lines like “and I don’t need a beat cause I can easily speak to these N’s through the frequencies…” can’t help but get…

Mixtape Review-Beautiful Pimp 2 by Rome Fortune
Mixtape Review-Beautiful Pimp 2 by Rome Fortune by Dan-O Nothing that has come out in 2014 is as comprehensively arresting as Beautiful Pimp 2. It doesn’t exhibit any of the cool calculation of a pimp mixtape or any of the depth that an introspective one provides. On Money Memories his flow moves like a slinky,…

Mixtape Review-Keys of Heaven by Al Doe
Mixtape Review-Keys of Heaven by Al Doe by Dan-O An artist’s sound betrays his or her intentions. You can listen to the very first B.O.B. mixtape and know he was meant to be on every radio (that’s not an insult either). The opposite of that B.O.B. listening is Al Doe. No one hearing the dogs…

Mixtape Review-Produce vol. 1 by Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.
Mixtape Review-Produce vol. 1 by Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. by Dan-O One of the uncomfortable conversations I will be forced to have with my son is how our generation turned Pop Music into a negative term for simple elitist gains. We snickered at chart topping hits and re-classified the ones we liked into other genres.…

From The Inbox….
From The Inbox…. QuePac EP by Dan-O It’s not enough to be odd. A lot of the weakest submissions to our FME inbox have been people TRYING to be tough rappers or weird rappers. What strikes you at once about the duo from Bushwick (QuePac consists of Paco the Dopest Nerd and Que Cee) is…

Mixtape Review-Pulp Fiction by Miloh Smith
Mixtape Review-Pulp Fiction by Miloh Smith by Dan-O I always feel that the best mixtapes are made by people having fun. Even Hell Rell. A lot of them are free agents looking to get signed making music that they would like to hear. Even signed artists have less oversight to deal with on a free…
