#BandcampGold-A Common Wonder by Amerigo Gazaway, Stevie Wonder & Common
#BandcampGold-A Common Wonder by Amerigo Gazaway, Stevie Wonder, & Common By Dan-O Amerigo Gazaway is the best mash up dude in the world right now because when he picks two artists he doesn’t just jam them together he weaves them together. He’s paired Fela Kuti with De La Soul, Mos Def with Marvin Gaye all…

#BandcampGold-Scapegoat by KGFREEZE
#BandcampGold-Scapegoat by KGFREEZE by Dan-O As someone who is fanatical for music I do not resent the layer on the outside of the onion of interest. The layer on the outside is composed of folks who just like songs going behind them: they don’t know the artists, album, and producer and that’s a valid way…

#BandcampGold-All The Beauty in This Whole Life by Brother Ali
#BandcampGold-All The Beauty in This Whole Life by Brother Ali by Dan-O The first Brother Ali album in five years is a lot to digest. It is the reunion of one of hip hop’s greatest partnerships. The underground forced Ali to record with Jake One because Jake brought out a different Ali in collaborations. Fans…

#Bandcampgold-Packs by Your Old Droog
Bandcampgold-Packs by Your Old Droog by Dan-O The most important thing to note when you hit play on Your Old Droog’s new album Packs is that this is not a freak occurrence. As special as the album is and as gifted as Droog’s flow is…New York has been bubbling for a while and now it…

#Bandcampgold= Jidenna-The Chief
Bandcampgold=Jidenna-The Chief by Dan-O The Netflix series Luke Cage did a fantastic job maximizing the musical environment it presented. One of the show stopping performances was Jidenna who absolutely tore it down. My wife looked at me and said “That guy is GOOD.” All I could do was shrug. I don’t listen to the radio…

#BandcampGold-Blue Moon by Essence
#BandcampGold-Blue Moon by Essence by Dan-O I was so excited for my wife to see Essence perform. The show was set up so acts work on different stages and trade off in a round robin. Each performer had several sets. After the first Essence set my wife gave me the description of Maine’s most important…

#BandcampGold-Ferret by Dominic and The Lucid
#BandcampGold-Ferret by Dominic and The Lucid The most terrifying thing I’ve ever encountered as an artist is falling out of my groove. Everyone gets to that place in life where they realize that their creative process doesn’t need to be perfect it just has to make sense for what you are doing. Once you do…

#Bandcampgold review-Hella Personal Film Festival by Open Mike Eagle & Paul White
#Bandcampgold review-Hella Personal Film Festival by Open Mike Eagle & Paul White by Dan-O Dark Comedy put Open Mike Eagle on the map for a lot of listeners. While I still listen and enjoy that album it feels like a battle of Dark v. Comedy and in that sense Dark wins. By the time you hit…

#Bandcampgold review-Solid Chunks of Energy by Jake McKelvie & The Countertops
#Bandcampgold review-Solid Chunks of Energy by Jake McKelvie & The Countertops by Dan-O Lyricism is so incredible because it can’t successfully be hidden. If you are really intent to find it you’ll be able to identify it. It’s not necessarily about the depth of the idea, but its vivid illustration. Jake McKelvie has that in…

#Bandcampgold review-Leave It To Believers by Johnny Cremains
#Bandcampgold review-Leave It To Believers by Johnny Cremains by Dan-O If Ballerina’s come back from the dead to kill the living, Johnny Cremains should play that event. To call their sound dark would shamefully disregard the sonic space created. During any Johnny Cremains song you’re not just hearing guitar drums and bass but theremin and…
