5 Questions for Chris Crack
by Dan-O I’m me for the sole purpose that nobody else can do that. I don’t think the Chris Crack of 2017 could fathom the run he is on right now. No blueprint existed for making albums this way. His release schedule this year: White People Love Algorithms in April, Cute Boys (The Rise of […]

FREEMUSICEMPIRE: State of the game vol. 1
by Dan-O That’s right! For the first time I linked up with one of my most trusted associates (K DIGGY) and jumped into a dope music discussion. I have these all the time and they are always this silly/serious/detailed I am overjoyed to get to share one of them with all of you. Watch […]

#Bandcampgold-Black Beans by Exile x Choosey
#Bandcampgold-Black Beans by Exile x Choosey by Dan-O The world makes us feel terrible. Mac Miller and Nipsey Hussle are dead. Ogres are in power and they don’t even lie to us about how old evil and full of greed/hate they are. Music is necessary, all kinds of music. Black Beans is a beam of light on the […]

Fight for The Future of Lil Uzi Vert
Fight for The Future of Lil Uzi Vert by Dan-O We complain a lot. All of us do. In Hip Hop, we get mad at youngsters for not doing what the older generations would do. Real rap problems exist: loss of interesting word usage, too much of a focus on ad-libs, drug addiction creating a generation […]
