FREEMUSICEMPIRE MVP OF 2018 IS ROC MARCIANO
FREEMUSICEMPIRE MVP OF 2018 IS ROC MARCIANO by Dan-O I was sitting with a table of people I respect. All involved are my age within five years. We were talking about music this year and they launched into how great Eminem is and his beef with MGK. It was difficult to find the words…

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…

Song Review-Dudley Boyz by Westside Gunn featuring Action Bronson produced by Alchemist
Song Review-Dudley Boyz by Westside Gunn featuring Action Bronson produced by Alchemist by Dan-O Have I told you how much I love Westside Gunn’s Flygod album?

Song Review-Heard Dat by Smoke Dza produced by Harry Fraud
Song Review-Heard Dat by Smoke Dza produced by Harry Fraud by Dan-O When a sound is described as “nostalgic” no part of that is complimentary.
