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…

Nickelus F-Vices mixtape review
Nickelus F-Vices mixtape review by Dan-O You can hear Nickelus F blow Drake off of his own tracks when Drake was focused on rapping (Room for Improvement era). For my ears it never translated to his music, he always had a masterful in your face flow but came off as a shock rapper. Having a…
