#BandcampGold: Lukah – When The Black Hand Touches You *free content*
by Ed Hernandez When the legendary Atlanta group Outkast said “The South got something to say” at The Source awards in 94′ they weren’t lying, nor were they claiming that it was only them saying it. The south had been giving us heavy, thought provoking music for years pre-Outkast and it’s only blown up since…

Song of The Year-Pose (remix) by Yo Gotti featuring Lil Uzi Vert and Megan Thee Stallion
Song of The Year-Pose (remix) by Yo Gotti featuring Lil Uzi Vert and Megan Thee Stallion by Dan-O Untrapped is full throttle fun. Yo Gotti is a heck of a beat picker and Ben Billions really held him down on this album. He works directly on five of the fifteen tracks and they are all…

Track Breakdown: Time Machine Edition-A.D. 2000 by Erykah Badu
Track Breakdown: Time Machine Edition-A.D. 2000 by Erykah Badu by Dan-O The public perception of Badu has always been that she is nuts. She dates important musicians and messes up their heads. I have to be honest…her discography is full of songs that make perfect sense to me. She’s weird but I’m weird and the public…

Song Review-Special by Gucci Mane featuring Anuel AA produced by Murda Beatz and Cubeatz
Song Review-Special by Gucci Mane featuring Anuel AA produced by Murda Beatz and Cubeatz By Dan-O The reasons you should think of Gucci Mane as a genius lyricist are pretty straight forward: 1.

Song of The Year-Speedboat by Denzel Curry produced by Rugah Rahj
Song of The Year-Speedboat by Denzel Curry produced by Rugah Rahj by Dan-O Very few people do what Denzel Curry does. That is what struck me when I listened to his new album ZUU and heard him rapping with Rick Ross over a crunchy jagged industrial beat. If you are an old school hip hop head…

Song of The Year-Threat 2 Society by 2 Chainz produced by 9th Wonder
Song of The Year-Threat 2 Society by 2 Chainz produced by 9th Wonder by Dan-O Shout out to 9th Wonder who knows the transcendent power of the right sample. Go ahead and find The Truthettes- So Good To Be Alive and bask in how pimpish that gospel song already is. Pumping it up, speeding it up and passing…

Mixtape Review-Savage Holidays by Boosie Badazz
Mixtape Review-Savage Holidays by Boosie Badazz by Dan-O Savage Holidays is the greatest Christmas rap album of all time. The ability of Boosie to be able to take his superpower (turning painful stories/imagery into stadium sized anthems) and apply it to the holiday season is nothing short of exhilarating. It is not just his pain either. At the end…

#Bandcampgold-Malik Ruff by Quadry
#Bandcampgold-Malik Ruff by Quadry by Dan-O Malik Ruff is an album I really like. I don’t have it numerically placed on my list of year end albums yet (it just came out November 2nd) but I really like it. The project washes over you. It balances a distinct ambiance that soaks your sonic pace and tempo with a real…

Song review-Goyard by Lil Debbie produced by Kid Class
Song review-Goyard by Lil Debbie produced by Kid Class by Dan-O I will be forgiven for not being all in on Lil Debbie when she popped. She came about during that big 2011 White Girl Mob mess that spawned V-Nasty & Kreayshawn. She came in the game as a tiny white girl with a pronounced…
