The Atif – “Sweet Spot” – Single Review Been quite a while since we checked out The Atif! It was back in 2015 when we reviewed a handful of singles from the man – and he’s back with a solid crossover cut that’s got genuine flash & dazzle in the sparkling hooks that run through […]Read More
Lay B – Turbulence – Album Review An emcee with killer instincts, supreme talent, and the right beats to work with – Lay B has put together a stunning record with the set-list of songs on Turbulence.

Maddie Leigh – “Boys Aren’t Like That Anymore” – Single Review Don’t get me wrong…as a grizzled old grey-bearded dude, I’m not gonna lie to ya and say I can relate to absolutely everything that sensational young artist Maddie Leigh is singing about on “Boys Aren’t Like That Anymore” – but you might be surprised […]Read More
The Kid Chocolate Band – The One With Love Songs – EP Review Little is known about this band out of Long Beach, California…in fact, aside from their location and the assumption that the four people in the photos I can find are all in The Kid Chocolate Band…not too much else I can tell […]Read More

Joshua – Your Time Is Coming Soon… – Album Review “Do not assume that I have come to bring peace on Earth.” While that might very well be the case here homies, Joshua also stands a great chance of uniting the people through the music he makes as he prepares for battle, ready to scorch […]Read More
My Little Morties – Mr. Potato’s Circus For Autistic Children Pt 1 – EP Review Brace yourselves, for here we go again into the dark abyss of sound collage via the music of My Little Morties for the second time in less than a month. It was just earlier this year in June that we […]Read More
The Horror – Here, In The Shadows – Album Review I kind of feel like this is the record I’ve been missing this year.
