King Cotz – Singles Review You know…the thing about Trap music is that there sure can be a gigantic amount of words involved…sometimes I have to scratch my head & wonder where these emcees even find the time to take a breath! King Cotz out of Richmond, VA, definitely gets lost in the moment and […]Read More
Vessel Decimal – To Be And Not To Be – Album Review I actually scratched my head in wonder of when the last time I reviewed something metal-esque was when I started listening to Vessel Decimal’s new record To Be And Not To Be…definitely felt like it’s been longer than normal. Check it out at […]Read More
Melvin Fromm Jr. – Singles Review You have to wonder about what this artist & innovative music-maker would do with a full five-minutes! I’m serious…you have to wonder – I’m not actually sure if Melvin writes music over two and a half-minutes long…these four new singles bring the total up to twelve I’ve now checked […]Read More

Ice Grill – “The Book Of Life” Feat. AZ – Single Review Plenty of skill & potential in the music & rhymes from Ice Grill of Rochester, New York; like many excellent writers out there, he’s kept this one close to what he knows and has put an immense amount of detail and imagery into […]Read More
Black Astronaut – “Uppercutting Juggernauts” Feat. InZane – Single Review Strap-in and be ready for this one; once it starts, “Uppercutting Juggernauts” never lets up. The ever-impressive Black Astronaut Records cuts keep coming steadily, adding to a growing catalog of tracks that make the most of collaborative efforts between the writing of Charles Luck and […]Read More

Dave Wirth – Flutters – Album Review A new direction in sound for a musician we’ve heard in the past and reviewed in the pages here at sleepingbagstudios – Dave Wirth, formerly one-half of the duo known as Sprightly Moans is back with an all-instrumental solo-album called Flutters. Definitely a departure from the music we’ve […]Read More
Black Astronaut – “Scrambled: Finding Answers” Feat. Tino Red – Single Review Really interesting track in the Black Astronaut catalog…”Scrambled: Finding Answers” featuring the talents of reliable collaborator Tino Red, takes the music, beat & atmosphere in a softer, more tender direction. I say interesting in the sense that some of these lines are mind-blowing…extremely […]Read More
Mario Marco Farinato – “Strappami Il Cuore” – Single Review Two out of three ain’t bad – isn’t that the famous quote from Meatloaf? Truthfully, three out of three ain’t bad either – but I’ll admit of the three songs I’ve recently checked out from singer/songwriter Mario Marco Farinato, this was the most difficult of […]Read More
