Fred Vanterra – Waikiki Synth – Album Review It’s almost too easy to picture Fred rocking the heck out in his living room with the synths blasting through the speakers all around him. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure he ends up in some kind of studio or whatever to make the finalized product you’re […]Read More
Otherish – “Their Mistake” – Single Review Not a bad tune at all. Good lord though…I ain’t gonna lie to ya…Otherish seems like they’d be tough to keep up to. I was reading about “Their Mistake” before I heard it myself, and came out with a shrug and a ‘huh?’ in terms of trying to […]Read More
Thy Veils – “Influx” – Single Review Ayyyy this is always a treat for the ears – it’s our favorite project based out of Romania, Thy Veils!

Moon And Aries – Break The Matrix (Episode Two) – EP Review “Mind the mess as I press the buttons, one for creation, one for destruction…” I love that line from the opening track on the new record by Moon And Aries, who returned with their promised second EP of their Break The Matrix trilogy […]Read More
BenYaTheArtist – “My Testimony” – Single Review “I do realize that maybe these rhymes are not good enough to get this message across…” Honestly? The message comes across crystal clear homie.

Alke – “Touching Me Now” – Single Review Well now…this is something special. Sometimes I have to give my head a shake and realize I’ll never actually be able to listen to everything, no matter how hard I try. Usually those moments come along when I discover an artist like Alke, who sound absolutely phenomenal, […]Read More
Mr.Reaper – “Ballad Of The Reaper” – Single Review Like I was mentioning just this past week, it’s been an outstanding week/month/year for Rap/Hip-Hip in independent scene right now.
