Hello wonderful people, This past weekend I attended a community event put out by independent music label , Arthaus. The event was a lowkey, and chill experience.

Written By YOSHISUHN In the early stages of hip hop culture authenticity wasn’t an option but a requirement. Modern rap is now marketed to focus on everything but the progression of sound and content. Within such a repetitious landscape shaking the contemporary standard is a … Continue reading Vince Staples Remains An Outlier with “Are You With That?”
What makes Madvillainy so damn good? For me, this is the album that epitomizes the DOOM character and helps tell his story with the most clarity in concise bars that almost seem like they could have been throw-aways. Doom’s humor and charm is on full-display. … Continue reading Vinyl Mango Episode Three
