Way Gone Wednesdays: Frank Leone

Last year I wanted to book a show with newcomer Frank Leone but he was too young to put on the bill. Last night he dropped his first full length album and it's a keeper. I watched this kid work his ass off, make his own beats and put this out into the world. The hustle is alive in this one. Dig.

Way Gone Wednesdays: Opio & Free The Robots

Ready for some heady space raps? Opio & Free The Robots have teamed up for this brief but bizarre banger. Dig in.
