Real Talk Tuesdays: NBA Playoffs

Well, I wrote recently about my "college basketball hangover" and how I'd eventually start watching the NBA playoffs to help with the shakes - but three nights in a row last week games ended with buzzer-beater shots. They just might have my attention. Now, somebody play some fucking defense.

Madhouse Mondays: ED-APE

Might be too early for this shit but it's fun and trippy. Dig this ED-APE joint.

 

Feel Good Fridays: T.R.U.T.H

I've had the pleasure of working with local rapper T.R.U.T.H for the past year and a half. Watching her rise from open-mic artist to serious showstopper. Tonight we tackle the Cowboy Monkey - hope to see you there.

Way Gone Wednesdays: Amerigo Gazaway

Amerigo Gazaway is at it again. How 'bout a James Brown + Fela Kuti mashup? Yes please. 

Real Talk Tuesdays: Cinco de Mayo

"I don't know much about Cinco de Mayo/I'm never sure what it's all about."

Every year I think of Cake's "Mexico" - which is fine, cause it's a great song. Happy Cinco de Mayo!
