Review: Kanye West – “Yeezus”
Kanye West Yeezus Universal/Def Jam – June 18th 2013 By Elyse Hill (@elyselikeswords) Find it at: iTunes | Insound | HMV Digital 9.5 For a record that was briefly speculated to be called I Am God, Kanye West’s chosen title of Yeezus comes off as tame wordplay, ill-preparing his own audience for the wildly aggressive verses and provocative one liners to follow.

TRACK/MP3: Rihanna – “Diamonds (Remix)”
RIHANNA may get knocked for releasing seven albums in seven years but this Unapologetic take featuring Kanye West is just a small sample of that her head is in the right place. Compared to other numbing artist-produced cuts with Future (“Loveeeeeee Song”) and Mikky Ekko (“Stay”), this remix of “Diamonds” gets ruthless with an opening verse from the Barbadian diva’s friend who goes on to prove he’s on...

As a reminder, this is just a glimpse of the new G.O.O.D. Music LP with more guests set to... Read More
REVIEW: BadBadNotGood – “BBNG2″
[Apr. 2nd 2012 - Self-Released // Find it at: Official Website | Soundcloud] ______________________________________________________________ Coming out of the gutter of Toronto with covers of Odd Future tracks and a very hush hush identity, instrumental trio BadBadNotGood have now crafted a style and level of reinterpretation that’s almost like an elementary school bully taunting its weaker foes. BBNG2 provides proof there’s no one out... Read More
INTERVIEW: Kreayshawn
Stuck in the middle of a generation fascinated with Twitter, Facebook “likes” and cultural trends (“Let’s bring back planking!”), West Coast figure KREAYSHAWN is contending to separate herself as a talented artist from the daily batch of mediocre. But as anyone can point out – it’s a monumental challenge, especially when your self-produced Internet music video currently sits at 30 million views and a new... Read More
