The formal sentence was death by lyrical injection and Marco & Ruste are finally set to oversee The eXXecution with Duck Down Records approval. R. Juxx cranks up the intensity level for those anticipating the album’s March 23rd release date.
Not quite ahead of its time, but still hardcore enough to leave their peers…well…in the rearview mirror.

After an impressive run for Fall and Winter, Penfield is releasing their Spring/Summer line. Paris boutique Starcow got the drop and shared initial images. A few of these lightweight jackets and the colors used push the clock back to the 80’s. The simplicity should attract everyone from those following trends to others who actually look to wear their goods out into their environment....

Keeping in line with the M.O. of the EP, The one they call Scudda continues to prove he is Not Your Average Joe. Last time, he did it adjacent to a few of his esteemed colleagues while letting the car stereos tweak. Now, he’s the only one guilty for a verbal manslaughter as he invites all opposition into his personal gauntlet of raw rap over Statik Selektah’s digital fusion of...

Seeing that Jay-Z was just announced as a performer on Bonnaroo’s MySpace (remember that site?), I couldn’t help but wonder, who’s selling out more in this arrangement? The hippie jam band fest in cohorts with the Hip-Hop’s icon of individual capitalistic gain? Or the self-proclaimed street hustler taking to the stage about as far from the Marcy Projects as anywhere this...

Much like the CD, the vinyl to Freeway & Jake One’s collaborative album The Stimulus Package features an extravagant packaging that’s surely destined to become a collector’s item down the line. There’s still time to pre-order your copy to have a chance to win one of those $100 prizes as well as get The Beat Made Me Do It and Freelapse for the five-finger discount.
And...

On account of the engulfing amount of actually-naked women available upon a click of my mouse, I can’t say I’m too caught up by the new SI Swimsuit Edition cover.
Still, for the sake of disparagingly having to tag posts NSFW, I figured I’d share this with the hopes that those of us who simply want to stick it to The Man will blatantly flaunt and share this titillating spread of...

She looks like a rock star, croons like a songbird, writes like a poet, and rhymes like a rap vet. Dessa is the total package. She started off in the world of spoken word. As is often the case with spoken word acts, she also had a profound love for poetry and emceeing. She has [...]

On the heels of his SBs and a new HBO show, Kid Cudi drops another low-budget visual, this time for his solo slice from David Guetta’s debut, One Love. The up-tempo nature of this vibrant, club-ready bouncer is definitely not for everyone, but good enough to keep Cudder full steam ahead of the pack on Clear Channel.
When I grow up, I want to be one of these producers like Dave Guetta or...
