Backwoodz Studioz’s Billy Woods is one of my favorite rappers in the game right now. And he sounds especially dope spitting Biblical references and flexing a “slow it up speed it up flow” over a soulful but spooky beat from producer L’Orange on “The End”. The video, from Jay Brown[…]

‘Watch_Dogs’: Welcome to Chicago Trailer (Video)
Holy. Fucking. Shit. I had Ubisoft’s ‘Watch_Dogs’ pre-ordered when it was supposed to be out last Fall. And I’ve been anticipating the game in general for some time before that. But this new trailer, which focuses on the game’s digital recreation of the city of Chicago, just upped the ante[…]
King Khan & The Shrines – Born to Die (Video)
“Born to Die”, the new Hylas Films-directed video from King Khan & The Shrines features some pretty heavy magickal death and rebirth imagery. I dig it. That the visuals were made to accompany a song that’s such a high energy Psychadelic Garage Rock workout just makes it all the more[…]
PlayStation Plus – Fully Endorsed
Yesterday, for no particular reason, I decided I should invest in a membership in Sony’s PlayStation Plus service. If you’re not aware, it’s a subscription-based service that gives members access to free game downloads, game previews, discounts on items in the PlayStation store, online saves, and other junk. So far[…]
Apathy – The Grand Leveler (Video)
I used to listen to Apathy rhyme on Connecticut college radio about 20 years ago. His output as a recording artist since then has been a bit hit and miss with me. I ain’t mad at his newest single, “The Grand Leveler”, or the video, where he represents for the[…]
Blueprint – Respect the Architect (Video)
Veteran Ohio emcee/beatmaker Blueprint plays a serial killer who hunts record collectors for their breakbeats in the new video for the title track to his new LP “Respect the Architect”. ‘Respect the Architect’, which features gust spots from Illogic and Count Bass D, is due out, in a myriad of[…]
‘BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea’ Episode Two Launch Trailer (Video)
Today marks the release of ‘Burial at Sea: Episode Two’, the last piece of ‘BioShock Infinite’ DLC, and the final hurrah for the Irrational Games studio, which was shuttered by it’s founder Ken Levin earlier this year. ‘BioShock Infinite’ remains my favorite gaming title of 2013, and the ‘Burial at[…]
RATKING feat. King Krule – So Sick Stories (Video)
The kids in RATKING are just a few of the young artists held up as poster children for a supposed resurgence of underground New York Rap over the last few years. They’re finally poised to release their debut album, and if their newest single “So Sick Stories” is any indication,[…]
Bunny Michael – Holy Holy (Video)
New York Art-Rapstress and self-proclaimed “Nature Slut” Bunny Michael, formerly Bunny Rabbit, has returned! The latest from the “Telepathic Goddess from the Future” is the sexy and slightly supernatural video for the Punk-Rap rave up “Holy Holy”. She drops her new solo EP, titled ‘Rainbow Licker’, on March 25th via[…]
A$AP Ferg – Let it Go (Video)
To be perfectly honest my reaction to A$AP Ferg’s debut LP ‘Trap Lord’ has been pretty lukewarm. So much so that I almost didn’t watch the video for his newest single “Let it Go”. Thankfully I didn’t make that mistake, as I would’ve missed out on ninjas, superpowers, an albino,[…]
Chela – ZERO (Video)
Australian Synth-Pop princess Chela delivers smoothed out retro dancefloor grooves, badass choreography, and nightclub hallucinations on her new single and video “ZERO”. If you need a soundtrack for your next hair-brushes and laser lights dance party grab her “ZERO” EP which is out now on the French fashion/record label Kitsuné[…]
