Heavy Meta is a guitar-riff filled, garage rock and roll, rootsy, eclectic album by Philadelphia-bred rock musician Ron Gallo. The former lead singer of Toy Soldiers released his new album via Nashville-label, New West records—his music embracing passion and unpretentious, old school homage. Although the rock and roll aesthetic of the 1960s and 1970s is […]

If “AIM” is the […]

Three years. It’s been three, painfully long years since we’ve heard James Blake’s angelic crooning in his last album Overgrown. Many know him as the guy who sings “Retrograde” or “Life Round Here” and recently as a contributor to Beyonce’s latest album Lemonade. Now, the UK singer has finally come back and teamed up with not […]
“Home” is one of the songs that will be on the classics station when our generation is in our sixties. Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros have made an impression in our generation with just that one song. However, the band refused to be a one hit wonder. They have had three full-length albums released after […]
Last Thursday night Young Thug dropped Slime Season 3 giving the hip hop community yet another Thugger album. At 8 tracks, this is the shortest project that Thugger has given his fans, but luckily it is much easier to digest after the first few listens. http://gty.im/478838649

The rap gods have blessed us more than usual in 2015, especially in the cases of Drake and Future who have both dropped albums and mixtapes this year. When the duo announced a joint project, the internet went into a frenzy.
In the age of the Internet, you don’t need a record label or a TV network to reach a loyal fanbase. These days “millennials” have YouTube, Soundcloud, and other various “user uploaded content” sites. With this freedom comes various hits and misses in the quality of the posted content. However, when things get good, they […]
