Equal parts wit and social consciousness make-up the enigmatic presence of one Open Mike Eagle. Member of the Project Blowed collective out of California, Open Mike Eagle could’ve just as easily been a stand-up comedian, as evidenced by tracks such as “Doug Stamper,” which features my favorite comedian, Hannibal Buress, who happens to be one […]

Last Thursday Princess Nokia, up and coming rapper from New York City, visited Warehouse Live as part of the Women’s Unity Houston art showcase. The showcase included booths for local artists, selling jewelry, candles, art prints, and more, as well as various local female artists performing live prior to Princess Nokia’s performance. The show was […]

Atlanta native, 21 Savage has just come out with his long awaited commercial debut, Issa Album and… issa flop. Over the past two years, 21 has made a name for himself by taking a bare bones, more sinister approach to trap music. 21’s bleak descriptions of gang life are brought to life with his signature […]

Kendrick Lamar’s new album DAMN has been one of the most highly anticipated albums of the year, after his last album To Pimp a Butterfly (2015) got so much attention, and he teased fans with releasing his single “Humble” a few weeks ago. In many ways, Kendrick is our definition of what hip-hop is today, he sets […]

  Throughout the past few years, Coog Radio has sent me to several festivals. They have sent me to Fun Fun Fun Fest, Austin City Limits, Day for Night and several more. None of those festivals come close to anything I experienced at Buku. Buku is more than just your typical music festival; it has […]

The amazing wonder that is Mykki Blanco is shrouded into its own world.

http://gty.im/465349272 Days after announcing the cancellation of his Saint Pablo tour, Kanye West has been hospitalized in Los Angeles, CA. The hip hop superstar was taken to the UCLA Medical Center on Monday due to stress related issues. West was placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold or “5150”, by his personal physician, Dr. Michael Farzam. Prior […]

http://gty.im/176730972 Malik “Phife Dawg” Taylor Way was recently unveiled to the public in Queens, NY. The city renamed the intersection of Linden Blvd. and 192nd St. in Queens, NY after the late A Tribe Called Quest rapper. Fans, supporters, family members and several prominent figures in the hip-hop community were in attendance at the grand ceremony. […]

Hello Coogs, I hope you are having an awesome November! I want to introduce you to an underground artist who has been known to few hip-hop fans. Russ Vitale is a rapper, singer, songwriter, and producer. It was not long until he created his label, Diemon, which stands for ‘Do It Everyday, Music Or Nothing’. […]

http://gty.im/542671036 Fans of ATCQ finally have something to look forward to after the unexpected death of tribe member Phife Dawg. The legendary group’s final  album is slated for release tomorrow, Nov. 11. The album titled, We Got It From Here, Thank You 4 Your Service, is the first album released by the group since 1998. The […]

As Austin City limits weekend two approaches, one of the biggest names in modern beatmaking will be making a stop in Texas.

After 4 years, 1 month, and 10 days of waiting, Frank Ocean has finally released his newest album, Blond. A couple listens in, I decided to take a shot at doing a track-by-track review of the long awaited album.

After his last album GO:OD AM, it was pretty impossible to guess where Mac Miller would take his talents next. With albums and mixtapes such as Watching Movies with the Sound Off, Faces, K.I.D.S., and many others, it’s pretty hard to top such an extensive discography. However, four days ago when Mac Miller sent out […]

Unlike the lull of Houston traffic this past Tuesday night, Vince Staples and Rocky Black turned the intimate setting of The Studio at Warehouse Live upside down.

Chicago native, Chance the Rapper (Chancelor Bennett) has been little brother to hip-hop elite, Kanye West for a minute now—even contributing lyrics to the songs, “Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1,” “Ultralight Beam,” “Famous,” “Feedback” and “Waves” off of Ye’s avant-garde release, The Life of Pablo. The two even performed “Ultralight Beam” Saturday Night Live this past February, […]

It is safe to say that the Flatbush Zombies made a comeback this year. In 2013, the trio dominated the scene before drifting into the shadows. Their 2-year hiatus left fans wondering when the group would return. Now that the New York rappers have resurfaced, it only makes sense that fans lined up for their […]

Houston’s rap scene has had a division of North and South sides ever since Swishahouse popped up on the Northside in the late Nineties in response to the rising prominence of DJ Screw and the Screwed up Click both have contributed some of the biggest names that have come out of the H, but the […]

Coast Vega is a threat. When you listen to his music, you will wonder why you’ve never heard of this kid. A true nomad, the rapper has touched each coast. His music style derives from the inspiration of his experiences, The Dungeon Family and country music.

  Last time, The Aspiring Me gave us an exclusive listen his OK, Whatever album before it’s release. Now, the rapper is back at it again with the fire tracks!

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
