After four long years since her last album, Lorde’s highly-anticipated Solar Power was released. The album follows Melodrama, an album that many including myself would consider a masterpiece. The album, unfortunately, does not quite live up to the anticipation. Solar Power is a very different album than its predecessor. Melodrama was, in some ways, a […]
Men I Trust is a Montreal based trio which has created a distinctive style that is more recognizable than any specific songs that they have released. The group’s early dance roots evolved into a psychedelic venture with electronic R&B instrumentation. This in itself created such a large audience and spread like wildfire via the Internet. However, […]
Thee JPEGMAFIA is performing in Houston for the first time and you better be there, or else. JPEGMAFIA has never been anything less than volatile, vulgar, versatile, and so on.

The University of Houston held it’s annual Glow Party event in Lynn Eusan park on Thursday, August 26, and it was worth the hype. The student organization leaders started getting to work around 6:45, setting up mountains of glow stick necklaces, glasses, and bunny ears on tables around the park. Pizza, soda, and waters got […]
I’ve always loved the rap and hip-hop style of the 90’s and 2000’s. Sadly, I’m too young to have gotten to party to these classic song , but I have more than a few home videos of me and my sister as kids dancing to some of the songs featured on this list. I decided […]
A few weeks ago, while I was researching for my channel ORANGE article, I started thinking about the song “Forrest Gump.” I knew of at least two other songs which sang about Forrest at some point: “Doves in the Wind” by SZA and “All Day” by Kanye West. This got me thinking–how much crossover is there between […]
Are you ready to relive summer, love, and heartbreak with Frank Ocean’s channel ORANGE? Frank Ocean’s 2012 album, channel ORANGE, captures the sickly sweet, tape-recorder nostalgia of summer so exquisitely that I’ve always wanted to do a track-by-track analysis. This album played a huge part in my summer, too. I had good days–beach days, nights […]

Let’s dive into “your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper“, MF DOOM‘s album, track by track. Daniel Dumile, aka MF DOOM, remains one of the greatest figures of 90’s-2000’s hip hop.

Since 1909, U.S. copyright laws have granted musicians the right to record their own version of a previously recorded and released song. I think this is truly innovative for artists to add their own creative and original spins. Here are some of my favorites! This booming genre has been around for over 70 decades! […]
