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 […]
SuperDuperKyle is making moves once again in Austin for this year’s ACL fest. Formally known as K.i.D (Kyle Is Determined), the singer/rapper from Ventura, California isn’t afraid to let loose and have fun with his music. Often using sound effects from video games or 90’s inspired beats, the pop-rapper’s music -although cheesy at times – […]

Last week saw 16th anniversary of the 9/11 Terrorist Attack (& the release of Jay Z’s The Blueprint). Although, it is also the 10th Anniversary of Kanye West’s third major label studio album, Graduation. While many would dub My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy as his greatest album (hands down), Graduation captures an atmosphere within it’s near-hour long […]
Realizing Solange’s A Seat at the Table will be turning one later this month is truly wild. Not only was the project one of the best albums of 2016 (some might even argue it was the best) but the year following its release was quite a year for Solange. Her record was #1 on both Apple […]

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 […]
Back from her 3-year hiatus, SZA returns with her debut album Ctrl, an album filled with raw, honest-to-God story telling that speaks about tainted romance and modern day relationships with deeply personal lyrics.

Inspired by the timeless story of Romeo and Juliet, Hopeless Fountain Kingdom is Halsey’s latest concept album which tells the story of a made up universe based around two star crossed lovers who go through hell for love. Halsey’s previous debut album Badlands was a reckless and dangerous place which mirrored her mind and where she […]
As many Houstonians and local festival fans know, Free Press Summer Festival doesn’t have the best reputation, but being loyal fans and lovers of music, we always stay hopeful. Despite complaints about the lineup when it was released, it had some fresh and promising acts. From DJs like Cashmere Cat and Jauz, to headliners like […]
On Sunday April 23, 2016, Beyonce released Lemonade, a ground breaking album that took the whole world off guard. Not only did it break barriers set for women, especially in the music/entertainment industry, it also shed light on the emotional chains of abuse, neglect, and pain that colored women had been silently bearing for generations. The hour-long […]
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 […]
Joey Bada$$, being from Brooklyn, New York City, has always embodied what New York rap is, but his new album All-Amerikkkan Bada$$ really goes back to his roots of politically charged hip-hop. He’s a founding member of the hip-hop collective Pro Era, based in Brooklyn. With his last full album being released in 2015, his […]
