You love to hear the story, how it all got started…” Something about this verse hit me hard today. I grew up in Harlem during the 90′s, during Giuliani which means it wasn’t the prettiest of times but it wasn’t the 80s. NYC was tough if you were a sucker, but for most people in [...]
Fresh to death is the only way I can describe this new MIA mix. Diplo and world influences all over the place, extremely raw, aggressive, edgy, full of energy and genre defying. Not since Kala have we heard such #spaceagerebel banger music, this mix is everything I could ask for right now. Make sure to listen for [...]
Situationally speaking, we’ve all been there. Finding ourselves in uncomfortable positions followed by a reassurance that —in the end— we’ll be OK.

The movie Drive made Desire’s Under Your Spell an instant classic and on February of last year Kid Cudi revealed his project WZRD (an alias he uses for the rock project where he partners up with Dot Da Genius). Drive’s soundtrack has the ability to transport (or teleport me, for that matter) to another time [...]
“What did you give me, to make my heart beat out my chest.” Finding oneself in certain situations and not caring what our actions might do to jeopardize that moment… To feel that connection with someone and latching to her/him seems like the most natural thing to do. It’s instinct-driven I believe. Now Sam Smith’s [...]
