MP3 Nas is back, and I was honestly dying to hear some new solo stuff from this guy after hearing him guest on the new Beastie Boys album that I reviewed very highly. The dude hasn’t lost it. Flow goes like a busted dam, and I love the drums
I know I joke around in some of these blog posts about “witch house,” and the legitimacy of such labels, but let’s get serious and talk about something that I don’t post a lot of on this blog: R&B. Of course, R&B is short
New video for Metronomy’s “the Bay,” which is off the band’s latest LP, the English Riviera. Watch a review for the album right here.

On Fucked Up’s new album, the band brings concept to the forefront for a group of songs that tell a dramatic tale of love and loss. It’s pretty, well, complicated. As “epic” as this story is, what makes it grandiose also kinda kills it for me, too. These
