A new video and track from Seattle MC Macklemore, featuring production from Ryan Lewis. In short, this video is fantastic. I wish it was around when I was in middle school and actually thought clothes and shoes mattered. Not that my parents had the money to lay down on a

On the Cool Kids’ full-length debut, When Fish Ride Bicycles, the Chicago duo pulls together some impressive beats and features. The great beats are to be expected, but things really deteriorate in the rapping and lyricism departments. I know it’s band to simply get hung up over the lyricism

A new and pretty autobiographical song and video from Portland hip hop act Animal Farm. And no, these guys are not the latest set of socially conscious hip hop preachers. Far from it. The flows and clever rhymes are serious, but it’s great to see these guys don’t
