Hello world, Thanks for taking time to visit my site. I created this site as a way to not only show ...
Last week was pretty awesome with some of the coverage I did for On Wax Magazine at this year’...

Open Mike Eagle has been a fixture of underground Los Angeles for quite some time. A member of locally iconic and long-running collective Project Blowed, the Chicago native is the area’s champion of cerebral “art rap” that’s equally engrossing and flat out hilarious. That knack...
The much anticipated Spinal update for Killer Instinct( my favorite fighter of last year) launched Friday and Double Helix did one fine job. Outside of having an awesome art design, Spinal's extremely technical mechanics only enhances Killer Instinct's growing status amongst competitive level fighters. However, whoever is...
Brick Squad (and its Brick Squad Monopoly subsidiary) have surely seen better days. It’s been tough for the Atlanta-based home to popular artists Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka. The once seemingly invincible empire began to crack last year following internal feuds and cringe-worthy tweets from...
There’s an air of loneliness in Sebastián Lelio’s warmly directed Chilean drama Gloria. Nonetheless, more than enough lighthearted moments perfectly compliment a pretty somber tone.

More of a streamlined project than his previous works, the album features lead singles “Different” and “Ain’t Perfect” featuring Wale.
Black Coffee may fill the needs of those craving a fairly innocent romantic comedy with a majority African American cast. The rest are better off avoiding it at all cost. Even the film’s marketed audience may be turned off by its wooden acting, atrocious editing, uninspired...
Though hip-hop has gained an international following since its inception decades ago, MCs attempting crossover from outside the music genre’s birthplace have been relatively rare. One continent that’s had the best track record over time is obviously Europe. From the Golden Era rhyming of Slick...
