Lil B Signs Tour Deal with Live Nation, Holds... →

It’s a small deal for only four shows and two festival appearances, but especially intriguing from the Live Nation perspective. See, the SF Weekly spins it like this: And the fact that Live Nation made a deal with Lil B — an independent artist who isn’t signed to any label — is surprising on its own.

French hip hop blog Pure Baking Soda drops a 37-track compilation of production by Bay Area production duo The Mekanix, and San Jose’s Mike Rimzo, creators of Livewire’s futuristic mobb sound (that also doubles as a great J.

Anonymous asked: Just wanted to say I've really been enjoying the site as of late.

A Conversation With: Clams Casino

With the release of his appropriately titled Clams Casino Instrumentals mixtape, New Jersey producer Clams Casino suddenly found his genre-bending atmospheric boom bap (which had, prior to then, served mostly as a sonic playground for the heretical boasts of Lil B) in the (Internet music press) spotlight. On the strength of Clams Casino Instrumentals, the physical therapy student by day is...

Watch

Alley Boy “Low Down” (2011) (prod. by ZMD, dir. by Nokey Films) Alley Boy stays in his lane. I think that’s why I can engage with, and keep returning to, his music, despite the subject matter being pretty narrow. He also is one of the most (seemingly) earnest rappers working the “trap” circuit currently, whether that means showing his internal strife and suicidal...
