No Comments » April 28th, 2013 James Shotwell This weekend has been a relatively slow one as far as news is concerned, but at least today we have a new reason to celebrate the success of those who give their all to entertain us.

April 11th, 2013 James Shotwell Maybach Music Group member Wale is no stranger to the freestyle circuit, but the artist he’s chosen to sample for his latest release may be making their debut in urban music thanks to this track.
fun., the same band behind last year’s inescapable hit “We Are Young,” have been sampled by Wale for his “Sight Of The Sun” freestyle. The track opens with vocals from Nate Reuss before moving into the instrumental which Wale absolutely crushes. The lyrical content isn’t far from the rapper’s usual array of autobiographical lines and talk of wealth, but the flow is respectable nonetheless. You …

January 31st, 2013 Dayton O'Connor They’re calling it Comedown Machine.
What exactly is a comedown machine? It doesn’t sound very fun. Don’t you want us to have fun, Julian Casablancas?
Julian Casablancas, apparent hater of fun (but not that fun.), and company in The Strokes just released the title and artwork for their fifth album Comedown Machine. It looks like they’re going for a bit of a retro/vintage-y vibe with this one, if the design is any indication. The rectangular shape of the album cover and the references contained on it like “Splice Free” and “Professional Standard” harken back to the day …
