Album Review: “Clarity” by Zedd
by Nick Brakatselos •
Stop what your doing. Go buy this album now. This album by Zedd is absolutely incredible. From the songs to the price, everything is amazing. Zedd’s first song “Hourglass” Ft. Liz starts with a ticking clock and melodic synth play which tingles the senses. Liz’s sweet and tender voice lulls you into this track until…

by Raffi Khatchadourian •
One of my favorite DJs/producers at the moment, Xaphoon Jones released his new mixtape, Xaphoon Jones Volume 3 as promised.

Colin Munroe ft. Kendrick Lamar & Ab-Soul – “Scars N Stars”
by Raffi Khatchadourian •
Canadian singer and songwriter, Colin Munroe dropped a new project today and one of the standout tracks features TDE heavyweights, Kendrick Lamar and Ab-Soul. I didn’t know much about Colin before this new tape, but he is most definitely worth checking out. His style is different yet dope and it doesn’t hurt that he has…
Mixtape: Lil Wayne “Dedication 4”
by Raffi Khatchadourian •
#MixtapeMondays Two massive new mixtapes released today (peep Talib’s new one here), I can’t complain. Skateboard Weezy dropped his highly anticipated new mixtape, Dedication 4. I’ve heard mixed reviews on this one, but then again every track/project Wayne has dropped recently has gotten mixed reviews. After skimming through the mixtape, I can’t say that it is all recycle…
