Happy 4/20 to everyone out there who can relate.

We’ve legit been waiting to do this drop for over a year. We missed the 4/20 anniversary of Erykah Badu’s Fader cover release in 2017, so it was kind of pointless to post the track and celebrate, but this year, we’re on it.

“I Been Goin Thru It All” is a EDL favorite, mostly based on the fact that we don’t ever get to hear Badu talk her sh*t. Wint…

 Ciscero made a Tweet the other day that I think should strike a nerve in the community of black men..

“Just made a song about black men, our mental traumas and how culturally it’s considered not cool to get help over a Sango beat. Living my best life?”

THIS is what we need to hear–more black men being honest about what’s going on inside of them. I think we’ve had the longest run in the history…

So I caught these guys live in concert, and I’ll be the first to reiterate that good old saying my Granny used to pound into my head: never judge a book by it’s cover.

I’m From VIRGINIA, where ain’t sh*t to do, but cook..

Remember the days when you had to beg your parents, or drop a hint to them on buying you that new album from your favorite artist..maybe even asking them to let you go to the store to buy it yourself?

Although you can still buy physical copies of albums, doesn’t that seem like an old-school thing to do? That’s because we are finally in the dominant era of music streaming. This new way of…

 
“I get to interview people who I never thought I’d ever be in front of..”
