As cliched as it is, good things come to those who wait. Admittedly, I was a bit ready to throw in the towel when it came to Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. I loved the wackiness of it (its New Girl on crack, pardon the 1990s slang, sense of…everything made for some great moments), Rachel Bloom’s comedic timing is […]

Shy Glizzy and Zed Zilla team up on “Walk on Water.” The ILL Wonka-produced track also serves as a kick-off for #WonkasGift to raise awareness for Santa Cause.
