In December 2013, I got a message from Mississippi artist Vic Rippa announcing his Dope Reagan project. The mixtape/EP, after several delays and alterations, finally saw the light of day this week.

Read moreCrazy Ex-Girlfriend Review: Josh Came to the Party
This week’s Crazy Ex-Girlfriend was…wild and somewhat confusing. It felt like Glee meets R. Kelly meets that one hipster-y comedy musical that escapes my mind meets Afterschool Special on coke.
