Now, usually, with reviews, I’d condense everything down to three hundred words. But, today? We’ve got something a bit different. Today, we’ve been blessed with some Subtrap as DMV native, SpeedontheBeat.com alum, and all-around rocket-jetpack-possessing artist Jay-IDK drops his debut. Subtrap (suburban, but substance-driven trap music) is all about embracing the ignorance while still delivering knowledge, […]
Read more@DejLoaf – "You Don’t Know Me" (Prod. @dds825)
Well, looks like someone awoke “Try Me” Dej again. “You Don’t Know Me,” another collaboration with frequent producer DDS, takes aim at, well, everyone.

My personal favorite is the track “Seamstress,” […]

Trips to California, crafted between 2000 and 2005, takes listeners through a Dre-like journey through The Golden State. Utilizing audio clips from the L.A. Riots, Boyz n the Hood, and more, Judah gives […]
Read moreAmanda’s View: Getting Black on Stage
By Amanda Jay May I preface this article by saying that I love the performing arts to an indecent degree: I have four or five Broadway Pandora stations; I spend my last dime to attend ballets, symphonies, and musicals; I have blown off relatively important meetings or classes to view a free play a time […]
