New Music: @ImJeRonelle – "Finally The EP"
This young man’s voice is what got me into the project. It’s a mix of those 90s power groups with a bit of John Legend and 2010s sensibilities infused. Overall, it’s a nice mesh of those same sort of energies. JeRonelle even manages to hit the Marvin Gaye route and sing his pain about the […]
Read moreNew (To Me) Music: @LorenzoRaps – "(But) I Been Woke"
A couple months back, college student-turned-rapper/actor The Renaissance and I chopped it up about his new music, endeavors, and the like.

You may’ve heard a version of this on StvnLmnt’s latest EP. But, Maryland-based artist Benny Universe is still just a “Grown Ass Kid” who wants to embrace the simple things about life. Can’t really argue with that logic, especially if you’re having a pretty crappy day.
Read moreRejected: The Story of Ms. Pink Jacket, Part Two
In our initial “Rejected,” I spoke of someone I named Ms. Pink Jacket. But, I realized I left out some important details, such as how we met and what happened after the song. To begin, let’s go back to Baltimore, Maryland in 2004. It was here that I ran for my high school’s class president […]
