This one immediately got my attention because of the horns, played by Fendi Sean (the production is handled otherwise by Freddie Gibbs contributor Blair Norf). From there, we’re taken on a track that discusses many of the “wrong reasons” people act the way they do. It’s a short, but chilling track mainly because of the […]
Read moreNew Music: @RickyAlchemy x @Adam_Antium – Marvelous EP
New music from artist Ricky Alchemy, the alter-ego of Adam Antium. It’s got a really lo-fi feel to it and has some pretty solid tracks over all.

Pulling from all directions, from old crushes to police brutality, Pizza gives us a front seat view into his thoughts. It’s an interesting, introspective track backed by a simple-but-heavy […]

Today’s interview, it’s one that’s been a goal of mine for years. When I began recording again in 2012, 2013, one of the artists I vibed with was Open Mike Eagle. I loved the aesthetic he went for and championed his work. Around the time of Death of the King, when a couple people, when they heard my stuff, […]
