When you combine the life of a young Chinese-American man with dope lines and heavy West Coast-friendly instrumentals, you’ll probably get something along the lines of Bay Area artist Chow Mane’s debut, the Mooncakes EP. If not, you probably did something wrong in the mix. Cooking lessons aside, this is a pretty legitimate project as it […]

Virginia native No Face, Rapper released the follow-up to his Wintercoat EP from earlier in the year. Featuring the previously-released “No Grammys” and “Stranger Things,” the six-track Never Fear Rejection features a constant evolution for the artist.

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.
