“No details about Sade’s new music have yet been revealed, but one artist may already have heard snippets: Maxwell, a fellow Sony recording artist and longtime friend and collaborator with Matthewman, who will soon release a new record of his own after a multiyear hiatus.

This video and single reminds me of 36 Chamber era Wu Tang. It’s some rap shit.
Desire is a band on Italians Do It Better, so you probably know what they’re going to sound like. Just came across their new record and it’s got some nice vibes. Here’s my standout track for the album.
Angel’s Dust is a blog full of photos you were probably never supposed to see. Usually involving teen aged gang members, guns, and 3d renderings of teen aged gang members with guns.
Dan Oh does not know how to use the Internet, but he does know how to make music. This is an original track produced by the godfather of Seoul himself, using a familiar ( to some ) sample from the 69 boyz of course. Intentionally awful 90’s artwork by yours truly. - Jason
