Flower Blade Productions/Records Offering 6 Hour Sessions For Just $150.00 For The Next 10 Days

My friend Emmanuel Sanchez has lost his damn mind! This is not a rumor though, because right now he wants to offer you great service for a very limited time at a low price. This is something I recommend a lot of bands out there to jump on at this point. I’ve worked with Manny when I was a member of Vladez and his production skills are out of hand. You can consider him a perfectionist but he does it for your own good. In case you’re wondering who Emmanuel Sanchez is, he’s the CEO... Read More →

Album Review: Black Milk “Album of the Year”

Last year I was in the middle of a hip hop conversation and my friend tells me about an artist from Detroit whose beats sounded like that of the late and great J. Dilla. He then went to his car and handed me a CD that read “Black Milk –  Sound of the City”. I’ll tell you like this, that album didn’t leave my car CD player for two months. I’ve been a Black Milk supporter ever since, for the mere reason that he ryhmes as well as produces his... Read More →

Pun not intended, btw. MC Orion drops another official video this time for a track called Massacre pt.5 off of his soon to be released 2nd album, Hunting Season.

Primus Working on New Album For 2011

I’m a huge Primus fan, being a basssist especially you tend to grow a big desire for groove-based funk rock like Primus. It’s been many years though since Primus has actually released an album and Les Claypool‘s been melding endlessly with other projects of his own including the novel he wrote. So I’m super excited to announce the fact that they’re finally going to be releasing this new album now. Antipop was Primus’s latest album which had a bunch of several guest... Read More →

SPEAK! Where Words Find a Home

Every Friday, talent floods a little known quarter of Miami. This small area dubbed The Bird Road Art District hosts art of many shapes and forms which come to life in galleries, furniture stores and even a lounge. If you’ve never heard of Innerlook then you’ve missed out on their open mic nights. Their gatherings are all about expression where egos get checked at the door. A policy closely instilled by owner Robert Lee. Each week brings featured artists and... Read More →

Album Review: Rah Digga “Classic”

Rah Digga, the first lady of the underground hip-hop group “The Flipmode Squad” is here to remind the music world that females are a force to be reckoned with when it comes to laying down lyrics. There is an onslaught of female emcee’s that don’t receive the proper recognition they deserve because the music industry seems to be afraid of talented, educated and opinionated women. Rah Digga is one of those artists you hear and forever remember her... Read More →

Show Review: The Drums w/Surfer Blood & Young Friends @ Grand Central 9/18/10

For months I’ve been finding a reason to make it out to Grand Central. My interest in checking out the venue has been there since I heard about it, but if el viejo in me can hardly muster up the energy to shave my face, you can imagine what the decision-making elves must go through to get my ass in a club. Regardless, I had heard of the slew of national acts that  are lined up to pop through the joint so I told my elves to fuck off and get my dancing shoes…some serious shows were... Read More →

The Nude Cap: Naked Never Sounded So Good

I decided to strip down and uncover one of the 305′s hidden musical talents and there is no better place than the ‘Steez to reveal The Nude Cap and its five gifted members. I got to see the raw talent behind their sound…and I have to admit that I sure as hell liked what I saw. Instead of harassing them with question after question, I decided to invade one of their rehearsals. As I waited for them to set up, I kept myself distracted with cold beer and a perusal of their space decorated... Read More →

REBEL Interview: Inside The INTRCPTR EP And CD Release Party This Friday At Vagabond!

So this afternoon Lou and I went to “Case De REBEL” as we like to call it. I would like to give away the area of the house location but we don’t want all the ladies running over there causing a ruckus. When Lou and I arrived we truly considered asking Migue if we could move in. The house is right behind a nice area in a nice community. Although, our aim was to get more of an insider on the upcoming INTRCPTR EP, we considered just interviewing him about the house he lives in more... Read More →
