Hip-Hop

'Synesthesia' is cool, innovative hip-hop with a cogent message.

'No State Solution' is innovative, brisk, declarative, and supercharged.

Enjoy 53 live performances from four Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremonies from 2014 to 2017 (the 29th to 32nd) in this highly recommended (3.5 stars out of 4) Blu-ray version packed with 674 minutes of great material.

Hip-hop legends Blackalicious and punk rock sister duo Dog Party headlined Saturday's lineup at the fourth annual First Festival 2018 on May 5 in Sacramento, CA.

'Tristan' is innovative and extremely sui generis.

If the Grammy Awards refuse to evolve with the times, they might as well join the dinosaurs in extinction.

'Sky Falling' is a good album. For the most part, the melodies are tantalizing.

'Philosophies' is a strong album, full of infectious grooves and captivating vocal harmonies.

'Hidden Dimensions' defines the analogous aesthetic doctrine that says the tighter the discipline of an art form, the more subjective the criteria of taste. In other words, if you’re into experimental, state-of-the-art sonic manipulation, then you will enjoy this album.

'John Wayne' is cool, fun, and stylish. The funky hip-hop melody is innovative enough to attract and maintain attention, while the lyrics imbue the tune with sardonic wit. After listening to 'John Wayne,' the forthcoming album should be worth the wait.
