#NP All Belongs to You x Tony Hightower

Today I’m going to the Atlanta Jazz Festival at Piedmont Park for some free live instrumentation, sun and relaxation. Out of the many acts scheduled today, I’m looking forward to one the most: Atlanta-bred Tony Hightower. I’ve had his new album The New Standard on repeat since I attended his listening event a few weeks ago. If you have some familiarity with Tony Hightower, you may recall…

New Video: "It's Okay" x Jack Preston (dir. x Will Feagins Jr.)

“if you really need some food, plant them seeds in the earth/plant them ideas and add action to give them birth.”

The hustlegrind is so real. It ain’t easy, but Atlanta MC/producer Jack Preston affirms that “it’s okay.” The newly released visual for his latest self-produced single from his upcoming album End Of The Future is a…

Review: Outer Limits EP x India Shawn

Singer/songwriter India Shawn’s latest project, Outer Limits, is a collaborative piece with renowned producer/songwriter/singer James Fauntleroy. Complete with the experimental sounds famously executed by Fauntleroy and his 1500 or Nothin’ crew, Outer Limits plays like a sonic journey through 80s R&B and beyond. Groovy funk synths, introspective but universal lyrics and danceable melodies…

New Music: Huh, What x blctxt contxt

Every once in a while, I’ve gotta go into hibernation. Just get away from the noise, the saturation, the bad vibes. A cleansing, of sorts. I’m not quite over my respite but I had to resurface to share this with y’all.

Review: Run the Jewels 2 Tour

Run the Jewels is becoming hip hop’s most redemptive act. Unapologetic, brash, witty, and raw, Killer Mike and El-P have created a sound that eclipses mainstream hip hop’s current blueprint of trendy beats and superficial content. The two are ushering in a model of varied experimentation with their lyrics and El-P’s production. RTJ recently dropped their sophomore albumand the response…

New Album: #5 x Jean Grae

I’m convinced there aren’t many things Jean Grae can’t do, artistically. Hell, probably generally too. Usually on her cool rapper shit, Jean has decided to do some cool singer shit on her new EP #5. Still full of witty, relatable lyricism and quirky production (alllll by Jean Greasy), this new EP is sexy enough for cuffing season and chill enough for alone time. Available for streaming but…

Review: Divided Time: The Documentary (directed, written and produced x w. feagins, jr.)

Images of Black single mothers and daddyless Black children are constantly saturating our media outlets. We’ve heard the narrative for so long that we begin to perpetuate this thought and go along with the misrepresentation. Hip hop is very much a deep thread in the Black community, woven in many facets of our daily lives. As a male-dominated industry, we rarely hear the stories of these…

New Album: "Run the Jewels 2" x Killer Mike + El-P (Run the Jewels)

Pic from http://www.runthejewels.net/

When Killer Mike enlisted El-P to take over the production on his 2012 album, R.A.P. Music, hip hop was not fully prepared for what that collaboration would come to beget. Soon, the duo birthed Run the Jewels and really fucked folks’ heads up. Their self-titled debut was an immediate favorite amongst critics and fans of the rappers. So, it’s no surprise…

From Pearl Cleage's "Things I Should Have Told My Daughter" | currently reading

Thinking about death really gives credence to the idea of doing what you want. What, after all, is sixty, seventy, eighty, if you're lucky, even one hundred years? A drop in the bucket. The blink of an eye. So life doesn't matter really because it's all leading to the same place. So be outrageous! Jump out there! What else is there to do?
