As someone who would probably be categorized as a bit of a music snob(I try not to lean into the ways of the snobbery of music critics online, but I can see how I would be associated with them), I am someone who always has to look into that new, unique artist people are raving ..read more

There are some musicians who are considered “artist’s artists.” They serve as an inspiration for their peers, breaking down boundaries and paving the way for their peers. The artists may not quite have the amount of commercial success they deserve, but they are certainly reserved by the artists around them who do end up seeing ..read more

One thing I did frequently when I started this blog was make little lists containing some of my favorite tracks that have come out recently. A lot of people in my life ask me quite a bit for new music to listen to(since they know I am so obsessed with finding new music), so I ..read more

If you are in tune with what is big in K-Pop music even a little bit, you definitely know all about Lisa. She is a K-Pop icon who has made as big an impact as anyone. If you are a K-Pop fan, you probably do not need much of a description about who she is ..read more

If you know me or have followed this blog for a while, you probably know about how much I dig Charli xcx. I have always thought she has been as much of a trailblazer for Pop music as anyone has in any genre over the last 15 years. There is no one like her. She has been setting trends and breaking boundaries her whole career. It has always felt like she is so ahead of the game. Charli has been making exquisite Pop music since the early 2010s, but she has been especially killing it over the last 8 years or so. Her 2016 EP Vroom Vroom and her 2017 EPs Number 1 Angel and Pop 2 are considered to b ..read more

If you are in tune with the Latin music world at all, you have heard of Young Miko at this point. She has been sweeping the nation for the last year or so, slowly becoming a household name. One of the biggest reasons so many people have gravitated toward her music is due to her association with Bad Bunny, as he has had her featured on a couple of big songs over the last couple of years. Anyone who gets the stamp of approval from Bad Bunny is going to have their career get catapulted. Although Young Miko has just started to pop off recently, she has been honing her craft for quite a while. She ..read more

As you have probably noticed if you have been following this blog for the last year or so, I am a big fan of 2hi’s music. I mean, I literally wrote about some of his new music last week(please go check out that write-up if you have not yet). I feel like out of all the great artists in Milwaukee making music right now, he stands out so much. 2hi has a style and energy with his music that is just so unique and captivating; there is just no one in the city like him, and he is as eclectic and unique as any Hip Hop artist coming up right now. Throughout the 2020s, 2hi has been very prolific with h ..read more

One of my favorite ways I have found cool Milwaukee Hip Hop artists recently is through their collaborations. Something awesome about the Hip Hop scene here is how tight-knit it is becoming. Every artist is trying to help their peers out, which exposes us fans of the Milwaukee Hip Hop scene to so many cool artists all of the time. A rising Milwaukee artist who is very unique I recently found from covering a project he was featured on is Tombo. I was first exposed to Tombo from their feature on the song ‘Lakewater’ off of Daark’s excellent Nocturnal Circle Vol. 1 EP(which I reviewed earlier th ..read more

There are a few K-Pop who have become so popular that they are almost synonymous with the Western World’s view of the genre. Groups like BlackPink and BTS have broken through in the Western music listening world in a way that no other K-Pop group has been able to; they are not only massive in Asia, but they are also chart-topping artists in the US. TWICE may not be quite as big as the groups mentioned above in non-Asian countries, but they are arguably the third most popular K-Pop group in the West. Through their success on TikTok and Instagram, TWICE has become a global phenomenon, captivati ..read more

One of my least favorite opinions about Hip Hop music today is that it has become safe or stale. Of course, mainstream artists always take a more tame approach, so it is not tough to see why casual Hip Hop listeners may say this. But if you expand your horizons and look beyond the surface, you will see that the genre is expanding its sound more than ever. There are a ton of great artists who release various types of Hip Hop that go way against the norm right now and who are pushing the genre in directions it has never gone. One Hip Hop artist who is carving his own lane and deserves way more ..read more
