– Written by John Makela – Last Friday, “It’s Us Vol.1” dropped, a record coming from rap collective CONCRETE BOYS. The group consists of five extreme talents; Lil Yachty, Draft Day, Camo!, DC2Trill, and KARRAHBOOO. The collaboration put together 47 minutes of music that will leave you with a perpetual stank face.  Lil Yachty’s run is not stopping! He along with Karrahbooo, Camo!, DC2Trill, and Draft Day came out with one of the hardest records this year! The combination of all their sounds work excellently, and really make every song fly by.  The record dropped under the label Concr ..read more

– Written by SthprtDad – Born in the mid-80s, I’ve lived through an extraordinary evolution in music consumption, witnessing firsthand the transition from physical media to the digital age, and surprisingly, back to a revival of tangible formats. My earliest memories of music are intricately tied to the physical experiences of vinyl and cassettes. These weren’t mere formats; they represented a deeper, tactile connection with music. The ritual of visiting record stores, the excitement of unwrapping a vinyl album, and the personalized craft of making mixtapes were pivotal parts of my musical jou ..read more

– Written by Jackson Skam – Recently, I saw the movie Bob Marley: One Love (twice in fact) and even though as a film it wasn’t anything Oscar-worthy, I was really captivated by the music behind it.             Before watching this film, my thoughts about and vision of Bob Marley were mostly associated with stoner and hippie culture. After taking the time to watch Bob Marley: One Love, I really came to understand that Bob Marley is not only one of the best musicians of all time but also an activist who proved to enact actual change thr ..read more

– Written by Peyton Andino – In a video only titled “Blade,” you’re met with a figure standing against the desaturated and dreamy drop of east-end Toronto. Donned in a black sugegasa and akatsuki from cultural phenomena Naruto, your first introduction to the man only known as kgkillnightmares is a young rapper with a vision. An up-and-coming artist with undeniable talent and a passion for his craft, he’s spent years carving out an identity for himself all while staying faceless and juggling school. I let him into a Zoom call and was met with contrast anyone who hears his music wouldn’t expect ..read more

– Written by Hayden DeGroot – “They Are Gutting a Body of Water,” is one of the best modern shoegaze bands emerging from Pennsylvania. Ever since I stumbled upon their second album, ‘Destiny XL,’ I’ve been eager to delve into more of their discography. They embody many of the quintessential elements of a great shoegaze band: subdued vocals intertwined with warbly, fuzzy guitars, and thunderous drums. However, what truly sets them apart, in my opinion, is their innovative sound design. It’s both creative and intriguing, and they fearlessly embrace experimentation. The band has been extensively ..read more

– Written by John Makela – Big Thief’s Adrianne Lenker came out with her sixth solo album this past week, and this shit will leave you sad about a breakup you never even had.  Bright Future puts Lenker’s heart on a platter, delivered beautifully by her acoustic co-production with Philip Weinrobe. Lenker’s lyrics center around the “getting over it” part of heartbreak. The album dropped after a series of accompanying videos all shot and directed by Lenker’s brother and sister Noah and Zoë Lenker. These videos are really weird. They’re a far stray from the heartbreak contents of th ..read more

Scott Mescudi, aka Kid Cudi has been a household name since the release of his masterful endeavour, 2009’s Man On The Moon. Songs like “Day ‘N’ Nite” and “Pursuit of Happiness” carry enough weight to sail Cudder safely into the land of legend, yet he continues to remain active and consistently release new projects yearly or bi-yearly. In 2018 it was KIDS SEE GHOSTS, the short but sweet experimental project from Cudi and longtime collaborator Kanye West. 2022 brought us the soundtrack accompanying his animated film Entergalactic; a Netflix rom-com with spider-verse style animation that pleased ..read more
