Steve Lacy- “N Side” (Single) Smooth with “in your face” sensualism are the words that sum up this cut. Singer/guitarist Steve Lacy has been relatively silent since his debut project, Steve Lacy’s Demos, which was released in 2017. A short collection of songs, yes, but takes such as “Dark Red”, “Some” & “Ryd” were home runs. […]
Title: Psychodrama Artist: Dave Record Label: Neighbourhood Release Date: March 7, 2019 Rating: 3/5 It’s crazy to think that Dave is only 20 years old, but it’s true. The UK rapper and occasional grime MC rose up in the scene as a teenager with popular freestyle videos, successful mixtapes and collaborations with huge artists including […]
Artist: Lil Pump Album: Harverd Dropout Release Date: February 22, 2018 Label: Tha Lights Global/Warner Bros. Rating: 1/5 Don’t let the rating fool you. Lil Pump is a beast.

Following the massive success of their second album, the band had a lot […]
Title: Glory Sound Prep Artist: Jon Bellion Label: Capitol Records Release Date: November 9, 2018 Rating: One thing’s for sure, Jon Bellion hasn’t lost his sound. That’d be too hard to do. After disappearing for two years, Bellion’s sophomore album “Glory Sound Prep” (also introduced to the media before its release as GSP) […]
Mabber, Vol. 1 Album: A Walk Through Jackson County Artist: Arlington Name: Maria Serra I am obsessed with Arlington’s essentially brand-new album A Walk Through Jackson County. I had the joy of premiering this indie trio’s single “Hollow Moon” for Alternative Press and became immediately obsessed with their sound. If you love alternative indie […]
