In the meantime, fans started demanding a new album. During his time off, BluRum13 experimented with drum and bass and electronica while consuming the […]
“Girls In The City” Y-Rock
Some things still surprise me. The indie hip-hop scene, for example… it’s no surprise that it’s full of mediocrity and even down-right crap. Almost every urban artist that sends me a track sounds just like all the others. The videos tend to be third-rate at best and the “beats” are copies of the same old […]

Interview with Big Lo – Magnum Opiates
If Tarantino, Richie, Woo, and Puzo decided to make a hardcore Hip Hop album “Magnum Opiates” would be their finished product. In the case of Big Lo, “Magnum Opiates” is the culmination of two years of work resulting in a conceptual album in which every track stands alone. I had the opportunity to sit down with Hip […]
Faction’s Hip Hop Is Back

Today I want to introduce you to the exact opposite. […]
Long Hair Don’t Care
I really dig 2Four. It could be the hair but his music is a very interesting blend of hip hop, r&b, and electronica. It’s smooth. It’s chill. And it makes you feel like a boss. For real, click play on the video below and then try and tell me you didn’t feel on “Top of […]
