OutKast was my favorite rap group growing up. The contrast between Big Boi and André 3000 was remarkable, and it still is. Two completely individual people making something neither could have made quite the same way alone. That is what I want to celebrate. Not a reunion rumor. Not a complaint that either artist has […]

That yellow W has done some traveling. Record sleeves, bedroom walls, T-shirts, entire crowds. Very few groups get to turn one letter into a shared language. Wu-Tang Clan’s Final Chamber tour has us thinking about how much music sits behind the symbol. Start with Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), then try to keep the listening […]

Orlando, save a little energy for Sunday. Thundercat is coming to The Plaza Live on October 4, and going to bed early suddenly seems like a terrible idea. The venue lists an 8pm, all-ages show. With Daði Freyr playing the same room on Friday, this is a rather delicious weekend for anyone who likes their […]

Now, the creative force behind the project, Linda Battilani, has dropped ‘Unshattered’, a catchy, hook-filled, but still nice and heavy track.
