Mistah Wilson : Hey Samantha Goldberg! Thank you so much for coming thru for this exclusive interview with thawilsonblock magazine! For our audience reading this, could you give us a quick background on yourself in your own words?  Samantha Goldberg : I'm a Chicago native of 35 years transplanted over 15 ago to the East Coast aka New York City. I moved out here originally for my husband who was given a career opportunity we couldn’t pass up. It was very hard to believe I was seven months pregnant newly married and knew no one out on the East Coast. Some might describe it as I just picked up and left everyone and everything which was a really hard thing to do. There are some days where it is still difficult as Chicago will always be my home and my heart. I thought for sure my new career would be a mother... As my mother worked when we were younger she had her own company. I felt that I wanted to spend more time with my daughter and not work. After spending a...

Gar Clemens' delightful Americana-influenced-folk debut full-length may be simple, sleepy and comforting, but it is also thematically captivating, and all too capable of stirring up the kind of nagging life sentiments usually reserved for when your head hits the pillow.  (Jamie Downes // 07/01/14//United Kingdom)

Read More by Jhantu Randall I’ve covered Zooited Gang in articles quite a bit throughout the previous year, whether directly or indirectly. From highlighting them as a group to describing that high energy vibe they bring to every performance while also trying to show who they were as individual artists by pushing attention towards their videos. As a group, Zooited Gang has recently put out their project “Welcome To The Zoo” and now, fresh off of that, Taye Zooited is releasing his solo project “A Gangsta’s Way.” The sound of this project really sticks to the formula of what makes a quintessential West Coast album stand out. Including both heavy baselines and melodic hooks, each track creates an atmosphere which holds your attention as Taye and each one of his featured artists guide you through this sonic world. The opening track “I’mma Take It” sets up the vibe of whats to come as the title track, “Gangsta’s Way” is where I feel the true introduction stays. The next track, “On Me” whic...

Read More by Jhantu Randall I personally think that the Soundcloud era of hip hop is both a good and a bad thing. On the plus side it allows creative people who never would've had a shot an opportunity to get themselves out to the public. For those who are truly serious about it, it gives the ability to turn a passionate hobby into a profitable career. On the flip side, it’s this same platform that almost enforces a sense of monotony. Lowering the barrier of entry and allowing sub-par rappers to flood the space, making it harder to discover actual MC’s. Those who still give thought to their content while challenging themselves to improve lyrically as they use words to paint pictures and transcribe their stories. I was asked to review an album, sWordsCool by a collaborative who perform under the same name. Appropriately referred to as a “Triple crown triumvirate,” sWordsCool is made up of Suntonio Bandanaz, Julie-C, and Ready Ron Beats. From the opening track, I heard an introductio...
