"Whoa Is Me" by Grieves is a dope track! I heard it over at a friend's house and it immediately caught my ear! Although this song was released only 2 years ago, it reminded me that there are countless dope tracks out there already released. Tha pool of independent music has risen significantly, and it has made it a bit more challenging to find what you're looking for. "Whoa Is Me" off of Grieves album Winter & The Wolves compliments the image of Seattle's lovely music scene. You know that feeling you get when you hear artists like Macklemore , Scribes , Grynch , Gabriel Teodros , and others. These artists all have a way of connecting with people through their music. Grieves is no exception. Since hearing this track, it has pulled me away from listening to my own mixtape as well as the beats I've been writing songs to lately. True Hip Hop fans can definitely relate to this track. From the melodic piano to tha humorous lyrics, Grieves delive...

Click to Download DJ Highlight , a DENA artist who hosts mixtapes, has recently released the 'Hometown Heros' mixtape with a variety of DENA artists. To much of our surprise, we saw no track by Bing Bing featured on the project, a clear Pasadena hometown hero who arguably puts in tha most work for the Pasadena Hip Hop Scene . "I guess walking 27 miles to unite tha local music scene doesn't mean much," says Bing Bing .  Nonetheless, the project comes equipped with heavy hitters like Major James , Ethan Avery , Blackwest , Paco Swartz , Zook , Hard Reign , & more. The project boasts a well-balanced variety of Pasadena/Altadena artists. Released on August 6th, 2016, DJ Highlight shows tha scene that we are united...and have been for some time now.   Take a listen to Hometown Heros mixtape and share your opinion!

McSteezy, a local rapper from Pasadena and Glendale, respectively, chops it up with ThaWilsonBlock about New Music, Shows, and how to Push Yourself Harder! McSteezy has been on his grind for years, and we're not talking skateboards. Then again, in this exclusive interview with ThaWilsonBlock, Steez & Mistah Wilson do speak on skateboarding and the inspiration to get back up again after nasty falls.  McSteezy's latest music slaps! And when you check back on his earlier work, you'll see that he's always had it. When you see McSteez in real life, you might not think much of him as a rapper. But, when you tune into his music, you'd probably consider this guy one of tha greatest out right now. He's undeniable.

We recently caught up with Altadena musician and bandleader Larry McZeal for a shout out to Pasadena's Hip Hop Scene.

If you're from Pasadena, California or any surrounding area, then you have at least a general idea of how strong the pride & culture is around DENA. One of the things we find amazing about Pasadena is that it has it's own hip hop scene that goes back significantly longer than many of us have been alive. In a recent conversation about Pasadena artist & designer E DuB 's latest apparel line "We Are Born & Raised" & "Just A Kid From...", his old sampler cover for Eyez on tha Prize resurfaces from 1996 . A local hip hop connoisseur's dream. Throwback. The sampler comes with an instrumental from local hip hop artist & producer Lasky B, who's still relevant on today's scene.  For those who are a fan of local, old school hip hop, this is a good to have in tha collection to preserve local music scene heritage. After 20 years, tha value of these projects must not been overlooked. For more information on this compilation, visit We...
