In the pantheon of hip hop, few figures are as enigmatic and influential as MF DOOM . Born Daniel Dumile, the man behind the mask has left an indelible mark on the genre, not just through his intricate wordplay and production skills, but also through his iconic mask. The evolution of MF DOOM’s mask is a fascinating journey that mirrors his transformation as an artist. The Beginnings: KMD and Tragedy Before he was MF DOOM, Daniel Dumile was known as Zev Love X, a member of the group KMD. KMD’s early days were promising, with their debut album, Mr. Hood (1991), receiving critical acclaim. However, tragedy struck when Dumile’s brother and KMD member, DJ Subroc, was killed in a car accident in 1993. This, coupled with Elektra Records shelving their second album, Black Bastards , sent Dumile into a tailspin. He disappeared from the public eye, reemerging in the late ’90s with a new persona. The Birth of MF DOOM Dumile’s return to the music scene saw him donning a mask, initially...

This is the sophomore effort from Sacramento, California emcee/producer Mi$tuh G . Emerging within the underground at the beginning of this current ongoing decade off the strength of his full-length debut  G Files , I myself subsequently found myself being introduced to his music in the summer of 2020 back when the whole world shut down as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic through his debut EP  G.W.O. (G-World Order)  conceptually revolving around all the events that had transpired at that point. He & Mak7teen brought  Your Worst Nightmare  to life a year later & is returning over 4 years later to  Keep It G . After the “Brandon Voicemail” intro, the first song “Flow” is this off-the-trap opener having y’all begging for another dose whereas “G’s Back” featuring Mak7teen works in more hi-hats continuing to take an eerier route atmospherically talking about coming back after 3 years. “Slide Out” brings a symphonic trap flare to the instrumental enc...

New York City emcee, songwriter, chef, wrestler & television host  Action Bronson enlisting Daringer & The Alchemist  to produce his 8th full-length studio LP. Blowing up with release of his debut album  Dr. Lecter  in 2011, he then landed a joint venture with VICE Music & Atlantic Records while following up his debut with a couple EPs & mixtapes. The most notable being the  Blue Chips  duology,  Saab Stories  & my personal favorite:  Rare Chandeliers . He then put out his major label debut  Mr. Wonderful  in 2015 & it has some of his best songs on there, but the end result would be a more glitzy mixed bag. He fulfilled his contracts by dropping  Blue Chips 7000  & celebrated his freedom the next year in the form of  White Bronco  which were both solid, but didn’t reach the caliber of  Lamb Over Rice  the Thanksgiving after.  Only for Dolphins ...

We recently talked to Brandon Bally on life as a Hip-Hop artist in Pittsburgh and his latest release, Pew Pew. Hey Brandon, thanks for talking to us today. Your latest track “Pew Pew” is described as the ultimate hip-hop club anthem. What was the inspiration behind this song? I wanted to create an experience. Dancing is good for the soul. At times, we go in spaces where no one is dancing. Everyone is separated, guarded, and distant in a setting where they should be moving. How does Pittsburgh’s music scene influence your style and creativity? I am spearheading a new wave of my city’s music scene. What I want to do is outline something unique and innovative because that is what I believe is the essence of my city and the people who inhibit it. I aspire to stay true to my roots. We aren’t like everyone else and I want to represent that. Who were your musical influences growing up, and how have they shaped your sound today?  My influences span across many genres such as the ...
