This is what I enjoy, what I do with the homies (not for this damn long, though), and what the Internet and YouTube were made for. Gadget, Maverick, and Howard B. Knoxz get together and have a two and a half hour discussion on music. Instead of cooking my lunch for work tomorrow, I sat ...
Disclaimer First: I’ve been looking to do this interview for a few years now, but for some odd reason technology hasn’t been on my side with this interview; we’ve done it two times (once where no video was captured, and now with a choppy video capture which is barely worth watching).

On a music level, I consider myself a Juggalo. Twiztid, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, ABK, Boondock, R.O.C…. I’m a fan of these dudes. But being a Juggalo goes further than just music, there is a whole culture behind it, and a lot of people treat it as something bad and turn it away. I haven’t ...

This caught me off guard because I’m a Twiztid fan and didn’t remember them ever using the word in their music, ...
This is issue four of my “Strange Music Album Review for 2013″ series, and this time I didn’t have to fight the homie over the CD (still don’t know why they only ordered one copy of the Ces Cru album). This one had been pushed back because of a false/misunderstood release date. Here we go… ...
In 2011 Backpack Theory Records started a beat tape series which popped off with “The Ghostface Beat Tape” featuring producers from the DMV submitting beats that they felt would be something that they’d hear Ghostface Killah on. Since then they’ve put together three more beat tapes; “Return of the Tec: The Beatnuts Beat Tape”, “The ...
I’d been hearing this name around the Internet lately but never checked her out until today after watching an interview she did with Out Da Box TV on YouTube (check the video here). As a part of that interview they spoke about a song of her’s titled “Cleaning Out My Closet”, which they played a ...
