Cole’s “Villuminati” instrumental. Stream “Braggin”, below, and be sure to look out for plenty of more Super Fresh Bros music in the near future.
Read moreBill Murray is breaking the internet lately. First, he showed up to a Caddyshack golf event wearing Pabst Blue Ribbon pants and a shirt referencing that the Dalai Lama is a big hitter, as seen in the above photo with First Coast News’ Lindsey Boetsch. Then, on top of that, he delivered this awesome rendition of “House of the Rising
Read morePunk rock’s only super-cover-group, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes are back at it, with a new album, “Are We Not Men? We Are Diva!”, due out May 13th. We can only assume that the album will feature similar shenanigans like this Paula Abdul cover. Really, any song known partially for it’s “Woah!”s makes for a great punk cover, but
Read moreNo, that’s not a typo in the headline. Sean Combs is going back to Puff Daddy, at least for this video, anyway. Puffy released the one minute trailer for his new single, “Big Homie” in which we hear about 30 seconds of the song at most. See how many rappers you can spot in it. No word on if the
Read moreAsher Roth is back with a sophomore studio album, “RetroHash”, due out April 22nd, and the second single that we have from it is “Fast Life”, a very chill song that you can drive around to this summer. Add in the mellow voice of Chicago rising star Vic Mensa, and you’ve got a very cool track. The video, while really
Read moreThis is another South By Southwest discovery that I’m really glad that I stumbled upon. On… one of the days that I was there (after a while, it started to blend), I caught the very end of The Obvious’s set. In fact, I caught them from outside of the bar, through a doorway, because frontwoman Surojanie Sugrim was busy tearing
Read moreOn the first night that I was at South By Southwest, I let my ears guide me down 6th Street, a move that I would recommend for anybody at any music festival, really. Because I did that, I found Taddy Porter playing at the Nook Amphitheater. With one song, I was hooked, and checked out the rest of their set.

Read moreI’m admittedly late on this (I get tired, sometimes, okay?), but word is Childish Gambino and Chance The Rapper crushed their recent Chicago show. One of the highlights that everyone was talking about the day after (except me, ’cause I was tired) is this crazy freestyle session, where the duo plus Childish Gambino’s brother Steve trade verses over the live
Read moreFor those of you that don’t know, part of my earliest exposure to the Milwaukee music scene came in the form of my dad’s limited collection of vinyl, video, and party flyers. I’m not exactly sure how it started, but he and his siblings hung out with Jerome Brisch, AKA Presley Haskel of The Haskels, one of Milwaukee’s premier punk
Read moreMiami emcee Q-Fresh recently dropped his “Black Sheep” mixtape, giving us a glimpse into the 305 that isn’t all about parties and pop beats. The mixtape showcases Q’s feelings throughout his first years of high school, and ultimately his determination to be successful outside of school as a member of collective group 125th. It’s a unique project, and the name
Read moreFrom the moment I started listening to The Shrine’s “Bless Off”, I knew instinctively that I was listening to it on the wrong speakers. I was listening on my laptop, but clearly, this was an album made for PA Speakers, not just anywhere, but at the skatepark. It needs to be sunny, warm, and well, frankly, California-esque to properly hear

The feature from Chicago native Breezy is also a smooth touch. Make sure you keep it locked to them, as they’re well on their way to creating something for themselves this year. Stream “Night

Read moreSo… All good things come to an end. In this case, SXSW 2014 went out with a bang for me. Just when I thought that I had experienced a lot of what Austin had to offer for free venues, I went with Uni-Fi Records, Higher Education Records, Klassik, MC Mikal and Fresh Cut Collective to “An Open Affair”, a backyard
Read moreBefore leaving the Milwaukee house for the day on Friday, a friend informed me that Fridays are usually the best days to be there. He was definitely not wrong; I think it was my favorite day so far. I went with the Uni-Fi Records crew to the Thirsty Nickel, where Dana Coppa and Klassik performed. Dana did a solo set
Read moreThursday at SXSW was, for me, predominately about hip hop. I started off way earlier than Wednesday, with my first stop being Crisp on 6th Street for a showcase. I saw a lot of new faces, including Alaskan rapper Baked Alaska, who rapped about climbing mountains and the trap… Grizzly Bear trap, that is. While I couldn’t necessarily relate, at
Read moreWednesday was a super long day for me. I stayed up 25 hours straight between my morning flights and a late party. More importantly, it was my first day at South By Southwest. This is my first time in Austin, so needless to say this is all a new experience for me. Most of Wednesday was spent at the MilwaukeeHome

Read moreOkay, so I’ll admit it… Sometimes I forget to do things. One of the things I never have time for is washing my car. So I let it slide (a lot.) In fact, Foursquare informed me that I hadn’t taken my 96 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera to the car wash since December 2012 (whoops). However, today it was really nice out,
