Read moreWow. The last two weeks have been the busiest two weeks of my life. I haven’t put up a new post in a while. My bad. Anyway, Proph released his latest project “Wool Over My Eyes” yesterday. Giving the thing a full listen, I have to say that Proph isn’t playing around on this project. Also, check out track 3,
Read moreA lot of times, when I hear a new hip hop song, it’s subject to the “test drive”. The test drive is when I play it in my ’96 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, with the bass up. If it sounds good in an Oldsmobile, it sounds good in anything. This track passed the test drive without even getting played in the
Read moreDenku gave us another leak from his upcoming “Quadrofiendia” album, due out in June. I’m eager for it, and not just because it means I get to release the “Unhandled Crossings” music video that I shot. It’s also because I get to hear more songs like this. If you don’t at least know the names Craig G or Sadat X,
Read moreMad Static sent me this video on Twitter the other night. I watched it last night after a ridiculously long study session, and was blown away. I always appreciate it when anything local is done with a high level of professionalism or creativity. Everything about this video is well done. The bombed out locations, the TV mixed with the vintage
Read moreA long time in the making, Gerald Walker’s new mixtape, “Believers Never Die” is out. No surprise, but it’s 17 tracks of smooth music, just in time for summer. More production from Taylor Gang producers Cardo & Sledgren, and definitely some awesome additions from Chicago’s own Slot-A, amongst others. Oh, did I mention XV, Phil Ade, and Skeme are all
Read moreAnother track that was recently sent to me that I finally got around to is Gentry’s “When I Make It”. Another really cool song, and admittedly one of the first times I’ve heard Gentry. It’s cool to have a song that isn’t talking about “if”, but rather “when” I make it. That’s confidence, and I like it. Check out Gentry’s
Read moreSo, the blog posts have been few and far between lately. My bad, everyone. I’ve been busy, you’ll see why soon. Anyway, Jay Alexzander sent over this video a few days ago for his new song “Take Off”. It’s a real laid back, cool track, and it’s nice to see a music video for Jay. If I’m not mistaken (which
Read moreThe Cranberry Show released their eagerly awaited “Cinema” video today. I just got the chance to check it out now, because I was busy working on a video of my own. It’s really awesome to see when people take time with their videos, creating a great end product. This is just another example of the great end product that comes
Read moreI kind of fell off of the face of the earth this weekend. The last week has been crazy busy and I just decided that I needed to relax a bit. However, on Saturday morning I saw a bit of this video… on my phone, in bed. I only saw a few seconds before my Youtube app froze, but it
Read moreArtists like Dee Phr3sh! and Vonny Del Fresco continue to impress me. They’re still young, but when they do things, they make sure that there’s a certain level of quality to them. There’s times when I think that artists like them really can make a name for themselves if they keep up with that professionalism with every release. From a
Read moreI went to a show at the Miramar Theatre this Wednesday. I’m not gonna lie, it was mainly to hand out some business cards and talk to Bill, the owner, about this TV show that we’re working on. I ended up having a pretty cool conversation with Taiyamo Denku while I was there. We talked a lot about professionalism, the
Read moreThe Cranberry Show recently got back from a trip to New York City, where they signed a management deal with a division of Violator Management. On the way through the city, they stopped at ThisIs50.com’s headquarters and shot this interview. Check out the ridiculous freestyles in this thing. Oh, and if you want to see them live, they’re at The
Read moreIf you don’t already know, I’m working on developing a television show about Milwaukee’s music scene. You can follow our haphazard antics/developments on Twitter here. The reason that we’re doing this is because too many amazing local artists are being slept on. Artists like Frankie Flowers are the reason I’m working on this show. This EP is more than solid,
Read moreLet me introduce two new faces to you: local rappers DayNAge and Athletic B. They called me up yesterday, very excited about a new series that they’re working on called WordLife Wednesdays. Every Wednesday, you’ll get something new from them. From what DayNAge told me, it could be anything. A song, a freestyle, just some random video… anything. This is
Read moreI’ve watched Pizzle grow from his Pelicular mixtape to this point, and it’s amazing to see the progress he’s made. His “Fame in Vain” album was one of my favorite releases of last year, and this mixtape picks up right where that one left off, The production is solid all the way through, and it’s cool to see him collaborate
Read moreIf you take the Weeknd, put it in a blender with Sango, and put Vonny del Fresco, you get “Gone”, the newest track from VDF. I’m a fan of everything that him and Dee Phr3sh! are doing at such a young age. It seems like there’s a lot of young talent jumping leaps and bounds with every track they release,
Read moreYungn sent me a new video today, this time with a much different message than the last Fly Division video that I saw. The message is simple: Stop the violence. You can’t argue with that, right? Please go find out about the efforts being made in your community to create a peaceful society. If you can’t find one, start one.
Read moreJay Alexzander is back with a song about hearts on Valentine’s Day. Clever, isn’t it? Anyway, Jay adds his vocals to a nice, ambient sounding beat. Until you hear his verse come in, you expect Drake to show up or something. Jay gives this sound a little different approach though, with a catchy hook and some nice lyricism, including an
