By Dylan Masvidal | Staff Writer 43 songs. 2 hours and 31 minutes. No lesson learned, myself included. On paper, a new Drake album should elicit some degree of excitement. He has yet to lose his hit-making prowess, builds hype around a project like nobody’s business, and now, pushing 40 years old, boasts a resume […]
By Dylan Masvidal | Staff Writer I’m sure you’ve heard it from a wise, MTV Generation member of your family more than once: “I was [blank] when ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ came out.” The tired truth remains that in September 1991, Nirvana became the face of an era in a flash. Grunge was now the […]
By Bryan Baste | Staff Writer When Damon Albarn announced The Mountain, I was intrigued, as in my opinion, their last album, Cracker Island, failed to reach any sort of “good” expectation from me. After listening, I can confidently say The Mountain is an improvement, albeit a very small one. The album is filled with […]
By Dylan Masvidal | Staff Writer Dr. J. Cole, tell me you’re not just a pedagogue. After almost eight years of teasing, the lyricist dubbed Carolina’s finest has released his self-proclaimed swan song. Cole’s elder-statesman status in the rap game is fascinatingly polarizing, juxtaposed with his contemporaries. Here’s an artist who’s garnered an extremely loyal […]

The album, released on January 1st, begins with the sounds of traditional Tambores Venezolanos. In celebration of the new year, they sing in Spanish: “Rawa wishes you a happy new year, and may […]
By Bryan Baste | Staff Writer Music can be used as a means to transport yourself to a different state of mind. Think about whenever you listen to a psychedelic album, song, trance music, techno, etc. Any type of music that can take you out of reality and into your mind. You probably felt some […]
Wenderlis Guevara | Contributor writer In true Swift Style, just when the world wasn’t expecting it, she surprises fans with yet another era to obsess over. After wrapping up “The Eras Tour” last year and releasing her last album, “The Tortured Poets Department” in April 2024, just when fans thought there would be a break […]
Dylan Masvidal | Staff Writer “Bass Is the Name of the Game” takes us way back in time, when hip-hop was dominated by regional styles. The mainstream homogenization of the genre through echoing reverb and metallic synth leads has taken hold as of late, resulting in a lack of flavor that used to dominate distinction […]
Dylan Masvidal | Staff Writer There are facets of our world that have never been easy to explain. Conspiracy theorists still run around denouncing the existence of dinosaurs. Professional wrestling fans assume a Mandela effect must have occurred for CM Punk to be all buddy-buddy with the WWE again. And up until now, the idea […]
Dylan Masvidal | Staff Writer Bad Brains. I could wrap this up now and you’d be satisfied by just the sheer mention of their name. A band whose seat at the hardcore punk high table is indicative of one thing: boundary pushers to the highest degree. This is not only due to operating in the […]
Dylan Masvidal | Staff Writer Nope, I’m not gonna do it. I refuse to waste a single word on the “thing” you all expect me to reference. That being said, Will Smith is undeterred in his attempts to repent for the incident. Except now he’s decided to go back to the art form where the […]
