DAILY RECORD: Vermapyre/Ides Of Gemini

DAILY RECORD: Hello Handshake

Radio Rubber Room EP10, Destiny Da Chef

This week, Destiny Da Chef came in and kicked with those wacky lunatics on Radio Rubber Room. We where also joined in studio by White Urban Comedy Specialist, Patrick McCarthy.

DAILY RECORD: Jesuit

Jesuit – Discography (Magic Bullet) In the process of retrospectively analyzing anything, it can be difficult to avoid compartmentalizing history into categories far neater than the amorphous flow of human existence tends to actually be. Alliances between people and similarities in thought processes which may not have been readily apparent as...

DAILY RECORD: Pharoahe Monch

Pharoahe Monch – W.A.R. (We Are Renegades) (Duck Down) Since the beginning of his career, Queens-based rapper Pharoahe Monch has been forced into the underdog's role; constantly on the verge of larger things, but never quite earning the success for which his ability should rightly qualify him.

Black Liquid: Richmond Hip Hop Goes Hard To Get Warped???

SHOW REVIEW: Spanish Gamble, White Wives, Landmines

Spanish Gamble, White Wives, and Landmines Wednesday, April 6 at Empire Empire's kind of a strange place to see shows; with its long, narrow shape and relatively little room for a band to set up down at one end, it can create an awkward viewing environment for anyone beyond the first couple of rows in the audience. For that reason, I always try...
