Being quarantined is making rap legends as nostalgic and reflective as the rest of us. Big Boi is, of course, one half of OutKast and a core member of the world-changing Atlanta collective the Dungeon Family (named after the crew’s original studio, the Dungeon, located in the basement of DF member Rico Wade’s mother’s house). And […]
More than a year after his fatal shooting, Nipsey Hussle‘s memory lives on. This week, Compton rapper Problem shared the new video for his Nipsey tribute record “Janet Freestyle (Remix).” The song, which was produced by Nipsey’s frequent collaborators Mike & Keys, finds Problem reflecting on Nips’ tragic death as well as his contributions to hip-hop and the SoCal community.

Sylo, as his name suggests, is a bit of an anomaly for a number of reasons. The first and most obvious is that he’s an R&B artist of Asian descent, and while there’s been a few that have risen to prominence in recent years (such as fellow Canadians like anders and Manila Grey), it’s still […]
LNDN DRGS’ Jay Worthy has shared the video for his song “Two4One.” In the visual, we see shots of Worthy rapping in cities across the U.S., including Salt Lake City, Orlando, and Raleigh. “[I] shot this video while on the IGOR Tour around the USA—it was my first big tour around the whole country like that,” […]
Houston’s Alaina Castillo continues to make waves with her new track, appropriately titled “ocean waves.” “‘Ocean waves’ is about giving in to your feelings and letting things go for the sake of your own happiness,” she told Complex about the R&B-infused pop track. “We started with the ocean because its full of mystery and darkness, which I love, so […]
