It carries out the intent of inspiring, motivating, and sharing the notion of better days to come. Containing a consistent spread […]

4rm Losses 2 Leisures isn’t exactly here to make nice. This EP clocks in at barely 10 minutes, and frankly, it might be the most straightforward hip-hop project that I’ve heard in a long time. Don’t expect any long-winded introspection or filler tracks, because while I may have a greater critique about that in a

North Carolina-based act Kinsley comes at us with a new extended play called DEMONS, and it’s definitely got a lot going on. Taking cues from horror movie scores, William Blake, and even Psalm 34, the EP features a familiar gothic, theatrical vibe now refurbished with more focus on polish, synths, and heavier riffs that manage

Despite being a short-lived EP with three tracks, Shaven Primates made sure to make every second of “Chasing The Dragon” count by having that familiar rock sound in every song that hits close to home. The arrangements and the layers of instruments within the entire record is full, captures the entirety of sound, and overall
