#WhiskeyWednesday Managing Expectations: 7 Keys To Hip Hop Happiness Part 2

Greetings Gautamanation
Today I’m bumping my homie James from way back’s project A Tightly Woven Lattice. The record is called “Bread And Rubber” and it’s definitely worth a listen. Since James is a Southern gentlemen this record pairs up best with some bourbon and I recommend Wild Turkey 101 on the rocks. Sip [...]

#WhiskeyWednesday V 2.0 Back In Action For 2013

What’s up everybody,
I know we’re already a 3rd of the way through it but I hope this year’s been treating you all well.  Mine’s been pretty awesome.  After essentially quitting rap (again) six months I find myself once again motivated and productive.  I put a new EP last month through my good friend Crocker’s label [...]

Sometimes you gotta let go…

#MusicMonday Jay Qwest: “Whiskey & Gunpowder”

Emcee/Producer team-ups don’t happen enough anymore.  It’s really too bad because there is a certain type of cohesion that comes from an album produced by a single producer.  Jay Qwest’s “Whiskey & Gunpowder” is just such an album.  Produced entirely by Illastrate, the album is tied together by the soulful samples and subtly bombastic drums [...]

Racist Time Out… Sounding Off On Trayvon Martin

I have a confession to make. You see that dude giving the two thumbs up right above this text, that’s me. An Irish/Scottish/Polish/Ukrainian American… to be any whiter I would have to have thrown some Scandinavian in there. Yep, I’m white, it happens. White lady meets white man, they fall in [...]

Cheers Gautamanation,
I sprung for some Bushmill’s on this one to be thematically accurate to today’s subject, “Dance Cowboy”

Here’s the words:
Verse One:
Here we go again/ Bushmills on the rocks Kush up in the wind/ another venue full of single serving friends/ that’s the life I’m living ain’t no reason to pretend/ and I [...]
