On August 23, Andy Mineo released a musical-podcast hybrid called Work in Progress. The project is unlike any released by the artist before, compiling several unreleased tracks into a single release with a podcast series used to create additional conversation. Whereas Mineo’s earlier releases accounted for a single season, Work in Progress gives listeners a more complete display of Mineo’s artistic evolution.

Perhaps the most crucial element of Work in Progress is […]

Von Won dropped his 23-track album wet paint 3: Church Socks and Jordans featuring a who’s who of Christian rap. Some of the notables are Tedashii, Dru Bex, and Bryann Trejo.  “Church Socks and Jordans is a continuation of my Wet Paint mixtape series and it only seemed right to honor that hip hop tradition with my take on a classic cut. I like to say I’m ‘raptizing’ the original,” Von Won said of single “Dear Von.”  Von explained the “Wet Paint” title is not only a nod to the candy-colored slabs of Houston’s car culture, but it’s also a way to acknowledge that […]
