Interview with Sean C. Johnson

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. Whether it be the fear of aging, a celebration of marriage, or musical experimentation, the album is a thematic feast and might be Mineo’s most powerful project yet. Perhaps the most crucial element of Work in Progress is […]

NF recently sat down for a conversation with Ill Will at NME.com this week. Being someone who tends to be pretty vulnerable on the mic, NF found some space here in front of a camera to be real. Considering himself to be a quite negative person and preparing for the worst, NF says he finds it thrilling that he outsold Chance The Rapper’s debut album ‘The Big Day’ in the first week of sales with his new album The Search. Nate also shares how his perception changes the older he gets. He looks back on the song How Could You Leave Us […]

Speech Thomas is a legend in hip-hop. He is the head of classic hip-hop band Arrested Development who’s smash single “Tennesee” was rocking clubs and radio back in 1992. They were even chosen to pen a track for Spike Lee film ‘Malcolm X’. We had a chance to chat with the long-time artist, and here’s what he had to say. What do you think the key to your longevity has been? Passion. That’s really the key and being willing to fail a lot. Arrested Development just came off a European tour where you did 25 dates in 30 days. How […]

For weeks, indie tribe. founder nobigdyl. promoted the follow-up to his 2018 album, SOLAR. Releasing singles such as “EMCEE HAMMER,” “Fragile,” and “Energy,” as well as collaborating with fellow Christian rap artists 1K Phew, Canon, Jon Keith, and Steven Malcolm throughout 2019 has kept the former Capitol CMG artist busy. Still, nothing could compare to the release of LOWERCASE TAPE. Touted by Dyllie as a mixtape rather than EP or album (more on the distinction here), the project assembles a proverbial “who’s who” of artists. Nonetheless, it is never weighed down by the features, instead, focusing on the “…feeling of […]
