How to Pull Senoritas in NYC

How to Pull Senoritas in NYC

NYC, the greatest city in the world, doubles as a leader in epicenters of senoritas in the United States of America. A conglomerate of five boroughs each with its’ own unique flavor of people, the metropolis is truly a melting pot. With so many people and different backgrounds, it is a city where standing out is no easy task. After all, New York is a place where city-goers overlook blatant obscenities on a near daily basis. Any nyc compilation online tends be full of bizarre moments, but real New Yorkers know that the city is much more explicit than that...

Hack Away at the Preconceived Idea of NYC Music

Hack Away at the Preconceived Idea of NYC Music

Over the past couple of years I would truly be jealous of anybody having a serious conversation about popular music out of NYC that did not include a healthy amount of talk about Drill music. Not that there is anything inherently wrong about drill music (unless perhaps you are part of the NYPD), however it seems to be the face of NYC music as of late. A city so rich with culture and diversity as New York City should not have its’ music confined to such a small box. Instead, the focus needs to be shifted to those bold enough...

DonJuanJody

Don Juan Don’t Miss!!

Who is Don Juan? The name Don Juan has historically been known to refer to a real womanizer. Over the years since that name was first seen in Spanish literature in the early 1600’s, there have been countless adaptations of the name/character. Most recently we’ve seen DonJuanJody embody this image. But his charismatic abilities run much deeper than that of romance. DonJuanJody first appeared on our radar far before he was anywhere near as established as he is today. “Fanta Boy” was our first taste of Jody and he has since been able to breathe life into every beat he...

Hyperpop Prodigy Unveils Their Most Anticipated Release

Music Today With more and more people actively connected to the world wide web each and everyday, it’s no surprise that there has since been a large rush of artists showcasing their work to said forum. Prior to the internet’s adoption, artists displaying their work to the masses was a pipe dream that only those who signed their life away to record labels and giant corporations had even a chance at making it large. Whereas now, some of the most forward thinking and influential artists are not even tied down to major labels. XXXTentacion was a prime example of utilizing...

Naveed Ahmed

Naveed Ahmed Is Here For The “Long Run”, A Deep Dive Into His Latest Track

Those familiar with the NYC underground music scene are sure to recall the recently disbanded band, “In Loving Memory”. Most notably remembered by their more elaborate music videos, and the consistent, shameless evolution of their sound. Towards the end of the band’s life we were able to catch an interview with the two members (as seen below). Half of that band was Naveed Stone, who now goes by Naveed Ahmed for his solo project he started last year in 2021. Ahmed has since began to develop quite the voluminous library considering the short time frame. When someone hears about a...

Drago Dives Deeper into a Fresh New Sound with Every Release

Drago has been in the game for at least the better half of the past decade. During Drago’s career there have been points where the artist began to experience a reputable amount of attention from fans as well as blogs. However over the past few years Drago has been seemingly in the shadows. Further developing his imaginative sound, track after track. Alongside the other members of his Boss Set click (d4rk indigo, young still and belrify) he created what he calls “Psychic Drill”… an abstract translation of the drill sound with intricate bar work accompanied with a soothing atmospheric sound....
