Nina Corcoran’s ‘Best of 2014’ in Music

If there’s anything to be certain of when it comes to music, it’s that you can’t control when it strikes you. In a year filled with violence, racism, disease, and political stumblings, our brains were in overdrive trying to do the right thing. For most, music serves as an escape. It articulates emotions and brings […]

The Music That Moved Me In 2014

This time last year, my life was more hectic than ever before.

Run The Jewels Are Remaking ‘RTJ2’ Using Nothing But Cat Noises

The internet can do magical things. When Run The Jewels‘ El-P said he would remake the rap duo’s newest album using only cat sounds if someone bought a deluxe edition (costing $40,000), he never thought the goal would be met.

Run The Jewels Share ‘RTJ2’ Tracklist, Awesome Album Art, and New Tour Dates

Run The Jewels‘ sophomore release, RTJ2, has easily been one of my most highly anticipated albums of the year since its announcement.

Today, […]

Today, we get a proper 90-second teaser of that same track, which we now know is tentatively entitled “Blockbuster Night Part 1.” With an absolutely nasty beat and comedically angsty lines like “I Jake The Snake ’em […]
