Benjamin Kenyon Rap/Hip-Hop Journalist May 6 marks the 10th anniversary of Bottomless Pit, a masterpiece of an album from the band whose concert literally gave me a minor case of tinnitus: Death Grips.

Benjamin Kenyon Rap/Hip-Hop Journalist Anyone who’s attended a ticketed live event in the last few years can agree that the cost is absurd across the board. The prices of food, soft drinks, and spirits make airport prices look like great deals. Fees that are hidden all throughout the purchasing process until checkout pile up and often end up costing as much as a substantial percentage of the original ticket price. All of this typically ends up making attending a […]

Since the release of his debut mixtape, Abel Tesfaye, better known to fans as The Weeknd, has launched himself to global superstardom.

Benjamin Kenyon Rap/Hip-Hop Assistant Last Month, San Marcos’ The Marc celebrated its 11th anniversary of operation with a night of music headlined by DJ Steve Aoki. After being told that conveniently the venue had just run out of media passes, I set out to find a spot I could take in the show as well as take somewhat coherent notes.
