By Nate ZivinMusic Journalist At the first listen to Laveda’s latest studio release What Happens After, my heart started racing. Overwhelmed by finally finding a great band, which seems so hard to do these days, I knew Laveda was worthwhile to get invested in. Laveda sonically sensationalizes all the right taste buds at once.

By Jason ArlineMusic Journalist The history of hip-hop is riddled with moments in which the music was seen as less than tolerable by the media. From the early days when hip-hop was forced to be performed in parks and alleys because the disco clubs wouldn’t play “kid” music, to the ‘90s era when gangster rap was seen as the cause of violence and civil unrest, hip-hop has always been the […]
By Pearce O’NealMusic Journalist With everyone staying inside and away from the outside world, people who normally spend their weekends at concerts or social events are probably getting a little stir-crazy right now.
