Kash Young Rap/Hip-Hop Journalist As 2026 continues, there’s no shortage of great music coming throughout the whole year, from EDM to rap to pop and more. But I think one of the best hidden gems and slept-on albums has to come from this summer and from another up-and-coming South London artist, Fimiguerrero, with his EP Statue of a Fool. Statue of a Fool is an eight-song EP that runs one […]
Kash Young Rap/Hip-Hop journalist What do chainmail, armor, swords, dragons, and heroes all have in common? They’re all connected to one thing. Medieval trap, but what is a medieval trap? Who is using it, and why is it something you should care about? I’m gonna take you into the crazy, experimental, and newest album from Zukenee. Why should you care about this new tape? Simply, it’s unique. That’s saying a […]
Bhavana Hari Rap/Hip-Hop Journalist For Warren Commission, making music is not always about getting everything right on the first try. The best ideas begin as late-night experiments or sounds that only make sense once they've been rebuilt over and over again. For co-founders Tanay Kunta and Evan Lawrence, that process has become central to the way they approach songwriting. Warren Commission draws from the moody guitar work of the early […]
Emma Paff Rap/Hip-Hop Director On Monday, Oct. 5, photographer Cash Arenas and I journeyed from San Marcos to Austin to watch the band, Tokyo Tea Room, perform at 29th Street Ballroom. As we walked in, disco lights illuminated the walls and spun past the faces of the early crowd. The stage extended into the audience, and people were already claiming their spots from the three different sides an hour before […]
Enrique Lara Music Journalist Third Thursday concluded with enough energy to last until the next. The Porch once again hosted the event, with the band Building 8 kicking off the night at 10 pm and Burnadine finishing it off by midnight. As my first Third Thursday event, I will be bringing as many people as I can to experience the next. Building 8 started as I began to table with […]
Emma Paff Rap/Hip-Hop Director In the early morning hours of Friday, May 15, I was sitting outside a Taco Bell waiting for an Uber to take me home. The last thing I expected was for my friend to lift his phone and show me three new Drake albums. I was unaware he was even dropping, but the fact that he dropped so much music at once caught my attention. With […]
By Allison Schroeder Web Content Assistant Manager This little farewell has been sitting on my brain lately. One minute wanting to write it, the next not even thinking I should. This is because a part of me knows that writing this equals my last article ever for KTSW, and it is a bittersweet ending. I am happy to end my time here as it means I am walking into the […]
By Celeste Parler Web Content Contributor Unless you have been living under a rock, haven't been on social media in the last week or don't follow the latest celebrity news, then you have heard what everyone has had to say about the Met Gala. The Met Gala takes place every first Monday of May (except in 2021) and collects funds for The Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. […]
By Hannah Walls Web Content Contributor One thing to know about me is that I cannot go anywhere without a beverage in hand, especially during those super important "errands" I always have to run during the summer, e.g. hitting the Target clearance section, seeing if 5 Below has restocked Squishmallows yet and smelling every single candle Marshalls has to offer. Having a cold drink of some kind to cool down […]
