Sain, aka Fouch, aka Chris Fouchet, is for sure my most mysterious personal friend. Also from Long Island, Sain has a super unique sound, something I try and strive for. For Sain, it comes naturally though. With a solid arsenal on SoundCloud, Self is Sain’s third project, the first two being Fouche and the second being Break (FoucheContinue reading “Self – SAIN”

STN MTN/Kauai – Childish Gambino
Today we’re gonna go back to 2014 when Childish dropped two EP’s, one titled STN MTN exclusively on Datpiff and the other as Kauai on all major streaming platforms. Two completely different EP’s dropped within minutes of each other that when put together make Childish’s STN MTN/Kauai masterpiece. The names of the EP’s have a lot toContinue reading “STN MTN/Kauai – Childish Gambino”
Beat Tape 2 – Tom Misch
Beat Tape 2 is Toms third project after his recording debut in 2014. I say recording debut because although he’s been making music all of his life, and releasing instrumentals on Soundcloud since 2012. I chose Beat Tape 2 because of a personal connection I have with this EP. As we know from my reviewContinue reading “Beat Tape 2 – Tom Misch”
The Essentials – Johnny Cash
This week I wanna take it back not only to 2005, when The Essentials was released – but to anywhere from the year he started in 1955 until the year he died in 2003.

Regardless their deaths caused waves in the music scene. We were also given a huuuge amount of new content! 2018 was really all-in-all a great yearContinue reading “JMax Top 5 of 2018”
In Context- The Palmer Squares
First off, major thanks to my day one boy Chis for showing me The Palmer Squares. That being said, let’s set the scene with a quote by Acumental from “Whatever Makes You Happy” that pretty much sums up The Palmer Squares: “Term and Ac been emancipated by a rather enchanting imagination…” Term and Ac a.k.aContinue reading “In Context- The Palmer Squares”
Mac Miller: A Celebration of Life
It’s so painfully hard to even begin conceptualizing putting 3 hours of pure love into a 600-1200 word blog post. The statement “A Celebration of Life” is only the framework of what this beautiful memorial of Mac Miller turned out to be. What I watched was better described as a three-hour collaboration of eighteen beautifulContinue reading “Mac Miller: A Celebration of Life”
Loop Daddy- Marc Rebillet
So folks, this week I’ve decided to cover a really interesting artist I discovered one night a few weeks ago with one of my coworkers while we were closing up the restaurant. His name is Marc Rebillet, and his music definitely isn’t for everyone. Marc released his debut album in October 2018. He refers toContinue reading “Loop Daddy- Marc Rebillet”
