Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing Diamond D, Fat Joe, and Buckwild, and of course I’m a huuuge D.I.T.C. fan, so it was great to see how this piece brought the story of the whole crew together, album by album. Love the approach, props to the author Mike “DJ” Pizzo, and salute to all the legendary D.I.T.C. members.

Check out the oral history below, and grab their new album HERE.

Brandon Wardell on No Jumper

Comedy, Podcasts, Videos

One of my favorite young comedians Brandon Wardell pays a visit to the No Jumper podcast. I’m about halfway through, but so far it’s a lot of fun and friendly comedy, drug, relationship and sex talk (“head is sick” hahaha)…and I feel like it keeps getting better as I listen/watch so I’m curious to see what else they get into. Check it out, and peep a short but solid Brandon Wardell stand up set HERE if you’ve never seen him do his thing.

Westside Parlé on Feed The Meter

Interviews, Music, Podcasts

BX’s own Westside Parlé—who I’ve been saying is my favorite new rapper out of NYC—pays a visit to the Feed The Meter podcast, hosted by Hot 97/Juan Epstein affiliates DJ Juanyto, Hip Hop Mike, and Billy Jr. It’s a fun and interesting talk, plus we get some impromptu and impressive bars towards the end.

Keep your eyes open for Parlé, he’s a problem. Shouts to my dude Dro with the cameo, too. Stay up.

Really enjoying this early preview of the new Fruit Bats album Absolute Loser. For those in search of a high-quality indie folk fix, stream this now and grab it when it comes out on 5/13…

Nobody

Music

I’ll say with confidence that the one song I’ve listened to the most over the last six months is Leisure’s “All Over You.” It’s literally one of my favorite songs of all time. So naturally I’m checking for anything new these dudes drop. And their latest, a collabo with GoldLink titled “Nobody,” is pretty damn fresh. Who knew New Zealanders had so much soul?

Here’s hoping someone out there gets laid to this.

Rambo Bars

Music, Videos

My favorite new rap artist out of NYC—Westside Parlé—hits us with some heat over Bryson Tiller’s “Rambo” instrumental. This shit is tough.
