L.A. VanGogh Releases Multi-Faceted Full Length, ‘Drawback’
Over THREE years ago I put together an artist spotlight on L.A. VanGogh, an artist that continues to progress and innovate.

Jay Rence- Clairvoyance (Album Review)
Your Long Drive’s Best Friend Jay Rence is more than a rapper. The Medford, Oregon resident is an engineer, producer, guitarist, singer, songwriter and the list could go on. In a world oversaturated with trap beats, Rence’s style is a breath of fresh air. Drawing comparisons to Odd Future affiliated band: the Internet, Rence’s sound…

Although the playlist was on the money, one glaring omission from the pack was North Town native DemarcoTheMan. Despite the snub, Demarco checks in with a scorching brand new album, BlandBoy. Set to the…

YOU NEED TO HEAR THIS: doola – Meanwhile (New EP)
There are so many dope independent rappers nestled in the heart of Chicago. These MC’s can put out amazing music, but it often falls by the wayside, sinking into the black hole of the SoundCloud universe. One of the best projects I’ve heard all year has a similar story. Chicago talent doola just dropped his…
