First Day Feature: Big Tunk breaks down “Dreamz X Poetry” project, talks growing up in North Mississippi
One thing I love about Hip-Hop, more specifically that from Mississippi is the fact that good music can come from any place no matter how big or small.

First Day Feature: Davante Liv3 talks new “XCII” EP, life in the 90’s and more
While I personally feel that each decade and time period has it’s own importance to the culture as we know it, if you ask most folks they would quickly tell you the 90’s was special. It was a time of liberation as we saw barriers break down in film, television and of course music. Even…

First Day Feature: Dré Dys tells us the process behind “The Bridge” and much more
Though Hip-Hop has its fair share of flaws, one thing you cannot discredit in it is the amount of soul that is often placed into the music.

First Day Feature: Ty Knight releases his new EP “Therapy Vs. Theory”, talks move from Reno, NV to Jackson
Therapy is not something that is typically viewed in the most positive light in the Black community. Though times have changed and people are more understanding of it’s benefits, it is still a stretch to say it is universally understood and appreciated in the culture.
