Top 10 Summer Cruising Jams

We’ve been having an amazing stretch of pre-summer weather here in Boston which means cookouts, summer shades and driving with the windows down and the system up.

Erykah Badu- New Amerykah Part 2

As much as we say we celebrate individuality and creativity in the music industry, the truth is a great deal of tunes churned out these days by “artists” are nothing more than regurgitations of generic pop formulas.  I’m not commenting on whether this music is “good” or “bad,” I’m simply making the point that most of mainstream music conforms to particular styles »
