Females Are Killing It
In a recent interview, I asked Eternia why there aren’t more women in rap. This is what she had to say, “I don’t believe that there is actually a lack of females in hip-hop. I think there’s a lack of coverage, oftentimes. I think that getting ourselves out there with multiple full-length albums, there is…

Muneshine Interview
I was really excited to go to the Shad / D-sisive / Ngajuana concert last month. I had already interviewed everyone on the bill that night but the D-sisive interview I did was nearly ten years ago and it was for the university newspaper. I was really looking forward to interviewing him again for the DOPEfm…

Give The Roots Their Due
So I’m rolling in the car with a friend who is not a fan of rap music. My MP3 player is hooked up to the car stereo and we’re listening to some country music. Tim McGraw’s Southern Voice is an amazing album. Love it! Anyway, she feels like listening to something else and starts scrolling…

Don’t Flaunt It
I found this image on the ever captivating Tumblfrog site and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. It really says a lot about how we perceive romance and love. Most people don’t even notice the small signs of affection that many men and women share with each other while out in public. I know…

Ngajuana – Don’t Dismiss the Name
