Metallungies Hollers @ Curren$y, Interview.

If you’re a rapper today, you can do one of three things: constantly talk about restoring hip-hop to how it was ten fifteen years ago, air out pointless rivalries on YouTube, or wear spandex. Amidst all these shenanigans, there’s Curren$y, a rapper from New Orleans who has the audacity to..

Tashan Dorrsett (Kool Keith) – La Chacha.

Kool Keith is hit or miss with me. I couldn’t handle the porno-level vulgarity of Sex Style, but I loved his screechy/quirky collaboration with Godfather Don on The Cenobites LP. He’s releasing his new album, an Indian-flavored excursion called Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity, under the name Tashan Dorrsett. Damn, even Kool..

Marsha Ambrosius – Yours Truly (Untagged), Mixtape.

ML @ New York Comic Con 2009.

Kid Flash and Solomon Grundy stood behind me in line for the coat check posing for pictures. For every picture, Grundy threw out his arms and roared. It takes a lot to get a New Yorker’s attention, but after the second or third roar, I had to turn around and..

ML @ New York Comic Con 2009: Itinerary.

At Metal Lungies, we eat, sleep and poop hip-hop. But sometimes, we get tired of the violence, drugs and stupidity. When that happens, we listen to Kid Cudi, Kanye West and other more lighthearted musical fare. But then we eventually get tired of the inane lyrics, ephemeral dance tracks and..

Co$$ – Tomorrow’s Yesterday, Mixtape.

Been waiting on this one. Co$$, from the Blu & Exile school of underground rap, drops a mixtape of unreleased tracks. I’ve always thought of Co$$ as little more than Blu’s weed carrier who can drop a worthwhile verse here and there, but he really stepped up with this mixtape...
