NEW YELAWOLF! (And a few words about mainstream rap.)

Posted on August 5th, 2010 by ekko

He’s gonna be releasing a major label record later this year, which I have to admit chafes a little–wish he could be indie!  But at the same time, the major labels have really done their job this year.  Usually there’s maybe two or three major rap releases that I find anywhere near as good as what I hear from the underground, but this year’s releases by Em, Big Boi, The Roots, and B.O.B. have been pretty great.  (Wish B.O.B. hadn’t relied so heavy on guest shots, but it’s still a solid record.)  And there is even a major label rap/rock album that’s pretty damn good: the new Black Keys.  Maybe there’s still hope!

  • Berkeley Place is also 6 blocks of Brooklyn real estate, emerging from Sackett St. and ending at Banana Hill, a small park that grows a foot each year from dog shit and the corpses of dead rats. Though its residents have gotten wealthier over the decades, Berkeley Place still houses folks of all backgrounds with interests in, well, everything.
  • WHAT THE HELL GOES ON HERE? Ekko reviews independent music, comic books, and whatever else interests him.
  • WHAT THE HELL IS INDIE MUSIC? An independent record label (or indie record label) is a record label operating without the funding of or outside the organizations of the major record labels. - Wikipedia.org That means they ain't in the RIAA, dude.

    HOW CAN I GET IN ON THIS?

    • Email me
      for the specifics but, basically:
    • I listen to all submissions of entire albums, not songs or compilations.
    • With rare exceptions I will not review material protected by the RIAA. So Sony, BMG, etc., don't start sending me crap. I'm not interested.
    • I don't listen to streams.
    • I won't read online comic-books. I may read .pdfs. I will read all hardcopy submissions.
    • I will review only submissions that I can recommend. I'm not here to do negative reviews.
    • Contact me to tell me to remove something. I'll take it down within 24 hours.
