CHANCE the RAPPER / HOMEBOY SANDMAN / ODDISEE / KAYTRANADA [#GeekSwag Reviews]: Book of Steel.

All jokes aside, I've never heard an album like this. There are countless "debut" albums of indie artists or underground artists breaking into the major realm of fame. They're not necessarily being signed to a major label, just reaching the 1st stage of major level fame. These albums are usually fueled by the joy of …

RADIOHEAD / AESOP ROCK / D.I.T.C. [#GeekSwag Reviews]: Dream ‘The Impossible’.

I've listened to A Moon Shaped Pool five times now in order to write this review, and much like that fifth listening I kinda want to just get this over with. That sounds harsh, I know. I'm vexed right now. Not because of this album, but I'm just not in the mood to mince words. …

MR. LIF / J DILLA / ROYCE 5’9″ / J-ZONE [#GeekSwag Reviews]: Cloak & Dagger.

There's a few things you must understand before jumping into the goods of this review: 1.) Both the artist, Mr. Lif, and yours truly are Massholes (i.e. residents of the state of Massachusetts), 2.) The former Def Jukie is one of the most relevant hip-hop lyricists to #GeekSwag, known for spitting sociopolitical raps with a …

RJD2 / OPEN MIKE EAGLE + PAUL WHITE / ODDISEE / PLANET ASIA & DJ CONCEPT [#GeekSwag Reviews]: Fortunate Ears.

From the guy who delivered the ultra hypnotic, now famous Mad Men theme, to the sonically-enhanced soundscapes that justify his name similar to the more famous droid counterpart, comes Dame Fortune, RJD2's 7th solo album in 15-years. Yeah, this boy's been making music for a minute. If you're curious because you heard RJ can mesh …

FLATBUSH ZOMBIES / JOELL ORTIZ / ELZHI / COOKBOOK & EVIDENCE [#GeekSwag Reviews]: A ‘Lead’ Odyssey.

Flatbush Zombies’ music is horrorcore, fantasy and sci-fiction hippy Hip-Hop gone right. I'm usually far from a fan of horrorcore since I usually view it as shock value music and nothing more. These Zombies defy and refine that, because it is about a story, with a flow uniquely their own--complete with instrumentals that are usually …
