Hip-Hop and Comics are arguably two of the most historically popular and influential forms of entertainment media, so it's only natural that they would have a confluence of fans and a panel at WonderCon 2017 to bring them together. As a pair of #GeekSwaggers who are quite obviously huge fans of both mediums, both "Pasto" …

While most other music blogs and webzines are posting up their annual "Best Albums of the Year" noms, we're still playing catch-up with the hip-hop onslaught that was November and December. Got-damn!

SCHOOLBOY Q / CUT CHEMIST / BLU & NOTTZ / UGLY HEROES [#GeekSwag Reviews]: Yah! Yah! Yah!

There isn’t much to say about the new ScHoolBoy Q album, Blank Face LP. Now, that’s not to say that the album isn’t dope as hell. There just isn’t much about it that is new or shocking. It feels like the same story is being told. Not even a different part of the same story; …
