JUMP FORCE / SOUL CALIBUR VI [E3 2018]: Anime Fight Club.

With the newest anime fighter from Bandai Namco, I got the best of both worlds at E3 2018--having, yesterday, a pair of hands-on matches at the Xbox E3 Showcase, and, today, learning more detail with a roughly 20-minute behind closed doors panel at Bandai Namco. Both got me psyched for the game. Jump Force is …

THE #GEEKSWAG AWARDS [Best Hip-Hop of 2016]: Soundtrack 4 Tha Geekz.

1. Aesop Rock - The Impossible Kid - In addition to the brunt of Aesop Rock’s stilted, often second-person conversations (“you’re dreaming of Arcadia, you’re feeling like a baby tooth/ Awaiting panacea, channeling your inner Beowulf”) the rapper seems to be having a lot more fun behind the boards, too. Tracks like “Kirby”, “Waters Tower” …

ATMOSPHERE / RAS KASS / M.I.A. / BISHOP LAMONT [#GeekSwag Reviews]: Rhyme Sayers.

Over the past 20-years, Slug and Ant have been speaking their minds and reeling you in with their own style of thought-provoking hip-hop. Over time they’ve stayed true to their style--and unlike some older groups--haven’t strayed from what they do best in the slightest. That being said, if you’re looking for hard, banging beats, you’ve …

TOP 5 #GeekSwag ALBUMS [2007]: Dirty Little Angels.

Only an idea such as this could come from a nerd/rap chat on one slow, boring weekend night at work--or, more apropos, from some Moody guy who clearly has no life (and the help of a few others!). Either way, #GeekSwag is the merging of hip-hop music and geek culture, and while it existed in …

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. …

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 …

KENDRICK LAMAR / SAMIYAM / LUSHLIFE & CSLSX / LMNO [#GeekSwag Reviews]: To Pimp A Galaxy.

Alright. Before we head into this studio, I got to make sure you cool. Don’t come in here snapping pictures and don’t record a damn thing. We' not even suppose to be in here. Kendrick Lamar is in a middle of a jam-session preparing for his second album, and said we can chill out and …
