The Boys in The Boat by Daniel Brown Henry & Glenn Forever by Tom Neely Root For The Villain: Rap, Bull$hit, And A Celebration of Failure by J-Zone| Drug Cinema with Miami’s SdotBraddy | October 16, 2014 |
Torii MacAdams is taking his talents to Dallas. Raider Klan should’ve been A$AP Mob. Instead of a figurehead whose most notable beef is with a fashion house, Raider Klan was gifted/cursed with an enigmatic leader who tweets about excluding his girlfriend from threesomes and Black Israelites. Spaceghostpurrp’s eccentricity (or, perhaps, plain egomania and insanity) caused […]
| Closets Flooded With Lo: Retchy P “Amadei Porcelana” | October 10, 2014 |
Torii MacAdams paid for his necklace then ate breakfast Despite a name that conjures images of projectile vomiting, Retchy P is a purveyor of the finer things in life. His social media is a mildly self-incriminating documentation of turkey bags full of bud, colorful cups of lean, erect middle fingers, and the occasional threesome. The […]
| Str8 Westcoastin’: Cozz “Cozz N Effect” | October 8, 2014 |
Torii MacAdams has five on the twenty sack Los Angeles is slow. Our lifestyle’s predicated on afternoon naps, the economy is dependent on medical marijuana, and for much of the day the freeways are gridlocked parking lots. The city’s inherent violence, and struggles of class and race, are hidden behind heavy lids and Wayfarers. Rap […]

| Between the Trap and the Clouds: Rustie “Green Language” | September 18, 2014 |
Torii MacAdams is chillin with his man Rusty In seventh grade, all my friends played the Fainting Game. The preferred method was to hyperventilate with back to wall, then have a friend compress one’s chest, inducing a heady, oxygen-deprived euphoria. I never liked it; the brief asphyxiation was too close a cousin to Death for […]
| He Deserves To Do These Numbers: DJ Mustard “10 Summers” | August 18, 2014 |
Torii MacAdams is like all races combined in one man like the ’98 summer jam A decade is a long time to plan for. Even Joseph Stalin, a dictator, only had the temerity to plan in five year increments. The initial plan led to the starvation of millions. The baby-faced DJ Mustard’s ostensible plot for […]
| Filthy From the Ground On Up: EarthGang “The F Bomb” | August 14, 2014 |
Torii MacAdams gets green like Swamp Thing In Ego Trip’s Big Book of Rap Lists, rapper and legal department liability R.A. The Rugged Man lists the top ten ways to get dropped from a record label. Number one is “Glorify violence, keep your label in fear at all times and make them believe that making […]
Torii MacAdams is tired of rappers comparing “Medusa” to all things sedimentary in their rhymes In Greek mythology, Gaia, the Earth’s mother, is the primordial deity who birthed the Titans, along with daughter Rhea, who begat the Olympian Gods. The Titans and Olympian Gods were combative shit-stirrers, mothered by the terra itself, considerable forces destined […]
Torii MacAdams is too cold wit it While pubescent Swedish rappers are struggling to figure out how to preserve their non-existent waves under a durag, Frenchman Jean-Pierre Labarthe has been releasing his Southern Gatorz mixes. The premise of the Southern Gatorz mixes is (unsurprisingly) largely unknown contemporary Southern rap. Labarthe has clearly been doing his […]
| A New Request From H-Town: Houston Rap Tape Radio | July 29, 2014 |
Torii MacAdams is rockin knockin the boots If you love Houston rap, you know that the unassumingly titled Houston Rap: Photographs by Peter Beste is an indispensable document of H-Town’s rich rap history. Though the photos were captured by Beste, hence the title, the actual author of the compendium is one of Texas’ own exes, […]
