Roc Marciano, The Break Runner and King Killer | September 28, 2012 |
Time for some Roc Marciano to poison the palate. As always, there are too many quotables to list without rewinding two dozen times. Yes, he did say that he runs the break like Dave Wingate. Roc remains more vicious than an unfed Hoya. I can’t spot the sample so anyone with deeper crates should tell […]
The Roc is in the Building | August 23, 2012 |
Winter encroaches whether we want it or not. Roc Marci understands this, so Reloaded stabs on November 13 just in time for the ice and tar to congeal in your lungs. At this point, the ex-U.N. member might be the most consistent rapper breathing. If he breathes. You get the sense that breathing would make […]
Drank & Drugs with Gangrene & Roc Marc | July 20, 2012 |
More trippy visuals from Alchemist and company, who are doing the Leary’s work when it comes to re-defining psychedelic rap. Dare Iz a Darkside should have been one of the most influential albums of its time. Alas. Let’s not make the same mistake twice. Vodka & Ayahuasca and Russian Roulette are now available at your […]
The Purists: May Roc Marciano Never Change | July 9, 2012 |
Have you ever been really really high and looked into your wallet, pulled out a dollar bill and Roc Marciano started speaking to you? He tells you to fuck what the Bible says and hustle until your final days. Vinyls play while you are crowned with pineapple haze accolades. You start wondering whether its a […]
Roc Marciano, Emerald Emperor | March 27, 2012 |
Blood diamonds are too cliche and Roc Marc’s gift is putting a fresh spin on the familiar. So enter “Emeralds,” more crowbars and cars as flying carpets rap. If I were to pitch a reality show to MTV Iggy, it would involve Roc Marciano, Action Bronson, and Rick Ross competing to make up the most […]
Roc Marciano – “Poltergeist” | March 6, 2012 |
Gangrene Alchemize Vodka & Ayahuasca | January 25, 2012 |
Last week, I spent four hours rambling around weed dispensaries with Alchemist and Oh No, watching documentaries on Ayahuasca, and smoking enough weed and hash to harm the health of even a “legalize hemp” advocate. They are true professionals. The article drops in the LA Weekly two weeks from tomorrow and I’d planned on timing […]
Gangrene, Vodka and Ayahuasca | November 21, 2011 |
It’s hard to procure Ayahuasca. I tried to get it two years ago, when I met a girl named Jacqui at a Surfrider-sponsored hippie firepit guitar dance-off in an esoteric canyon that I’d never even heard of and can’t remember. She sold weed chocolates and told me that she was involved with a sacred shaman-led […]
Shotguns, Slang and Quelle Chris | October 18, 2011 |
You might remember Quelle Chris from the interview that Aaron Matthews did earlier this year, asking the Detroit bruiser to break down his production work on Danny Brown’s Hybrid. Quelle’s been rhyming since carrying bridge cards in Wasted Youth, alongside Ta’Raach and Elzhi, but his affiliation with the Adderall admiral is what’s really got him […]
