| Photos From the First Annual POW Fest, Labor Day 2015 | September 16, 2015 |
The photos were taken by Forest Casey at The Echo, during a day and night festival that changed the course of space, time, and rap music. Oh, and celebrated 10 years as a website.
| Rap-Up Week of 4/24/15 | April 24, 2015 |
From De La and Nas to Post Malone to OG Maco to OT Genasis.
The Wayniac returns.
We’re presenting a rap show on Thursday for people who like rap shows. Maybe you enjoy a good old fashioned rap show? If not, maybe you have accidentally clicked onto the wrong site. The confusion may be my fault. We are in the promise of revitalizing the prestigious Cat Fancy brand in order to create […]
| Jonwayne Smokes Special Herbs | July 15, 2014 |
As Zilla Rocca tweeted: DOOM is so dope that there are about six rappers under 25 who jack his style wholesale and are Internet sensations. Jonwayne is not one of the imitators. Call him that and he’ll walk up to you in public and throw a shoulder block at your Adam’s Apple, the same way […]
| Drake Suarez: If Rappers Were Footballers | June 20, 2014 |
Somehow the rap game, reminds Dweez of the beautiful game. Art by Ben Bjelajac. Drake featuring Drake. We’ve now seen all 32 teams play in this tournament.

Chris Daly is naughty. By nature. The “problem” with spring is that it never lasts long enough for anyone’s liking.

| Jonwayne as “El Mariachi” | April 9, 2014 |
Tosten Burks stole Warren Buffet’s billion dollar prize. It is likely that none but Stones Throw’s shaggy sumo philosopher Jonwayne are quoting Bukowski and sampling flamenco guitar in the same song. “The Desert” comes just as LA starts to smolder, complete with all the rich soil and thick blood necessary to survive in the Mojave […]
| Jonwayne Teaches You How to Be a Good Gemini | February 25, 2014 |
There was a time when Jonwayne quit rapping for a 9 to 5. It should’ve been a simple time, designing spread sheets, promoting synergy, devising ways to strengthen the brand while ensuring that its core growth metrics were as appealing as the face on a new-born baby. But things didn’t work out. Gemini’s are notorious […]
| Video: Jonwayne — The Come Up | January 7, 2014 |
Jonwayne with the Jesus hair and the debo bike, still coming up with the scorched path of destruction like Bowser. That was the name of his first beat record, but doubled as an alliance with the enemy. If I were a rapper, I would want neither this dude or a fire breathing lizard on my […]
