| The 5 Best and Worst: Cover Artwork 2014 | January 7, 2015 |
From Taylor Swift to Big Sean… OH GOD!?
| Kevin Gates & Rustie Know the Bouncer: “Wait in Line” | November 13, 2014 |
Torii MacAdams does the Shmoney dance with dual iPads Walt Whitman wrote “Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.)” Kevin Gates, too, contains multitudes, though admittedly many of his internal legion just want to punch you in the nose. The world’s foremost jailhouse behavioral therapist is […]
| Passion of The Weiss Staff Favorite Songs of Summer 2014 Part One | October 10, 2014 |
Asking music writers to agree on one thing is an impossible task. Some think Young Thug’s otherworldly yelps ruled the summer while others would prefer he return to his home planet. One thing you can depend on is most of these tunes will inspire unrestrained dancing all the way into autumn. See below for our […]
| 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 […]

Starting with back-to-back tracks from the burgeoning LuckyMe camp out […]
| The Grinch Attaks: Danny Brown and Rustie’s video | August 11, 2014 |
Danny Brown is a lyrical rapper who stays paid. Lyrics can, in fact, lead to paying 100 racks in taxes a year. Danny parties like a Roman senator, but refuses to dumb it down like an American senator. He has stayed hungry and rowdy. See also: this new video from “Attak,” which I already hailed before. […]
| Danny Brown & Rustie Attak | July 24, 2014 |
Danny Brown is probably the only rapper who sounds right over these type of intergalactic trap seizure beats. America might not have understood Dizzee Rascal, but they are ready for Danny Brown — at least if I am to believe the pandemonium at every festival he plays. The track taken from Rustie’s new album. Glasgow […]
| Rustie, the Seratonin Slasher | March 4, 2013 |
There’s a thin line between happy and hardcore. Go too far in one direction and you lose bounce. Go too far in the other and you lose brain cells. Judging from Rustie’s new track “Slasherr,” we are but a few mollies away from ushering in a Happy Hardcore revival, in which large groups of adolescents […]
