They say that "genius loves company". Back in late 2009, I had the pleasure of meeting an emcee from southern California by the name of Coincidence Uno. With a pension for sports, an ear for the unconventional and a lyrical inflection so golden [era] it made you question how old he was, he set out to develop a hip-hop label. That label was Huh, What and Where Records. Now, fast forward two years later and you have a roster that bolsters the likes of Bahwee, Mike Gao, MNDSGN and Elaquent. In early 2010, Akello, another...

In our quaint little Earmilk chats, there are occasional disagreements, but there's one thing we all seem to be able to agree upon: Star Slinger. I can't think of an artist who comes up from more perspectives than this guy. He's hard to categorize but he always hits the spot. This remix of Trombone...

It's a little shocking that Earmilk has not featured anything on YACHT before but as a redemption, we have an exclusive interview with this handsome duo Jona Bechtolt and Claire L. Evans. On a beautiful Sunday evening at the DeKalb Market, YACHT spoke with Earmilk about Portland, triangles,...
