In interviews, Kendrick Lamar says good kid m.A.A.d city is a far cry from Section.80. Where Section.80 passed comment on Lamar's generation, good kid m.A.A.d city provides background for that appraisal. Not only do we gain a better understanding of Lamar through his personal histories, we also gain insight into the personalities of his peers ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul and Jay Rock. Good kid m.A.A.d city is a definitive album for Compton - though it is not without its flaws. The story told over the course of 12 songs -...
Thank Kendrick Lamar for leaking another banger from his highly anticipated forthcoming debut good kid, m.A.A.d city. K.

With this year's SXSW less than a day away, we at EARMILK have been discussing who we are hoping to catch at the two week interactive music, film, game, media extravaganza. With plenty emphasis on the "music" part, of course. The obvious headliners like Bon Iver or Whiz Khalifa (or Dixie Chicks,...
Another Friday, another new Phil Ade track released via his Twitter page. This time around, the DMV artist dropped a freestyle over Dr. Dre's "Still D.R.E" but Phil released his song as "Still Ade". Phil Ade is one of the realest rappers on the come up, and continues to impress us with his...
Fidel & Castro got sent back to Guantanamo Bay. I will be your guide to the world of Moombahton for now on. Picture an anxious Dave Nada just about to step behind the decks of a lil cuzz's basement house party in the suburbs of summer DC. It's a school day, but the kids are out and a handful...
