A year has come and gone as music has helped get us through the toughest of times and keep us happy during the best of times. Although this year didn't end up being one to remember for music lovers, at least it didn't end last week right? I've covered 7 albums a week since January and now it finally time to unveil my choices for the top 50 albums of 2012. I want to thank all of the readers for sticking with me this year and wish everyone a happy holidays and a very merry Christmas. I can't wait to get started on new...
Considering it's already been December 21 in several continents for a few hours -- and we're all still here -- let's continue with our list, as planned. In less than a fortnight 2012 will be little more than a memory for most.

King, who has released most of her music independently (her last EP, Seven, was produced in her home last July), is not the...
To promote his newest release, Robert Glasper, flanked by Bilal and Lupe Fiasco, took to the stage of The Late Show with David Letterman last week to perform "Always Shine", a favorite off Black Radio. With lyrical depth and vocal dexterity, Fiasco and Bilal man the mics while Derrick Hodge attacks...
In celebration and anticipation of The Robert Glasper Experiment's upcoming release, Black Radio, which is set to drop this coming Tuesday. Frolab and All the Way Live have compiled a series of live recordings of the band with special guests including Q-Tip, Pete Rock, Bilal, Doom and a cypher...
I've always liked jazz music because it makes me slightly uncomfortable. When you watch a good, live jazz performance, you've seen how uncontrollably contorted the bassist's face gets when he really feels that groove. His eyes are shut, his lips are vertically aligned with his nose, his body is...
