Wiz dropped his highly anticipated mix tape Taylor Allderdice. Obviously haven’t had a chance to give it a listen just yet, but I caught a few tweets from the Listening Session that went down a couple weeks ago. One blogger (@LowKeyUhtn), called it a mix between Cabin Fever and Kush & OJ; tough to to say what that means, but I’m going to take it as a positive. It’s no secret that the rapper has been struggling lately. I was convinced the dude fell off completely. Rolling Papers was less then stellar, he’s dating a whore, and now he’s writing bubble gum rap for the radio. Alas, a few of his recent singles and features have offered listeners a beacon of hope. He’s also had some trouble pushing his albums in the past, so he’s really counting on this one to build some steam for the upcoming O.N.I.F.C. 

So give it a listen, share your thoughts below, I’m interested to hear y’all take on this as well.

For now just hit the skip for the link and check back later for my full take and I’ll upload it so you can stream it as soon as possible. Chuuuccch. Read the rest of this entry →

During this year’s Boston Urban Music Festival (held at Beantown’s City Hall Plaza), performers included locally-bred rapper M-Dot, Harvard grad Ryan Leslie, hometown party-funk band Bad Rabbits, and Pittsburgh-native Wiz Khalifa. According to the story, the crowd was full of Taylor Gang supporters who chanted “We Want Wiz!” throughout the entire day. Finally, upon Young Khalifa’s arrival on stage, the crowd went bananas, spilled onto the stage, and nearly got the show shut down. Hit the skip for the visuals, courtesy of Mr. Peter Parker.
