Music Review: I Feel Like Dog

KDVS DJ Dogman and the Hillbillies gives us their take on Marinera's 2019 album 'I Feel Like Dog'

It's just dudes being dudes – a tremulous-voiced singer backed up by fretted instruments and a drum kit. And these dudes rock! They indie rock.

Top 42 Albums: Eelaaf Shah

I just want to preface this by saying that favorite does not equal best (which I’m pretty sure is made abundantly clear by the fact that I have Taylor Swift up here). The reason I’ve picked a lot of these isn’t because they’re...

G. Garçon: An Introduction

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing hip hop artist, G. Garçon about his origins, creative process, and his new album “25” dropping September 30th 2019. 

The stage name hails from France; the rapper from Inglewood. The G stands for Geezus, a previous alias, that was later expanded on as...
