D.C. rapper Wale proves
that he is aware of the potential pitfalls an underground MC faces in the
game. Like his 2009 album, “Attention Deficit,” Wale uses his love
for the hit 90s sitcom, “Seinfeld” as inspiration. Wale cleverly uses
excerpts from the popular sitcom without being too gimmicky. Even though
you will crack a smile while listening to Wale’s latest work, “More About
Nothing” does show Wale emerging from the “cool guy” to a thinker.
Besides the hit songs on the mixtape, the thing that stood out to me was his
usage of lesser known DJs...
There are two types of people:
those who love Nathan Williams and the music he makes under the moniker Wavves,
and those who hate his guts. The past has not been too kind to the San Diego
native, but it seems the negative vibes have only encouraged his growth as a
musician. Now a solid three-piece band, Wavves has been joined by former Jay
Reatard band members Billy Hayes and Stephen Pope. The sound of the band has
changed immensely from Williams' days recording ultra-fuzzed-out songs in his
bedroom...
