If you’re a fan, you know that we’ve heard more crickets over the past few years than we have new music, but with so much going on in … His album Old is still a project that I will revisit regularly, but my favorite memory was seeing him live in 2014 at the Pitchfork Music Festival here in Chicago which still stands as one of the most entertaining, energized performances I’ve ever experienced with my own two eyes. Danny was one of the first people I ever experienced (and actually appreciated) try something outrageous as far as vocals are concerned, and with his flows and lyricism shining brightly alongside these captivating styles, I was entranced from the very first time I tapped in. Well, one of the most infamous OGs in the game is Danny Brown, a Michigan spitter who needs no introduction at all, but I’ll give him one anyways. I mean, I’m not ashamed to call myself a bit of a misfit because although certain traits of mine might not fit the mold, others definitely do, and if I had a penny for every time someone came up to me and said something along the lines of “Danny, you really don’t look like someone who would be into the type of music that you …Ĭertain emcees have grinded for many years, putting blood, sweat, and tears into their music to get to the position they’re in today, and it seems like the current generation just doesn’t have the patience or a similar work ethic to put in the time and dedication to gain notoriety. That also means that misfits no longer have to hide or be afraid of their true identity, because there once was a time when these outcasts felt excluded due to their minimal exposure to others like them, The internet allows these individuals to come together and rise up, embracing who they are and being proud of this label, not ashamed of it as they once were.

While I still need to listen to the first episode of the show considering the premise is overly intriguing to me, the co-hosts of the program Abbas Muntaqim and Delency Parham teamed up with award-winning documentarian and audio engineer Maya Cueva to give Oaklanders a platform to share their history as they have experienced it. This broadcast, although new to the podcasting community, details the history of California’s Oakland neighborhood as it has progressed over nearly 100 years through the people whose families have resided there for generations. Collaborative albums have also existed for a while, but one thing I don’t think I’ve ever experienced is a podcast putting together a shared album, but that has now changed thanks to Tales of the Town.

The newly designed Air Force 1 silhouette is straightforward.

It even collaborated with Nike's Jordan Brand to develop the Aerospace 720 footwear edition, as well as a complementary apparel collection.
