Sharp, Comical and Expressive. I’ve always been keen on Asap Ferg’s music as a creative force that hasn’t reached it’s height yet. The third track off of his most recent album “ALWAYS STRIVE AND PROSPER” is evidence of that. With a 90’s Dance composition and an intro similar to Alicia Meyer’s “I want to Thank […]
Read More INTROSPECTIVE: Asap Ferg’s “Strive”(ft. Missy Elliott)This Track takes you down a rabbit hole of synth and depth with straining vocals creating an angsty yet, beautiful composition.

The production as always is adventurous, layered and enjoyable. His lyrics bring conviction and leverage to the EP with ‘Pharma Karma’- a soulful yet angsty call to question the ethics behind the Pharmacy Industry. While […]
Read More Sam Sparro’s “Quantum Physical 3: Conspiracy”Last week, I decided to play Kanye’s YEEZUS album. It was haunting, irritable, fearless and strikingly creative. But it left me wanting, and I think that’s a great thing. I am a more than mild fan of Mr. Yeezy. I fell IN LOVE with “College Dropout” and since then, my heart and mind has always had a […]
