Quibi’s The Stranger is another decent “web series” that’s been neglected by the public, in part because of the failed platform it appears on, but also because of the Netflix series bearing the same name. Quibi’s The Stranger stars Maika Monroe as Clare, a budding writer and “Orbit” […]
In July 1991, almost two years after the excellent first Bill and Ted movie, the loveable-yet-cool, air-guitar-playing duo returned in the sequel Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey. Instead of merely time travelling, the follow-up film had the Wyld Stallyns navigating the afterlife and Bogus Journey also had something […]
Before Beavis & Butthead, Wayne & Garth, Bud & Doyle, Romy & Michele, and Jay & Silent Bob, there was Bill & Ted, a pair of teenage underachievers with Californian surfer-slash-stoner accents. The duo aimlessly (and innocently) navigated life whilst obsessing over heavy metal music. Bill and Ted […]
Da Hillfiguz (also known as “Hillfiguz” or “Hillfiguzes”) was a Hip-Hop group from Brownsville, Brooklyn, New York. It’s members were Dogface, Danga, and T-Hall with T-Hall serving as producer and Danga & Dogface rapping. Hillfiguz were yet another Hip-Hop group who had the potential to be golden era […]

Spike Lee’s war drama Da 5 Bloods is released on Netflix today and it’s a decent watch and a worthy replacement for a Friday cinema premiere. As the Netflix description reads: “Four African American veterans return to Vietnam decades after the war to find their squad leader’s remains […]
Two members of New Jersey rap-trio Double XX Posse returned three years after their debut album Put Ya Boots On with their follow-up LP Ruff, Rugged & Raw. With a shortened name, members Sugar Ray and B.K. came back strong; Double X’s second album was just as potent […]

Brooklyn rapper Labba dropped his third album a couple of weeks back and it went without any fanfare despite it being a highly enjoyable listen. The LP is called The 9 and like the title suggests, it contains nine raw, hard-as-concrete joints by the often overlooked MC, whose […]
Bishop Nehru’s latest album titled Nehruvia: My Disregarded Thoughts is released today and it’s a mixed bag. With Nehru reportedly saying “I wanted to make a concept record about what it takes to free yourself from mental enslavement”, this LP sounded like an interesting idea. Upon hearing the […]
