Spiz The Prophet, a young MC from Philadelphia is as underexposed as he is underrated and to me an artist like Spiz going unnoticed for around three years whilst some of the lamest Rappers have risen to the top is tantamount to criminal. It’s a sad state of […]
M.I.A. is a great example of a Pop musician, she makes extremely catchy, easily repeatable, memorable music which although radio friendly is also brimming with a sense of credibility, style, and a hint of subversion. Her musical style perfectly blends Hip-Hop, Dance Music, Dancehall, and Bhangra with avant-garde […]
Eddie Pepitone is a hugely underrated stand-up comedian and it’s strange that this Brooklynite is rarely mentioned when people speak of contemporary stand-up comedy. This is probably because Pepitone isn’t marketed the same way other comedians are and this underexposure is both a gift and a curse. The […]
Camouflage Large Clique could have been big. Hailing from Brooklyn, the members (as far as I’m aware) were Razen Kane, Four Fif, Nine Lives, White Al, The Assassin, and 21 Gunz, at the time of their release there wasn’t much information about them, but when you heard their […]
Sharlto Copley is definitely an underrated Actor. His exaggerated and sometimes caricatured performances (such as Howling Mad Murdock in the A-Team remake) and his involvement in mediocre films (such as the Oldboy remake or Maleficent) are seen by many as either trivial or lowbrow and Copley’s acting […]
Jeffrey Wright is an extremely talented Actor but for some inexplicable reason he’s been relegated to playing innumerable supporting roles rather than being allowed to perform as a leading man. Regardless of his status within the film industry, it has to be said that for the roles he’s […]
Burnistoun was a fantastic sketch show. Centred around a fictional Scottish town, the show was a mix of the weird and the hilarious, if you’ve never seen it I can only describe it as the love-child of Chewin’ The Fat and The League Of Gentlemen. Now that the […]
Though many have tried, few have accurately translated Christmas into enjoyable and relatable entertainment. There are vast amounts of Christmas Films and Television Specials out there, but not all of them are entertaining and not all of them are relevant in our contemporary society. So if you’re tired […]
Responsible for six albums with the group Boogie Down Productions, eleven solo releases and numerous collaborative albums, “Now Hear This” is KRS One’s twelfth solo record, and with around thirty years of his life devoted to Hip-Hop, I’m glad that he’s still releasing not only entertaining, but credible […]
The 80’s were a time of opposites, on one side there was Reganomics, the Crack Epidemic, Thatcher, Yuppies, and Cold War scaremongering, and yet at the same time it was a great decade for kid’s films, computer games, and music. WarGames was a fantastically well-suited convergence of this […]
Known for his gritty, sometimes eerie, echoing sounds, Kirk Knight has been responsible for producing some of Pro Era’s best music including Joey Bada$$‘ “Big Dusty” and “Hazeus View”. As a Pro Era fan I had high hopes for Knight’s début album, but after listening to “Late Knight […]
It is extremely rare for a film with B-Movie aesthetics to be a timeless classic, it’s even more rare when a film which contains corny one-liners is important to cinema and society. John Carpenter’s They Live is just that; an oxymoronic, crude yet brilliant Science Fiction masterpiece, and […]
It’s rare these days for a Hollywood movie to be anything other than a reboot, a remake, or a merchandise tie-in blockbuster, so when something like “Nightcrawler” comes around it’s surprising to see the public not breathing a collective breath of fresh air as they descend on their […]
