Lucy’s Coachella Recap

coachella5

Hi everyone! I know it’s been awhile since Coachella Music & Arts Festival wrapped, but I’ve been so busy in the showroom that I’ve had zero time to sit down and write about the experience. Several weeks later, I’m still riding the high from experiencing some of the world’s greatest musical talents in one of … Read more

In the most major Rusted Revolution artist feature to date, I had the ultimate privilege of styling the lovely ladies of Posso for a collaborative photoshoot and interview with Fresh Musikk.  Read on to learn more about my experience, discover the faces behind the name, and see some amazing photography… I pause before a giant … Read more

The Man with the Iron Fists

Everyone’s got their panties in a bunch over the soundtrack to The Man with the Iron Fists, and for good reason – the album, masterminded by the film’s writer-director, Wu Tang Clan frontman RZA, boasts exclusive tracks from a diverse group of artists ranging from Kanye West, to Wiz Khalifa, to The Black Keys, to … Read more

Album Review: good kid, m.A.A.d. city

kendrick-lamar-good-kid-maad-city

In my honest opinion, Kendrick Lamar is the best thing to happen to hip-hop this year, and arguably this decade.  The 25 year-old Compton native has remained relatively off the radar despite having already released a studio album and several mixtapes, but the rapper caught everyone’s attention in 2012 with a stage set at Coachella … Read more

Isaiah Toothtaker

Isaiah Toothtaker is an enigma. Social media accounts aside, I’ve had a hard time finding much on him. But I suppose the mystique is what makes him so appealing. His strong artistic personality and the products of his talent are what shine, not the details of his life. But what I do know about him … Read more

Die Antwoord’s “Baby’s on Fire”

Die Antwoord does it again with their new music video for “Baby’s on Fire.” Hilarious prayers over the dinner table, BMXs, smoking weed out of a gun, smiley-face bras, oil wrestling, sword fighting… honestly, what about this video can you NOT enjoy? Ninja and Yo-Landi Vi$$er play the role of over protective brother and little … Read more

Lucy here – I’ve go 3 hot names in the rap game on my radar that y’all best be watching out for.  One thing I love about the industry is its turnover – the rapid cycle of emerging talent.  It seems that not long after an artist establishes himself, another is there to take his … Read more

Best in Show: Coachella Music

So we arrive at the final segment of our Coachella Series – music reviews.  One drawback to Coachella is the scheduling; because the lineup was so extensive, many performers went on at the same time, meaning that we had to pick and choose who we wanted to see.  We thought we did a pretty good … Read more

Coachella Day One

It was difficult to pry ourselves out of bed on Friday morning, but thoughts of poolside lounging, mimosas, and in Lesley’s case, Egg’s Benedict was motivation enough.  After a tasty breakfast at the hotel restaurant, we hit the road and jetted towards Indio; we wanted to get to the festival grounds at around noon so … Read more

Album Review: Pink Friday…Roman Reloaded

nicki

Pink Friday…Roman Reloaded is an appropriate name for Ms. Minaj’s latest gift to her adoring fanbase as a sequel to its platinum-selling predecessor Pink Friday.  Though the rapper’s sophomore studio album from record label Young Money, Cash Money only officially released on Tuesday, I couldn’t wait to review after taking a listen. Overall, I’m impressed with … Read more
