This is our 3rd review so far. Hopefully, you’re following along with us. The first was Goldlink and the second was Mack Wilds. This review is Nick Grant, a rapper from South Carolina. This album dropped in January, but we had to revisit it per AJ’s request. Let’s jump into it.
Hi! We’re back again with another roundtable review. We’ll be doing these often, so I hope you’re following. Last time, we did Goldlink-At What Cost. The album we’re reviewing this time is AfterHours by Mack Wilds.
What keeps me sharp is surrounding myself with a group of like-minded, yet diverse individuals. The staff of The Kids Wear Crowns all have different tastes although we share the general overarching interests. This helps to bounce around ideas and different viewpoints. I think it also provides you, the reader, with opportunities to be hipped … Continue reading The Listening Club: Goldlink – At What Cost [Review]
The iconic Internet Series has had a lion-share of great episodes. Which are the best of the best?
I wanted to make a series to share some playlists with y’all. For those that don’t know, I used to do radio, both Sports talk as well as traditional talk shows. I used to love putting together playlists for my show, whether they had a common theme or I just took people back in time a little bit.
Back in 2010 the mixtape to change all college mixtapes was released. It was an epic record that stole the hearts of millions. UAB Productions consists of rappers Richie NoDoze (then went by ATL), Baron Amato (then went by El Beezy), Chris Fogg (then known as Chris Nasty) and features appearances from Kylla Cam, C-Teezy … Continue reading UAB Productions Releases Low Ceilings Vol. 2, 7th Anniversary Edition

That get your attention? No? Oh. Okay. Cool. Welcome to my brand new series, I don’t have a title for it because I’m not creative. It’ll discuss current or past moments that didn’t get the looks, attention or fame they really deserve. Sorta. I think. We’ll see.
I’m Robert Raimon Roy As in that boy from the cul-de-sac of Provost Court: Still Jacksonville, Florida It’s alright if you haven’t quite heard of Rob Roy. He’s not a household name by any means and isn’t one of the most established artists in the underground realm. His style is jittery, spastic and at times … Continue reading Rob Roy is “Johnny” on the Spot with New EP
A wormhole is defined as “a hypothetical connection between widely separated regions of space-time”. Pretty much meaning how the f*^& did I end up on Mexican Fireworks Porn (seriously hope this isn’t a real niche) when all I was doing was researching Mimosa recipes? Sorry guys, unfortunately, this isn’t a post about strange porn findings. … Continue reading Wormhole Gems
In the past, I’ve gathered the best non-rap songs and put them on a playlist. It would be a disservice to do that for 2015. This was an amazing year for music. So no matter which genres you like, you should be able to find something on this playlist you missed. You can also check … Continue reading Best of 2015 Playlist

Well they’re back with the follow up to that great album. … Continue reading Tiron & Ayomari – The Great New Wonderful EP

It’s been a long time since that Can I Borrow A Dollar? mixtape but Kembe is better than ever. Honestly, I thought he would blow before now but let’s hope this mixtape is the one that does it. His single featuring Danny Brown is below, along with a video for “Loosie”
Dom Kennedy by Dom Kennedy is almost as unintentionally funny as that clothing line Marc Jacobs by Mar Jacobs (A Marc Jacobs Production). Either way, get ready to fire your grills you and make sure you have enough red solo cups for the whole party. This album is dropping June 2nd. Summer has officially began.
