  We've had a steady run of rap related Meet pieces, which for me, is a rarity. We listen to hip-hop all day every day so I'd much rather change it up and show y'all something new.See more...

  So much of what I write and focus on is about either what's happening now, what is is going to happen in the future, and, of course, boobs. Sure we may talk about the 90's frequently too, but rarely do we go back to the classic classics.See more...

  When I do the research for these Meets (by "research" mean watching sports on mute and perusing Youtube for new music) I am usually pretty open to anything. Wherever Youtube takes me is find by me so long as I find something dope.See more...

  Last year Nathan started #NoRapHour listening sessions, and it was pretty fucking awesome; it was the closest thing I've ever felt on the interwebs to hanging out with a homie and just sharing music for music's sake. See more...
