Pain.
They got me y’all. My Twitter account @OGNICKMARSH has been suspended. I can’t believe it. However, I should not be surprised at all. I basically tweeted that I was going to assassinate Mitch McConnell. I don’t know why the fuck I thought that was a good idea. I had that account for 9 years and…

My 25 Favorite Extended Plays of 2020
Every year I typically just post a list of my five favorite albums to Twitter, but I wanted to make sure I highlighted these EPs because they make up a large portion of the best music I’ve heard this year. I’ve seen some artists and label-heads talking about how ranked music lists are disrespectful or…

Album Review | Griff/Scorcese – Midnight Express
This album was released on September 24th this year. Griff/Scorcese is a duo comprised of producer Jason Griff & MC Scorcese. I’m not that familiar with Jason Griff, but I have heard some beats that he’s made for Zilla Rocca and other members of the Wrecking Crew. I first became familiar with Scorcese when I…

Album Review | Unsung – Sup Bub
This album was released on September 4th this year. Unsung is an artist with whom I was only slightly familiar before checking out this project. Unless I’m forgetting something, my first introduction to him was his feature on iAlive‘s I’ll Wait Forever album from earlier in the year. I enjoyed his performance there quite a…

Album Review | Darko the Super – There’s a Horse in the Hospital
This album was released on November 6th this year. This is the third album that I’ve covered from Darko the Super in 2020. The first project I ever heard from him was The Devil Defeated with Steel Tipped Dove. I liked that album a lot, but I thought the following record, Nevermind, was even better.…

Album Review | The Notorious B.I.G. – Ready to Die
People have been requesting a Biggie Marathon pretty much ever since I first started doing them in 2015. I waited until I reached 500 followers on Twitter to do my 2Pac Marathon, so I figured it’d make sense to do this after reaching 1000 followers. I flew past that milestone a couple weeks ago, but…

PREMIERE | Cloud Envy – 629 Prophet
Here’s the latest single from Cloud Envy, 629 Prophet, featuring a verse from Auhsoj Rekcut and production from False Ego. Last year I reviewed an album entitled Groovy Cat by Cloud Envy, and quickly realized that him and I are actually from the same area, and we even went to elementary school together. You may…

Album Review | Siul Hughes – HUEMAN
This album was released on September 15th this year. I’m personally completely unfamiliar with Siul Hughes. The reason I’m checking this out is because it was released by Fake Four Inc., which is one of my preferred independent record labels. I checked out one song from this album before listening, and I really loved it,…

Album Review | Duncecap – Resting Dunce Face
This album was released on October 2nd this year. Duncecap is a rapper from New York whose work I was first exposed to last year when one of his music videos was uploaded to Backwoodz Hip Hop’s YouTube channel. I loved the video, but I wasn’t really crazy about the song itself. I hadn’t really…

EP Review | Defcee & Nick Arcade – ceenick
This extended play was released on December 4th this year. I first heard of Defcee last year when he released his album Lacuna. It came out just at the very end of 2019, so I unfortunately didn’t get around to listening to it until much later, but I highly recommend it. It’s a very beautifully…

Album Review | RZA – Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
This album was released on December 16th in 1999. It’s the soundtrack for a film of the same name, which starred Forest Whitaker. It originally released in May of 1999. I’m not gonna watch it. I’ve heard that it’s very good, but it looks fucking stupid. I don’t like watching movies in the first place,…

EP Review | titmouse – The Age of Blinding Light
This extended play was released on September 4th this year. I haven’t heard that much of titmouse’s music aside from a few singles here and there. This was my first time listening to a full project from her. I figured since it’s pretty short it’d be an easy introduction to her work. Maybe not a…
