“Lay Me Down” by Roo and The Howl feels like rain. Some songs are crafted for sunny days; others meld with melancholy mists. Bekah’s eerie soprano activates hidden wistful desires within me. I find myself mourning a loss I didn’t know existed. The deliberate melody of “Lay Me Down” mimics the recurring contemplations of loneliness. A […]
The culture in Denver is so thick, I don’t think a knife could slice through it. January 10th’s Rap-A-Thon was a hearty representation of the thriving MileHI Music scene. The Savoy was a delightful concoction of versatile flavor. A rather saucy crowd displayed the Denver fashion scene with much grace & dapper. Local brands […]
I know you’ve become accustomed to the usual. Rap music these days can be so predictable. But I hope you’re not too attached to your preconceived notions. If so your comfortability is about to be slaughtered. Ces Cru has no interest in catering to the conservative. There is nothing mainstream about Ubiquitous and Godemis yet […]
I must admit I was a bit anxious. I mean the man has established himself as a heavyweight. One the founding father’s of all that is Strange.

There is an inescapable smile that invades my face when I see Champ and Hammer, the members of T.A.U. (Talent Among Us). I have a feeling I’m not the only one they effect that way. Something about these guys is so radiant and contagious. When they’re in a room it fills with positive energy. Obviously […]
You can always recognize passionate people. Particularly when you have the opportunity to witness them working within their passion. They are the individuals others are magnetically drawn to. They illuminate rooms with their energy. They walk around with a purpose and a confidence, and everyone wonders; how can I get that? They are the ones […]
I don’t really support the hype of Hallmark holiday’s. I think love should be spontaneous, perpetual, and unique. Not a box of chocolates and a teddy bear once a year. What is the significance of February 14th if you dont cherish your love the other 364 days? Don’t confuse me with a love basher though; if your using […]
