  • Musicians I’m Diggin’: PaoPao

    Though I’ve been more centered in electronica when expounding on artists I’m loving in these mini written, that doesn’t mean I ignore other realms of music; I ventured with my love for the music of Young Miko last year, and now, I’m here to talk about PaoPao, another reggaeton artist who is finding her place…

  • A Reintroduction.

    Allow me to reintroduce myself; my name is KEVIN–K to the E V—I still write bars down all week–N’ I’m still here for more words all year long. Alright, I’ll admit that line was corny, but I like having some fun; it’s why I try to keep some personality when writing my reviews, but as…

  • The Weekly Coo’s Top 25 Albums of 2023

    It’s past that time of year when publications feel like December is a month filled with nothingness, and end-of-year lists appear like Christmas ornaments at your local store in August. But sometimes gems appear, and they round out what made 2023 a powerful and wonderful year for music. This year didn’t see that much, but…

  • Cookin Some Soul For Xmas

    I was once one with the people of Whoville, then I became a slight Grinch, but as I’ve become a modestly more cynical adult, I share my indifferences; however, the music reigns supreme in my head—from the various pop megahits to the enormous array of orchestral piano ballads and jazz wonders that have kept the…

  • Musicians I’m Diggin’: Yotto

    This year has been slightly stagnant with my write-ups about artists I’m discovering and vibing with consistently. I remember making a decree saying I would try to write more frequently about them, and though that is true comparatively, I feel like I’ve done almost enough to warrant what I said so far this year; however,…

  • Musicians I’m Diggin’: Elkka

    IT’S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I SPENT THE TIME TO TALK ABOUT AN ARTIST FLOODING MY EARS WITH ENERGY AND I’M BACK TO GUSH ABOUT ANOTHER ARTIST, UK DJ Elkka.  It wasn’t long ago when I first discovered Elkka. It was via a brand new and her first DJ-Kicks, a series of mixed albums by…

  • Mid-Year List: Top 20 Albums of 2023 So Far

    20. Aly & AJ – With Love From Aly & AJ’s return to music hit a momentous high on their excellent follow-up to some remarkable EPs: a touch of the beat gets you up on your feet gets you out and then into the sun, and that consistency shined through and through. It keeps us…

  • Musicians I’m Diggin’: Young Miko

    Welcome back. It’s been a while since I spent the time to talk about an artist flooding my ears with vigor, and I’m back to gush about another artist, Young Miko.  A Rapper/Reggaeton artist from Puerto Rico, Young Miko’s making waves with her vicious flows, creative lyricism, and boastful Latin trap beats. My first exposure…

  • Down Memory Lane: Acid Rap 10 Years Later

    During my second semester at Pace University, I was introduced to Chance the Rapper when my friend played me the music video of “Juice.” It was playful and beautifully outlandish, something unlike the seriousness of non-commercial Hip-Hop, where it’s not too comical for parody, as Chance let it all breathe, setting up what would be…

  • Musicians I’m Diggin’: 10SecondBeats

    Man, it’s been a while since I’ve last spoken about Electronic artists that have opened doors to distinct sounds that captivate the very fiber of my ear drums. So what better way to return than to talk about a musician/producer. I had the pleasure of having various conversations while witnessing his growth through the varying…
