Review: Bossman Dlow scores easy points on tour

2 weeks ago | thefader.com | Vivian Medithi

These moments were great, and honestly left me wishing he would press the obvious buttons a little bit more. Nobody expects a no-holds-barred performance at a mid-size tour stop, but Dlow’s highs are so high it seems obvious he can do more to convince people to shell out for the $65 hoodies and $100 meet and greet tickets without busting his ass.
Justin Bieber’s mumble-rap snippets make sense, actually

Rob49 isn’t too bewildered to steal your girl on “WTHELLY”

3 weeks ago | thefader.com | Vivian Medithi

Rap Blog is a weekly showcase of a standout rap song. If Rob49 ever gets bored of rapping his ass off, he could always become a caffeinated beverage spokesman, or perhaps license his voice and bless alarm clocks worldwide. New Orleans’s biggest star since Lil Wayne has the same instinctive approach as his forebear, but where Wayne’s bars tumbled forward like circus acrobats, Rob’s lines impact as if shot from a cannon.

NowThe Switch 1 still has some juice left in the tank. Nintendo just held a Nintendo Direct. No, not the Switch 2 Direct you've been waiting for, but another one. In what will potentially be the last Switch 1-focused Direct livestream, Nintendo made a bundle of announcements, some of which weren't even …

2hollis has “Style.” Who needs substance?

1 month ago | thefader.com | Vivian Medithi

Cribbing heavily from the swag era, "Style" is among 2hollis's better ones, though it does feel a bit like eating way too many McDonald's fries. Basically, he sounds like Tyga feat. Justin Bieber over an instrumental that approximates Dylan Brady covering "The Motto" by Drake, which may seem awesome or disgusting depending on how much mileage you can get out of Impact font memes and/or 2013-era DJ Mustard tapes.
