DDG’s new album Blame The Chat isn’t just livestreamer rap

2 weeks ago | thefader.com | Vivian Medithi

The viewers are displeased. Over the past week, streamer-turned-rapper DDG has been on Twitch 24 hours a day putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album Blame The Chat, which seems poised to take the Michigan artist over the edge from “popular content creator who makes music” to “decent rapper with talented friends.” Today is Day 7, and Ty Dolla $ign has already laid down a catchy chorus, but the chat is buzzing, unhappy.

Review: Bossman Dlow scores easy points on tour

1 month 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.

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

1 month 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.
