Coming off from her popular hit “212″, Harlem dance-rapper Azealia Banks just dropped her first track from her forthcoming mixtape Fantastic, proving that she is more than a one hit wonder. Produced by Hudson Mohawke and Nick Hook, this impressive attitude-filled hip/hop calypso-infused tune is another example as to why we love the music so far in 2012. Enjoy.

Umphrey’s McGee returned to Chicago’s Park West this evening for their third annual UMBowl interactive concert. The marathon show – it started at 8 p.m. local time and ran until 1:22 a.m. – was geared towards the most rabid UM fans. Each of the football-themed performance’s four “quarters” were driven by fan interaction. UMBowl III featured an exciting new wrinkle, that was executed flawlessly, in which the band revisited eight classic improvisational segments during the last quarter. Setbreak Video Referencing The Chicago Theme Song Reaction For the first set, which was an “All-Request Quarter,” the fans ...

One of the reasons The Books were such a great group was that they created music that was wildly unique and experimental, yet still immediate, fun, and, for the most part, accessible. And while it may be a bit unfair to immediately compare Nick Zammuto's new self-titled project, Zammuto , to his old band, it's worth noting that he brings that same talent for creating simultaneously interesting and exciting music to this new album, also titled Zammuto . This should already be obvious, though, to anyone who's heard Zammuto 's opening track, which dropped nearly a year ago in ...

(Sub Pop/Inertia) So hip hop, rock, electronica and afro-beat all walk into a bar… Spoek Mathambo’s second album begins with muted guitar strums, clacking drums and some interesting electronic sounds and appears to have the potential to be a strange and fantastic album. Unfortunately these elements prove themselves to be incredibly poorly blended, and the result is messy and frustrating. There are a few redeeming moments. Let Them Talk, for example, is an excellent guitar-driven track that sou ...
