Would you take a ride tonight going 95 on 55? Maybe on Lake Shore Drive? The infectious hook that J Reaper rage sings is quite catchy and enjoyable. Self described as being influenced by Lil Peep and Juice WRLD, I can definitely hear it! I’d also add Nirvana as a possible influence.  J Reaper’s Black Widow Love Bite is an emo rage core melodic rap track; the most precise way I could genre-fy it. But beyond labels, categories, and descriptions; it’s a hype song, whose melody w

Tarantino. Legendary. Universally lauded. He’s given us quite a few film classics.  And yet his latest opinions on cinema, specifically Paul Dano’s acting; and his incredibly odd list of the top films since 2000 warrant my stark criticism.  Black Hawk Down is an American war film.

Serving looks, attitude, unparalleled charisma, and cleverly catchy bars. Tay Exotic is the new female phenomenon making waves in the Chicago scene with her cutthroat bad woman mentality, video vixen presentation, and sharp lyrics that would leave any weak minded man beyond pressed.  Strong women aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but the tastes they do appeal to aren’t worried or insecure about their feelings towards a woman elevating in the music business. A principle of why I’m
