Sometimes there is a need to just vibe out. This EP ‘Thank You BASED GOD! (Transcendence)’ by Victor Rose is a small collection of what seems to be the reverberation of personal thoughts creased between the threads of mentally soothing beats. Poetic attraction? Maybe. We will let you hear it for yourself.
But tell Victor Rose #WeSeeYou

What up Milwaukee Mondays!
For those of you who don’t know, “Milwaukee Mondays” are a result of a partnership between the Milwaukee Bucks and 88Nine Radio Milwaukee. In this six-week series, our Monday home games will feature local musicians performing at halftime, local designers creating one-of-a-kind “Milwaukee Originals” gear and even local food that will be presented throughout the game (Free Palermo's anyone?).
New Age Narcissism, NAN was the first music collective to perform and bring their unique and vibrant energy to the Bradley Center. In their about six-minute set, the collective showcased the skills of the group while performing a mash up of some favorites like 'Kinfolk,’ ‘Bango’ and ‘This Is Our Year.’
We were geeked and in a room full of potential new fans, they killed it.
However, while we loved seeing our local artist front and center on stage, we did receive feedback that there could have been improvements (on the Bucks end) for better sound quality and some fans even mentioned giving the artist more time to do what they do best.
We’re just excited to see the rest of what Milwaukee Mondays has to offer.
But we will say that NAN’s energy definitely could have been the main reason the Bucks won 109 to 88. Take that to the head. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bango!

Walking into a warm welcoming spot that feels uncommon from the norm, "Higher Learning that's the team" is being yelled by multiple voices from on stage. Which makes me think, is Hip-Hop back in a pure form on this October night?
Honestly I can say their was only one light that shined from a far in this blue lit room. With such brilliant name, a full beautiful figure and a smile to match the humbleness, that shining light belongs to Grey Genius.
A female MC that also displays lovely vocals, from the city of Milwaukee. Who is also a Marquette graduate I must add. Although she shared the stage with her Higher Learning team, she stands out as Lauryn Hill did to the Fugees. That's right, Lauryn Hill, with all due of respect though. After presenting her brand new HD video to the believers (fans) that attended Lux Lounge on MLK Blvd, proof was in every spoon of the pudding. Her stage presence was un-de-ni-ab-le!!!!
If you’re a true life fan of Hip-Hop, she just may soon be in your digital tape deck. One thing that stood out most to me was how mature her sound is. Nowadays in an era when behavior isn't much of a factor, she's bound to leave a stamp of maturity on the game. I can definitely tell that she's influenced by the recent generations of music, which will lead her to being an original figure from her hometown. I'm not sure if the city will understand how necessary her maturity is needed, but I guess it's up to her and her Higher Learning team to justify that.
From the soul is where her talents are possessed, so from the soul we shall hunger for what's next to come. Till then listen to 'Love Is...' and let us know what you think.
