The newest signee from Mello Music Group, Red Pill's debut full length album is finally here. The Detroit native has been described as "unflinchingly grim" and "hilariously self-deprecating." The new album, Look What This World Did To Us, is an introspective journey, revealing intimate details through unabashed honesty and satirical absurdity. Self-analysis and loathing may come through initially, but what truly impresses about Red Pill is the talent and control of a veteran rhymer. Having found success in his group Ugly Heroes with Apollo Brown and Verbal Kent, Red Pill's new album is a project that strives to establish his individuality as an artist. Red Pill's style garners comparisons that run the gamut in both style and medium, from Atmosphere to Charles Bukowski. P

Gimpin' Wheelchair Sports Camp Rolls Out New Track By Kyle Eustice In light of the recent murder of Walter Scott at the hands of a white South Carolina police officer, it's safe to say (again), we live in a sick society. People judge, berate, condemn and consistently hurt other people, but don't judge a book by its cover - especially when meeting Kalyn Heffernan of Wheelchair Sports Camp. She may be small and confined to a wheelchair, but her personality is larger than life. Born with osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle born disease), she's suffered over 100 fractures since she was 9 months old, but nothing has kept her down for long. As the mastermind behind Wheelchair Sports Camp, the Denver-based rapper is on the verge of releasing her first full-length album, produced by th

Inside the mind of William Cooper are visions that no man should behold. Although the Black Market Militia representative has experienced both the good and the bad, it's the latter that explains why his "conscious is constantly at war with the darkness..." Joined by Army of the Pharoah's, Reef The Lost Cauze, and legendary Onyx frontman, Sticky Fingaz, "True-N-Livin' Nightmares" gives us three tales of terror: Coop with his metaphorical battles with vampires, devils, demons, and zombies; Reef who fights a holy war in the mental; and Sticky's lucid mind trip of police evasion and misogyny. Production is supplied by BP, who crafts an ominous head banger that keeps the track in a constant state of suspense. "True-N-Livin' Nightmares" is the first leak taken from Cooper's sophomore LP

In the Beginning Curator Sean Corcoran Talks Hip-Hop Revolution By Kyle Eustice Photo historian Sean Corcoran has been in love with photographs as long as he can remember. As Curator of Prints and Photographs at the Museum of the City of New York, Corcoran has cultivated his passion into a reputable career. Originally from New York's Finger Lakes Region, Kodak was a big part of the economy at the time so he was captivated by photography at a very young age. After graduate school, he secured a job in the curatorial department at the George Eastman House in Rochester. He worked there for seven fruitful years, which allowed him to not only research and study the history of photography, but also afforded him the opportunity to learn the role of a curator. He began as a junior in the depar

There's a segment of Hip-Hop where lyricism still reigns supreme. Whether you're into the double time styles like Jaz-O and Twista, or you follow artists like Aesop Rock, the ability for an artist to tell a unique story is an integral yet often undermined part of the art form. After recently releasing "No1," the Jersey based wordsmith, Rich Quick, expands upon his catalog as he continues his climb towards success with, "On My Shoulderz." The second single from The Everywhere Man finds Quick dropping bars and hooks over STANKFOOT's keys and dirty snares. Lyrically, he can't be touched; Quick has created his own sense of style that is different enough for others to take notice. Simply put, his rhymes make rapping seem effortless. Quick can navigate his way through any style of producti

The Grateful Vursatyl the Great The RAPstation Interview By Kyle Eustice Hailing from the rainy Northwest city of Portland, Oregon, Vursatyl the Great is a talented emcee you've probably heard, but never heard of. As one-third of the critically acclaimed hip-hop group, Lifesavas, Vursatyl is a seasoned vet. Whether it's his work with Blackalicious, Lifesavas or as a solo artist, he always delivers a highly polished sound. Signed to Quannum Projects (established in 1991 by DJ Shadow, Blackalicious, Lyrics Born, and Lateef the Truthspeaker, among others), Lifesavas dropped their first album, Spirit in Stone, in 2003 and they followed it up with 2007's Gutterfly. For the first time, however, Vursatyl just got a taste of what it's like to be a solo artist after
