XXL Freshmen 2014 announced; includes Kevin Gates, Chance the Rapper and more Posted: 05 May 2014 03:42 PM PDT The hip-hop magazine announces its rappers to watch on BET’s 106 & Park. XXL headed to BET to announce this year’s freshman class, dubbed “The Dirty Dozen.” Chicago is repped heavily with Chance the Rapper, Lil Durk, Save Money’s Vic Mensa and Free Crack street spitter Lil Bibby on the list. The list is heavy with guys that sing more than rap (Rich Homie Quan, August Alsina and Ty Dolla $ign), which makes sense in a rap scene dominated by the likes of Drake and Future. TDE’s Isaiah Rashad and newcomers Troy Ave, Jon Connor and fan-voted Jarren Benton round out the list. 2013′s Freshmen list included Ab-Soul, Schoolboy Q, Angel Haze and Chief Keef, among others. Past classes have tabbed Kendrick Lamar, Future, YG and Danny Brown, but XXL has had their share of busts (Charles Hamilton, anyone?). As expected, there is a bit of crossover with FACT’s list of rappers to watch in 2014, with Gates appearing on last year’s Hip-Hop for Dummies list.

Nightmares on Wax, Feelin’ Good Posted: 20 Sep 2013 06:23 AM PDT Staying admirably true to its title Leeds lad and Warp veteran George Evelyn is possibly best known for the sumptuous Balearic favorite “Nights Interlude”/”Les Nuits.” This well-loved cosmic jam began as the Quincy Jones-sampling opener to his 1991 debut A Word of Science and, rerecorded and reworked, then developed over the next two albums into a chill-compilation regular and a hardy perennial of the discerning beach-bar DJ’s set. The tune’s evolution neatly encapsulates Evelyn’s own musical journey from bedroom scratch-and-sampler to fêted trip hop DJ to — with collaborator since 1995 Robin Taylor-Firth — maestro of his own live band, and beyond.
