Best of 2018: Top 10 Special Releases

December 28, 2018July 5, 2020 ~ Roberto Johnson ~ Leave a comment

One of music's most transcendent qualities is its timelessness, its ability to exist outside of the parameters of minutes and hours, days and nights, years and decades. It can be as beautiful 50 years from now as it was yesterday. Equally, it can take on a completely new life of its own when absorbed in … Continue reading Best of 2018: Top 10 Special Releases

Best of 2018: Top 10 EPs

December 27, 2018July 5, 2020 ~ Roberto Johnson ~ Leave a comment

Some of my favorite music this year came in the form of EPs, which for the sake of time, I guess you could consider very efficient. Nevertheless, this year's best short albums gave us some outstanding debuts from new faces, notable sidesteps from well-established veterans and so much more. Here are 10 of my favorite … Continue reading Best of 2018: Top 10 EPs

December 24, 2018July 5, 2020 ~ Matthew Sandoval ~ Leave a comment

In 2018, I had the pleasure to come on board at Riffs and Rhymes and give my opinion about multiple artists and styles of music. With that being said, 2018 was such a great year for music! The amount of music that was covered this year was very constant and diverse. No matter what week … Continue reading Best of 2018: Matthew’s Top 10 Albums

Best of 2018: Roberto’s Top 10 Albums

December 21, 2018July 5, 2020 ~ Roberto Johnson ~ 1 Comment

By this point, I suppose 2018 hardly needs an introduction. There's a lot going on outside and today's music reflects that, as art always tends to do. If there's one positive thing we can all agree on is that there is truly an infinite amount of great music being released into the world on a … Continue reading Best of 2018: Roberto’s Top 10 Albums

Tash Sultana – Flow State

December 20, 2018July 27, 2020 ~ Ellie Burleson ~ Leave a comment

I’ll never forget the first time I heard a song by Tash Sultana. I was scrolling through Instagram and one of my friends posted a video he’d made using Sultana’s song “Notion” in the background. Although I had never heard of this artist, it all sounded somewhat familiar to me. I don’t know what you … Continue reading Tash Sultana – Flow State

Best of 2018: Potential Classic Rap Albums

December 19, 2018July 5, 2020 ~ tajthewriter ~ Leave a comment

What defines a classic record? For a lot of people, it varies.

Boston Manor – Welcome to the Neighbourhood

Best of 2018: Tyler’s Top 10 Albums

December 17, 2018July 5, 2020 ~ tajthewriter ~ Leave a comment

To put it plainly, 2018 was a lot. Parts of my self and sanity were tested because life came around so fast and I didn’t know how to cope in healthy ways. I finished my last semester of undergrad and graduated, got into the best relationship of my life, moved to a new city, and … Continue reading Best of 2018: Tyler’s Top 10 Albums
