Earlier this year, the New York rapper and former Das Racist rapper Heems came back with the Lapgan-produced Lafandar, his first new album in a very long time. Heems won’t be taking another long break between albums; he’s already coming back next month with the new Veena LP. We’ve already posted its lead single, the […]
Dale Crover – “I Quit” (Feat. Kim Thayil)
Melvins drummer Dale Crover and Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil are two guys who were there for the very beginning of the Seattle underground-music scene that came to be known as grunge.
