2013’s Best: Nova’s Top Albums

I’m really sorry that I’ve neglected you this year, hip-hop.  New waves of UK dance pop, PBR’n’B, and the budding chill-trap movement have distracted me from my deep roots with you.  Songs by French Montana and 2 Chainz were shrug-while-fist-twisting worthy when I was at the club, but it made me cringe when I realized […]

The Friday Five 6/14/13

I have been running around this whole week singing to myself, “Oh-oh, luxury.  Chitty-ching-ching could buy anything.  Cop that oh-ohhhh!”  I promise that new “Collard Greens” joint from Schoolboy Q and Kendrick Lamar is as tasty to your ears as its title suggests.   But besides that, we’ve got some other feel good tracks that […]
