Dark Times on the Rise by Jhantu Randall

It would be an understatement to say that the acts of division have been blatantly increasing and the people are falling right in line with it. Through the media’s reporting, we’re being told there’s an invasion just beyond the southern border, an invasion of Central Americans who are fleeing unspeakable violence in their home lands because at this point, their only choices in life appear to be death and death. Either hunted down and murdered by cartels if they refuse to join or starved to death as they suffered a perilous journey only to be met with a fence and armed soldiers blocking them from reaching a port of entry. Going to a port of entry to seek asylum is in fact a legal way of immigrating, but again we have been so divided on this issue, I fear nothing will ever be done to actually fix it unless it includes some sort of horrific removal of an entire group of people just to feed our country’s endless lust for kicking the other when they're already down and desperate!

Time To Get Zooited by Jhantu Randall

Throughout the past couple years almost every show, every stage and every event, I’ve come to see Zooited Gang grace the stage and solidify their name. From performing in venues that they hosted to just seeing them from the perspective as a fan, I can’t stress enough that they bring something different to the scene.

With their set playlist I’ve witnessed them all grab the mic and set the place ablaze! Each performance has raised the bar for the other acts, because not only does Zooited Gang know who they are as a collective, they know who they are as individual artists. Always raising the energy of the crowd like a conductor, they know they're brand lies in the business that they run. Whether its merchandise, recording or other types of production, when they say they live hip hop, they don’t need to speak it their actions do all the necessary talking.

Now we’ve come to the point where even though they move as one, each member of the group appears to be pursuing solo ventures as w…

Jhantu Randall reviews "Beyond Clouds" album by IMAGINE

With a name like Imagine and a title of “Beyond Clouds,” I have to admit that my interest was definitely peaked but I really wasn't sure what to expect. This song could have been either transcendent or colluded, distorted and disconnected. With that being said, sonically, the production was very pleasing, but lyrically, I was bracing myself. After the initial shock of Imagine’s vocal tone, I began to fall into the words he was speaking and the feeling he was reflecting upon.

Starting with a sound that is a mixture of horns and drum patterns that leave you feeling vibrant, its the vocals of the artist himself who makes the biggest first impression. It may take a few listens to get used to his sound but once you do, you’ll really appreciate the attention to detail, especially in the aspects of wordplay and flow. A song to zone out to in a session, its arrangement has you running through your mind, contemplating random thoughts and connecting with the tale Imagination is weaving. Im…
