The Jim Jones vs. Nas debate—started by Capo himself—continues.On Sunday (Aug. 17), Jones debuted his new podcast, Artist 2 Artist, where he sat down with New York rapper Fivio Foreign. At one point, Jones brought up fellow New Yorker Nas, which prompted Fivio to share his own take on the venerated Queens artist.“I’m not saying that the man is wack, he’s not a legend,” Fivio said at around the 46:30 minute mark. “I got a song with the n***a—I got a song on the album and the album got a Grammy. But I can’t sit there and say a Nas…
Take away the money, fame, and accolades, and you could argue Chief Keef has one of the most ideal setups for an artist purely focused on creativity.He made his debut at 16—first as a local hood star in Chicago, then a nationwide leader in the bubbling drill scene. And by the time he was 17, he was in the major-label system, signing what looked like, on paper, a lucrative deal with Interscope. He dropped an expensive debut that got plenty of attention, only to watch it underperform. A mix of personal issues, public snafus, label mishandling, and an aggressive press…

When you open Guitar Rig these days, what’s usually the goal, tone shaping, movement, or mood? When we open Guitar Rig in the studio, our primary goal is to craft emotions. Guitar Rig is our go-to for injecting some soul into our productions, especially when it comes to basslines that feel full, rich, and almost alive, like they’re carrying the weight of the track. We use it to add warmth or crispiness and character. For example, we’ll run a synth bass through an amp to give it that gritty, organic depth, or layer on the Tape Delay to evoke a…

The posts alleged that Q50 was riding in a vehicle that was sprayed with bullets while leaving a private event, leaving four people in critical condition. No law enforcement agency has confirmed the incident, and no official statement has been released by the…
Dystopian Waves has released Drox, a free Max for Live device for glitchy, real-time audio manipulation in Ableton Live. If you’re into creative sound mangling, this one’s worth checking out. I don’t personally use Ableton Live, so I haven’t tested Drox, but it looks like a really fun tool for anyone who enjoys glitch processing, rhythmic destruction, or adding unpredictable movement to audio. Sadly enough, that sounds exactly like me, haha. But Ableton Live never really clicked with me, so I won’t be using this one. Our writer James recently covered Spectral Wobbler from the same developer, and if you…
