About Edward Alexander

Hey, Edward here! You know those moments when you listen to a song and you have to rewind what you just heard and go look the lyrics up because you really connected with something? Those are the moments I live for and what drive my content creation. Music is full of those moments and some of my favorite artists are Kendrick, Vince Staples, Frank Ocean, Earl Sweatshirt, D’Angelo, and Vampire Weekend. I live in the San Fernando Valley in LA and am passionate about exploring and diving into those “magical” music moments.

June Spotlight: Caleb Giles’ Under the Shade

August 16, 2019 - Created by Edward Alexander

caleb giles album review

Our Essential & Unheard project for July is Caleb Giles’ third solo album, Under the Shade. It is imbued with the energy of summer—a stand-in for the season where white t-shirts become the de facto wardrobe choice, black jeans are only worn by the brave, and the heat sauntering off walls and emanating up out of asphalt is the most immediate feeling. The sun is the antagonist, the album’s name reflecting the peace found in separation from that oppressive heat that hangs longer and heavier in the summer months.

March Spotlight: Little Simz’s Grey Area

little simz grey area

GREY Area is an artist mostly finding her way through something not quite palpable, but still omnipresent. She raps painfully aware of the indefinable future, and the confusion of your mid-20s, but she does so in a way that casts brighter shades of color than any rapper this year has been able to evoke.

January 31, 2019 - Created by Edward Alexander

Best Songs of 2018: Uzi’s Defiantly Long “New Patek” (that’s it that’s the list)

December 8, 2018 - Created by Edward Alexander

Year end lists are subjective garbage so we let Edward Alexander write a list about his favorite song of the year. When was the last time you heard a 6-minute rap single? In the new regime of hip-hop a premium is placed on concision. Hooks, verses, songs, singles, and albums seem to have collectively shrunk […]
