02.09.11[Video + MP3] Cities Aviv – Float OnMemphis today has its fair share of people grinding away at what we would call 'traditional hip-hop' -- and if you're familiar with the city's Oscar-winning exploits, you'd see this as an opposing force to what the city is best known for creating.

12.18.08Loudersoft’s Picks: The Top Songs of 2008Last year, I procrastinated heavily.

I suddenly felt small. So deadlines for the "best of 2007" rolled around, and I was in a tailspin, dogged by ...
