If you receive an email from maxbell413@gmail.com offering you pay-to-play coverage in Spin or any other publication, it’s a scam. All shade and shame to the grifter impersonating me.

RIP Reaper Mook, a Long Beach legend, a master of the slow flow who balanced tailored suit elegance with Mafioso menace and the antique soul of the broken-hearted and betrayed. Somewhere between Roc Marciano and Brenton Wood. Raise a glass to the Reaper when you make a toast.

A movie I wrote - that’s personal in more ways I care to mention - starts filming today. It’s only possible because others risked their reputation on my behalf. And they did it for years. Thank you @johnzaozirny and the Bellevue team. Thank you Max West and Phil D’Amecourt at WME

RIP Kaleb Horton, one of the most dazzling, funny, kind, & truly original writers to ever grace this endangered medium. I was lucky enough to edit him for the most popular piece we ever did @theLAndmagazine. A strange poultry odyssey of true brilliance. thelandmag.com/pioneer-fried…

das efx made a stylistic choice that may have boxed them in and made them an easy target for critics/peers, but you never forgot them. i wish I had the experience of hearing more wild, singular sounds in contemporary rap more often.
