Stones Throw Records Quietly Unleash Homeboy Sandman & Edan's First Collaborative Single "#NeverUseTheInternetAgain" (Sand & Edan)

Last month, Stones Throw (@stonesthrow) mysteriously posted "@edanexists & @homeboysandman are working on some music together, which will debut at our SXSW showcase this Friday" on their Instagram page, which has since garnered 2,667+ Likes. As should be expect, for anyone interested in Indie/Underground Hip-Hop, a few of my writer friends and I went nuts on Rap Twitter. About for weeks have passed with no additional mention of Sandman & Edan's rumored collaborative efforts from Stones Throw. Just this morning, on a whim, I decided to check Stones Throw's home page and BAM! there it was: "Homeboy Sandman & Edan #NeverUseTheInternetAgain"—right there in the middle column of the front page. It seems as though no one (aside from RAW DRIVE) had noticed or even checked Stones Throw's site for the past 7 hours or so, this including myself! While on a roll about the downsides of The Internet, Sandman jokingly(?) rhymes: "Internet journalism, here's what you're gonna find / Everyone who can't get paid for it, does it online / Most of the ones online that's getting paid suck, too / F**k you!!!"

Despite his apparent disdain for music writers, I actually, had the rare opportunity to meet Homeboy Sandman at Union Transfer, Philly after his 2016 "LICE Tour" stop with Aesop Rock and he was kind enough to sign my LICE EP 12-inch. I seriously, can't express how stoked I am to finally hear what Edan & Sandman have cooked up together; especially, after hearing "#NeverUseTheInternetAgain," as well as "Talking (Bleep)" from Homeboy Sandman's 2016 album, Kindness for Weakness. Judging by these, as well as Edan's recent work with Your Old Droog & Wiki, Mr. Lif, Memory Man, and most recently, Cut Chemist's DIE CUT, this unspecified collaborative effort from Sand & Edan is likely going to "Break The Internet!" Homeboy Sandman & Edan's "#NeverUseTheInternetAgain" is now available on Spotify, Google Play, DEEZER, junodownload, YouTube, and like-minded digital streaming platforms. For now, here's a bit of Hip-Hop Forum speculation on Sand & Edan from UndergroundHipHop's message boards, as well as some cell phone footage of "EDAN & HOMEBOY SANDMAN @ Empire Garage (Stones Throw Showcase) 3.16.18 SXSW" and "Rock And Roll" [Excerpt], as filmed by tech-savvy concert-goer Jeremy Cargill.

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
