DJ Ragz & Unown Unveil Second Mouth-watering Course In Food-themed Beat Tape Series with BURGERS & SLIDERS (Common Good Records)

Coast-to-coast DJ super-duo Brian Ragonese & Richard Patterson have returned with their second food-themed collaborative project as DJ Ragz & Unown. Burgers & Sliders is, of course, the second all-you-can-eat instrumental follow-up to Unown & Ragz's 2018 Common Good Records release, Pasta & Wings. "It's a take on the LA burger scene capturing a moment of time from the golden era of G-Funk Rap. We had a blast recording this project!" DJ Ragz writes on his YouTube channel, along with the juicy video for "Plump At All The Time$." Burgers & Sliders finds the duo back in their respective kitchens, with Unown handling the beat duties on his coveted MPC and DJ Ragz meticulously cutting up the meat of these beats on his turntables. DJ Ragz is a world-renown event DJ, instructor, seasoned studio musician, and producer in his own right, who was born and raised Roseville, California and currently resides in the Northern Virginia/DC area. Unown, on the other hand, is an esteemed producer, engineer, and globe-trotting DJ travelling from city-to-city as part of Oddissee's in-house/live band, GOOD COMPNY. Both DJ Ragz & unOwn are, actually, part of DC/VA/NC-based Hip-Hop crew Jazz Addixx/Soul Expansion, along with Chicago-bred MC MUDD. 🍔

Essentially, building off similar themes tasted... I mean, tested out on Pasta & Wings, Unown & DJ Ragz fill each of their 12 courses on Burgers & Sliders with plenty of 90's West Coast G-Funk/Boom-Bap and juicy tidbits concerning their favorite cuts of beef. Each 6-course side is labelled either "BURGERS" or "SLIDERS" and driving the fast food-evoking theme home, each limited edition Burgers & Sliders cassette or CD comes packaged in "H A M B U R G E R" or "C H E E S E B U R G E R" foil wrappers, strangely similar to what you might find at your favorite road-side burger joint. While they're almost completely SOLD OUT of beef-based packages at Los Angeles imprint, Common Good Records, DJ Ragz & Unown's Burgers & Sliders cassettes are currently available from FatBeats in The States and will become available at HHV across Europe starting Friday, April, 26, 2019, while supplies last. Get 'em while you can because, rest assured, once they're gone, they're gone for good; however, unlimited quantities of Burgers & Sliders are available digitally at Common Good Records for less than the price of a Burger, Drink & Fry Combo from Five Guys! While it probably isn't exactly vegan-friendly, I would strongly recommend Burgers & Sliders to anyone who enjoys burgers, sliders, dusty Hip-Hop, and mouth-watering beats—it's even kid-friendly for your pint-sized Hip-Hop heads!

"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

[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

Liberty Bell Cracked In 1/2: Ween - "Freedom of '76" (Gene Ween's Final Send-Off)

Chocolate & Cheese (1994) was one of the first albums I bought with my own money. I was in some sort of BMG Music Club , where you'd buy 5 CD's and then get 10 for "FREE." It was all sent through mail order and you picked the titles from some special booklet. I'm almost positive that Chocolate & Cheese's side boob-baring album cover was what initially drew me in... mind you, I was 12-15 and the zany Ween logo/middle finger CD graphic really didn't hurt either. Honestly, I forget how I really felt about it @ the time, but a few years later, my older cousin Josh told me that Ween were this BIG college "jam band." CKY did some sort pf 93.3 radio takeover to promote their new album and played "Freedom of '76" late that night on air. Needless to say, I re-visited Chocolate & Cheese @ about 20-something this go 'round and I fucking loved it! Ween were really weird, yet talented... almost too talented. I can vaguel
