Your Old Droog & Edan Join Forces for Episode 1 In KitchenAid'ed WITCH IN THE KITCHEN Series (Sampling ZZ Top's "Cheap Sunglasses")

"My kitchen got more ZZ Top records in it than yours... Link to 5+ minutes of elite rhyming by my brother @yourolddroog in The Bio..." Edan (@edanexists) posted on his Instagram page yesterday afternoon. "Witch In The Kitchen" (Episode 1) is just the latest collaboration from reclusive, yet extremely prolific rapper/producer/DJ Edan and Brooklyn-bred Ukrainian-American emcee Your Old Droog. Edan previously produced/co-produced four tracks on Droog's 2017 major label debut, PACKS for FatBeats. Edan, also, played guitar on the RTNC-produced title track from Your Old Droog & Wiki's 2017 collaborative EP, What Happened To Fire? While the original track was produced by recent Bun B collaborator Statik Selektah, there's video online of Your Old Droog, Wiki & Edan rehearsing "Vigilantes" together before a June 2017 Red Bull Sound Select Presents performance at The Knitting Factory. However, it appears as though "Witch In The Kitchen" was recorded in the same place as said "Vigilantes" rehearsal clip, Edan's apartment, more specifically, his kitchen.

Edan's kitchen/home recording "studio" was previously chronicled within photographer Eilon Paz's coffee-table book, Dust & Grooves: Adventures In Record Collecting, as well as a 2014 Wall Street Journal feature entitled Vinyl's Record Resurgence Fuels New Book. For what appears to be the first in a series of on-going "Witch In The Kitchen" episodes, Droog ferociously rhymes over a live-cut beat Edan lifted directly from ZZ Top's "Cheap Sunglasses," which oddly enough, you can see the record it's from, Degüello, on the shelf right over his shoulder. I'm really diggin' Your Old Droog's shout-outs to Billy Gibbons, Jeremy Piven, Ginger Baker, etc. and the underlying Classic Rock vibes throughout; it, actually, reminds me of Droog's phenomenal Rock-themed 2015 EP, KINISON, and I hope this ushers in a proper full-length release from Edan & Your Old Droog. Edan's latest EP, Humble Pi, recorded with sharp-tongued emcee Homeboy Sandman is now available on Stones Throw Records. While Your Old Droog's latest V Don-produced single, "RST" Feat. DOOM & Mach-Hommy—YES, DROOG ALONGSIDE DOOM & MACH-HOMMY!!!—is now available on streaming platforms, along with a string of post-Looseys loosies.

"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
