"It's The Fish Tank 3 & The Rhymes Is ACE:" Height Keech, Lord Grunge & B-Rich Let Loose "ACE" from Forthcoming Shark Tank Album Dan's House (The Witzard Premier)

"Shark Tank is my group with Lord Grunge and B.Rich. Lord Grunge represents the legendary Pittsburgh duo, Grand Buffet. B.Rich is an emcee with a side-career as a Canadian-centric YouTube star (see Out for a Rip.) Mickey Free is the Jarobi White of the group," Height Keech wrote within a recent email concerning his Hip-Hop crew, Shark Tank. Their fourth studio album, Dan's House was recently announced and is scheduled to drop on Height's own Cold Rhymes Records this upcoming July 17th. Dan's House was entirely produced by Height (Dan) Keech and is his first time producing a whole project, outside of his solo material. I was lucky enough to speak with Height and publish an interview breaking down his phenomenal solo album, MIND MOVES THE MOUNTAIN, released just a few months ago; he mentioned a new Shark Tank album within our conversation, but even I didn't realize it would be released so soon! "Dan's House is our fourth record. The record was produced entirely by me and mixed by Brandon Lackey. This will be the first of many Cold Rhymes releases with me on the beats and Mr. Lackey on the boards [mixing]. The title started as a non-sequitur, but came to signify that this record is my chamber of the Shark Tank realm and that this is how we do things at Dan's House," Height continued.

When asked by yours truly when we could likely expect new material from Shark Tank (within said interview,) Height charismatically replied: "Yes! The fourth Shark Tank album will be the next release on Cold Rhymes. Our mission this time was to steer away from the extremely zany/inside joke territory explored on our last album [Don't F**k with Us] and come with an concise album of straight heat." While Shark Tank's forthcoming Dan's House is their first release on Height's newly-minted Cold Rhymes Records, they've self-released three additional full-lengths between 2011-2015: Shark Tank, Fun Youngs, and Don't F**k with Us. Height told me that Fun Youngs (2012) is actually certified Gold in B.Rich's home country of Canada, "due to the surprise success of that album's bonus track, called "Out for a Rip." Aside from Dan's House's "Intro (Blaze for Days,)" first proper single "Ace" is premiering here exclusively at The Witzard. I would fittingly describe it as a Beastie Boys "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party)"-style call-to-arms/Hip-Hop party anthem with B.Rich proclaiming "yo, this ain't Dance music, but you can dance to it at f**kin' Dan's House and you can check out how the mans do it" punctuated by a squealing guitar lick reminiscent of "No Sleep 'til Brooklyn." I seriously can't wait to hear awesomely-titled Dan's House album closer "Chris Isaak Can't Do a Thing (to Stop Me,)" but that'll have to wait 'til the album's unleashed on Cold Rhymes Records this upcoming July 17th.

[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
