Henry Canyons Announces 3/17 La Côte West EP "Release Show" As Part of PremRock & Fresh Kils' SULTANS OF SPRING TOUR (Backwoodz Studioz)

Henry Canyons is an LA-based Brooklyn-bred emcee, who, as a self-described "Brooklinite-French-Jew," transcends your typical ideal of what Hip-Hop could and should be; from his training as a Jazz saxophonist to his teenage years spent in Brooklyn ciphers, his melodic style, and bilingual lyrical integrity, Henry Canyons isn't exactly your typical emcee. He evokes a laid-back, yet extremely impactful flow similar in style to one-time Stones Throw signee Jonwayne with a keen ear for heavy-hitting, slightly off-kilter beats akin to Homeboy Sandman. Over the course of his storied career, Canyons has shared the stage with the likes of Macklemore, Tash (Tha Alkaholiks,) Open Mike Eagle, Pigeon Jon, Homeboy Sandman, Blue Scholars, DJ Mo Niklz, and PremRock. Henry Canyons boasts label affiliation with Brooklyn-based "Dystopian Hip-Hop" imprint/collective Backwoodz Studioz, whose current roster includes Armand Hammer (or billy woods & ELUCID,) billy woods, Blockhead, ELUCID, Willie Green, and of course, Henry Canyons himself; albeit, former Backwoodz signees and affiliates include A.M. Breakups, Dr. Monokrome, Invizzibl Men, Keith Masters, MeccaGodZilla, The Reavers, The Super Chron Flight Brothers, and Vordul Mega. Since first kick-starting his Indie Hip-Hop career back in 2012, Canyons has released two album-length projects and three corresponding EP's: Vignettes, Canyonland, One Thousand Plateaus, The Feels, and most recently, La Côte West.

"In September 2016, Henry Canyons flew to Biarritz—a small coastal surf town in the Basque country of Southwestern France—to participate in a two-month long artist residency with BoiSakré productions," Henry Canyons wrote on Bandcamp. Generally, working with choreographers, directors, visual artists, and other creative types, Canyons was BoiSakré's first participating musician and was heavily inspired by his mother's French heritage. BoiSakré productions required no pre-determined length for the eventual project or pre-requisite of form or style of work, which really, gave Henry Canyons open range to create whatever came to him. La Côte West showcases beats culled from producers Rhys Langston, $ample, CHAPTER3, beatmachinearon, Keor Meteor, and Simon Degli Innocenti on which Canyons "allowed each beat to set the tone and let the vignettes of his day-to-day experiences weave their way into his songs." On La Côte West EP, Henry Canyons and his beat-making buddies have truly, created something unique and as a decades-long Hip-Hop fan, I can honestly say, sounds like nothing I've ever heard before. Canyons and Backwoodz Studioz are currently finalizing the details for his second proper full-length on the label, entitled Cool Side of The Pillow, entirely produced by frequent collaborator and childhood friend Matt "Bones" Bowen. Henry Canyons is planning to go on a month-long tour with like-minded Hip-Hop artists PremRock & Fresh Kils as part of their SULTANS OF SPRING 2018 TOUR. One date, in particular: Saturday 3/17 at Genghis Cohen in LA will dual as a La Côte West EP Release Show with special guests Elete & Ollie Chanin.

[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
