Height Keech Returns with "That's A Wrap for Radio Shack" from Forthcoming Album RAW ROUTES (Cold Rhymes Records)

Last we heard from Dan "Height" Keech, he was prepping his 2018 E-40 & B-Legit-style double-mic sonic assault, Computer Rocker, on his very own imprint, Cold Rhymes Records, with partner-in-rhyme, MISTER as a "Featured Emcee" throughout." Prior to Computer Rocker, Height and his crew unleashed THERE ISN'T VERY MICH TIME: 14 ICE-COLD DEVASTATORS FROM COLD RHYMES RECORDS, which boasted choice cuts from their 2018 release schedule: Height-produced Stories of A Made Up Year from Darko The Super, Speak N' Eye's Cypher At The Gates of Dawn, and Kate Ferencz's What Was The World, as well as Param Anand Singh's Psychic Arpeggiator, 808's & Milkshakes from Desperate Band Appreciation Society (Darko & Harvey Cliff MC,) Vans_Westly's Bubble Boy, HEIGHT KEECH 1000: The Tightest Songs 2000-2018, ialive's Don't Do Nothing—one of our personal Favorite Albums of 2018—Year of The Darko Hosted By: Height Keech, and MISTER & CURT CATARACT's cross-continental collaborative effort, Approaching Land.

Now, Height Keech has suddenly returned with the lead-off single from his first proper long-form release of 2019, "That's A Wrap for Radio Shack" from RAW ROUTES. It's an homage to now-defunct American electronics chain, which closed its last remaining physical brick-and-mortar stores during Summer 2017. "That's A Wrap for Radio Shack," actually, starts with a couple warped fragments from old RadioShack commercials, as Height ferociously rhymes, "Back in the day, when Hip-Hop was new, me and my pals start rhymin' was the thing to do / Nobody had the know-how in my neck of the wood, we went to RadioShack to get the cheapest of goods / You could make a 4-track outta plugs and chords, your dad's tape deck, and some Mickey Mouse keyboards..." RAW ROUTES will feature appearances from Illingsworth, MISTER, ialive, Hemlock Ernst, Goldzilla, PT Burnem, Travis Allen, Ashley Alexander, and Emily Slaughter with Additional Tracking by Eddie Logix, Mastering by Carl Saff, Mixing by Brandon Lackey at Lineup Room, and Album Art created by ialive. RAW ROUTES will be widely released on digital album/12-inch vinyl formats on Cold Rhymes Records Monday, September 2, 2019.

"This is Height Keech. I've got good news and bad news. The bad news is that Radio Shack no longer exists. The good news is that my new song, "That's A Wrap for The Radio Shack," is out now. It's the first single from my forthcoming album, Raw Routes, coming out September 2nd on Cold Rhymes Records. You can pre-order the vinyl here. My good pal MISTER shot and edited this video. I hope you can dig it. Thanks for reading.

"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
