Brandon Backhaus
Brandon Backhaus has been asleep at the wheel for a decade. He just woke up smashed in a roadside ditch surrounded my empty Mike's Hard Lemonade bottles, and Ragga Jungle mixtapes. And after taking stock, has decided to hitchhike back to life, pausing only to belt out the occasional, "It's the Final Countdown", masturbate, and be mouth-raped by Cap't Crunch.

Busdriver - MUCH
Brandon Backhaus | November 18, 2015
I've loved Busdriver's music for at least a decade now. Probably longer. From the dreadlocked man of two microphones spinning syllabic backslaps and neck cracks. To the statesman for all the rap your girlfriend hates. And I still somehow don'...

Reinforced Steel - The Dictator
Brandon Backhaus | November 18, 2015
The world is small.
People's hearts are big.

The DeathMedicine Band - From This Normality We've Taken Our Leave
Brandon Backhaus | November 16, 2015
Don't know much about these pricks, but goddamn if they didn't up and gut punch my nut guts without asking permission. And that's the kind of initiative that gets this kind of noisy shit that nobody normal likes made. Even the album title made me want to...

Cavanaugh (Open Mike Eagle x Serengeti) - Screen Play
Brandon Backhaus | November 16, 2015
Deltron 3030 is still one of my favorite rap records. It is the Mount Everest of concept records, immersing the listener in post-apocalyptic wasteland of battle-rapping aliens, gas-jacking masked monks and our syllabic protagonist, the tenderly braggadocios,...

Dubldragon - Y Wulvs?
Brandon Backhaus | November 9, 2015
I sort of met these Dubldragon dudes for like a split second when I went to say hi to my friend Sammy Warmhands as he passed through LA. Ever the opportunist - this is rap music after all - Skeptik (aka the...

Brandon Backhaus | November 9, 2015
Tasty, tasty new video from Lamon Manuel of Tomorrow Kings and Analog(ue) Tape Dispenser. This song goes so hard. It's the kind of stream of...
