Wu's Iron Chef returned in 2009 with a sequal to his classic 1995 album, Only Built for Cuban Linx . Despite the naysayers and haters, the Chef did not dissapoint, giving us a slew of gritty tales of the crack game told over dusty soul loops. Rhapsody recently caught up with Rae and spoke with ...

Palmetto Records has been carrying the torch for forward-thinking modern jazz since 1990. With an indie spirit and a refusal to be pigeonholed, founder and producer Matt Balitsaris is serving to extend the vernacular of post-bop, avant garde and other jazz-inspired ...

Given the ups and downs of his career so far, it's hard to believe that Chris Brown has only been scoring hits for four years. But it was only at the end of November 2005 that "Run It!" began its five-week run at the top of the pop chart -- as male artists before him went, only Montell Jordan a ...

Over the past decade, the definitions of "alternative" and "indie" have become increasingly subjective. An independent artist can quickly attract a mainstream following thanks to instant blog/social-networking stardom, and a major-label luminary can venture into decidedly "indie" sounds ...

ANTI- Records was founded in 1999 as a sister label to Epitaph Records. It's the byproduct of its founder, Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz, growing up a bit and realizing that he has broadened his musical horizons beyond just punk rock. Sure, the Distillers and ...

Just when I was getting the feeling that we should abolish the U.S. Congress, their fabled book wing, the Library of Congress, has awarded Paul McCartney the third Gershwin Prize for Popular Song (the first two recipients were Paul Simon and Stevie Wonder ). I didn't even know that the Library ...

Poker Face
Freaky, cheeky and chic, Lady Gaga is one of those pop sensations that somehow manages to delight the masses without losing any cool points with the fashion-making elite. On one level the multitalented Gaga has bucked the dance-pop trend by being completely in charge of all aspects of her ...

Oh, Lady Gaga . We love everything about you, from your weird, childlike name to your endless costume changes. You define pop stardom even as you mock it. And you trusted so fiercely in “the Fame” that you made yourself famous by the sheer power of self-belief (and maybe a little ...

Electronic
Probably the most important thing that happened to electronic music in the '00s was its acceptance as a more or less everyday part of popular music, period. Sure, subgenres like house and techno persevered, and onetime blips blossomed into full-blown global subcultures -- witness U.K. garage's ...
