HBA’s show during New York Fashion Week this past February was one of this year’s stand-outs and made an industry star of...

Fraud is from Brooklyn but recently relocated to Florida to live that beach lifestyle. He’s also known as a versatile beatmaker, responsible for everything from French Montana’s “Shot Caller” to Action Bronson and Riff Raff’s team-up “Bird on a Wire.” With this background it makes sense that High Tide is such a sonically...

  • Scion AV Open Mic Returns with Riff Raff, Stalley and Smoke DZA

  • RZA Performs With James Blake at Coachella, Collabs With Artist David Choe

    RZA performs with James Blake at Coachella We’re still recovering from two weekends in a row of wilding out in the desert of Palm Springs—gotta admit it’s really hard to get back to work right now. Even though our Coachella timelines were mainly full of shaky cellphone vids of the Daft Punk album ad, it didn’t escape us that Wu-Tang clan main man RZA joined James Blake—the London producer who is chill dance music’s man-of-the-moment—on stage on Sunday, April 21 to perform a special version of Blake’s “Take a Fall For Me,” a song that Blake has said reminded him of Wu-Tang when...

  • Lunice Is On Rap’s Futuristic Frontier

    Lunice Talks About TNGHT and Working with Hudson Mohawke Lunice is one of the many young artists that Scion AV is working with who pushes the boundaries of what hip-hop can be. The young producer remains one of 2013′s hottest prospects, as listeners wait to hear what he’ll unleash next through both his solo work and his project TNGHT with Hudson Mohawke. Lunice is capable of blending disparate movements into his music, incorporating bass-heavy sounds like trap music, the skittering snares of Chicago’s juke and his own percussive flexing on the MPC. Sometimes listening to these compositions can feel like you’re hearing the personal video...

  • Fresh to Death: Chicago Rapper Rockie Fresh

    From Rick Ross’ mighty Maybach Music Group imprint – home to artists including Wale, Meek Mill and French Montana – arises the soft-spoken but hard-hitting Chicago dude known as Rockie Fresh. He caught the eye of Mr. Rozay (and Diddy’s Bad Boy, with whom he almost signed) thanks to two highly acclaimed mixtapes, 2010′s The Otherside and 2012 mixtape Driving 88. And despite his chill vibes, you could definitely say 21-year-old Rockie’s been on his grind, working with the likes of Nipsey Hussle, Curren$y and even pop-punkers Good Charlotte. Rockie recently dropped his first Maybach mixtape, Electric Highway, on January...
