As rap names go, “MARQUISE! F.K.A OG SWAGGERDICK” is an entire feature film. There is a lot of backstory communicated in one single stroke there. As song titles go, “BAOW!” is highly accurate labeling. As Grubby Pawz beats go, this…

PFG, What Does It Mean? Prettyface Gangsta, it turns out, billed as a “new voice emerging from Fayetteville, NC.” (It’s good to see publicists finally moving on from that ol’ “rising force in the music industry” bullshit.) Being a hungry…

Last week, we wrapped up with an inexplicably weird Caev joint out of Boston. It led me to a long weekend of catching up on a lot of Beantown artists, old and new. When I was a budding rap mogul…
