5 Albums I Can’t Live Without: Johnny 3 Tears of Hollywood Undead
Name Johnny 3 Tears Best known for D list celebrity status (I knew Tom from MySpace). Current city L.A. Really want to be in Prague. I would be walking the streets and enjoying antiquity. Excited about New album dropping, our best yet in my opinion. My current music collection has a lot of Folk, been on a weird folk journey lately. John Prine and Gordon Lightfoot in particular.

BLK ODYSSY’s Vintage Contemporary
Blue Chips is a monthly rap column that highlights exceptional rising rappers. To read previous columns, click here. Soon, a music critic will write an essay on the glut of “new” artists copying their influences wholesale. Said critic could quickly point to the hordes of double cup-clutching Future aspirants with higher chances of rehab stints than platinum records or the Young Thug-clone industrial complex. To offer an antithesis to the plague of parodies, they might look to Juwan Elcock, the 25-year-old frontman of BLK ODYSSY. Inspired by Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp a Butterfly, Elcock wades deeply into personal, cultural, and sociopolitical waters while deftly fusing decades of Black music on BLK ODYSSY’s 2021 debut, BLK VINTAGE, and late June’s BLK VINTAGE: THE REPRISE. “[TPAB] really cha...
Meet George Johnson: The Angriest Songwriter in Washington, D.C.
It was a sweltering day in Washington, D.C., and George Johnson was running late for an appointment at the James Madison Memorial Building, the massive, bright-white marble box that is part of the Library of Congress. Inside, a high-priced lawyer for Pandora, impatient to move on with a 2016 hearing to set royalty rates for webcasting recorded music, suggested that the three-judge Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) simply call the next expert witness. But the judges decided to wait just a little longer. Finally, an hour after his scheduled time, Johnson, now 55, burst into the room, drenched in sweat and wearing a “Still Pissed at Yoko” T-shirt. (He was out of suits, and his Metro had stalled.) “It looked like he’d just run a marathon,” remembers Chris Harrison, then vp of business affairs for ...
