THE CUT: Ericdoa is too kinetic to slow down


Soundcloud rappers long shaped what mainstream music looked like (just listen to Drake*). One rapper you're bound to hear more about is Ericdoa. 

Releasing two projects in the span of three months, the 18-year old artist is making a name for himself for infectious emo rap that makes you want to punch dance your angst out. Utilizing a mix of distorted drums and EDM/Dance music Doa sing raps about love and loss. However, his music is so kinetic that you won't notice you're listening to a song about his mental health.

But Doa isn't a one trick pony and knows when to slow it down for listeners. On his slower tracks you'll here angelic background vocals, acoustic strings and stripped lead vocals. 

Ericdoa's music is a roller coaster and in this climate, I think we've all learned to live with the extreme highs and lows. Soon, he's going to be a household name that I'm sure others will try to copy and emulate (see above*).

and my personal fave:

You need to start paying attention to the news

When was the last time you read/watched the news? I'm not talking about reading a headline or posts on Twitter either. I mean when did you really sit down and read a story about something going on in the world? For a lot of you, the answer is never or not too often. I don't blame you, it's easy now to keep your heads down and to shift focus on social media, video games or other mediums. A lot of people I talk to about what's happening in the news couldn't care less about it and would rather spend time on other less tedious things. I understand why too. Honestly, at times there is just way to much shit going on. It's hard to keep up on what's important. Every 24 hours, a different scandal breaks or something new develops with something that broke months ago etc. etc. etc. It's a long winding maze that really does not have an end in sight. Here's the thing. If we turn our backs to whats going on in the world we detach ourselves from every...

The NFL upholds Myles Garrett's suspension, showing its hypocrisy...again

Image
Myles Garret tried to appeal his indefinite suspension today in New York. In less than two hours, his hearing ended and he walked out with no indication whether or not he was successful. Now, word has come out that the NFL is upholding its decision to suspend him. Here's the thing: Garrett shouldn't be suspended at all. At the very least, he shouldn't be punished as harshly as he was for hitting Mason Rudolph on the head with a helmet. Was it brutal? Absolutely. Was it uncalled for? I mean there was less than a minute left in the whole game and his team was winning, so...no. Is this the first time something like this has happened? Absolutely not. First, let's just get this out of the way: in the NFL rule book, it clearly lays out that the maximum punishment for a player that uses a helmet as a weapon. The maximum punishment is a 15-yard penalty and an automatic disqualification from the game. That's it. Nowhere does it say that the player will be sus...
