Sci-fi is the theme behind Janelle Monae’s epic EP “Metropolis: The Chase Suite (Special Edition),” sounding as if it could be the score to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
At first mention, one would think Tanya Morgan is a female, but in fact, the name belongs to a trio of male MCs: Donwill, Ilyas, and Von Pea. After garnering major kudos for the group’s debut album, “Moonlighting,” the guys are back with “The Bridge” EP. 
B-Boys at heart, the threesome share a penchant for lyricism, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
With all of hip-hop’s globalization and commercialism, some MCs still identify with the culture through the memories of Run-DMC, Boogie Down Productions and the like. New Jersey born and California raised Raashan Ahmad’s debut solo album “The Push” is rooted in the musical tradition of his predecessors. 
The vintage boom-bap sound and turntable scratches on “Hello” [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
There used to be a time in R&#38;B when male singers passionately broadcasted their love for the opposite sex. Rekindling the romance in music is Brandon Beal’s debut album “Comfortable.” 
Comprised mostly of ballads, the Texas native touches on different aspects of relationships throughout the disc, including: the courting process (“Grown,” “Girl”), cheating (“October”), breakups (“Don’t [...]]]></description>

Every so often an artist comes along that shuns convention and challenges the status quo of preexisting formulas. Peter Hadar happens to be that person, and his second album, “Well Dressed for the Art Show,” reflect his eccentric style. 
Fusing sounds and tones of R&#38;B, Electronic, and Rock, the former fashion stylist turned singer/songwriter ventures into [...]]]></description>
