The Lounge Presents

Keysha Freshh rolled through the lounge space to share her come-up and the rollout of her latest full-length, Pretty Boys Break My Heart, which is available now.

PBMH is a dope listen and highly recommended for your collection.

Always live having the homey JAKE PALUMBO in the lounge space & for this go-round, we're talking about The Violence of Healing, his latest record available everywhere now.

Catch a vibe & cop that when the physicals drop.

We were looking forward to welcoming FRANCESCA D'AMICO-CUTHBERT into the lounge space to discuss her come-up as an educator and historian in hip hop culture.

A very good episode and most def not the last time we have her in the lounge space.

We were elated to welcome back GIL MASUDA into the lounge space and he brought along a first-timer to The Lounge Presents, SAUKRATES.

The two recently dropped the incredibly funky Driftin', available now via Love Touch Records' Bandcamp and streaming everywhere.

They dropped some news re: future releases so keep your eyes peeled for that next.

We love having the boys from MACHINA II in the lounge space and on this episode they tell us all about the new EP, The Jazz Tape, Volume 1, which they did with producer RECTITUDE, and we get into other interesting topics like if they had ever heard of Drake or if a Michael Jackson instrumental was cancelled - or not.

The Jazz Tape, Volume 1 is streaming everywhere.

Since first meeting and talking with NIGEL WEBBER, we have been looking forward to welcoming him into the lounge space to discuss Gritty City: An Oral History of Winnipeg Hip Hop Music, which drops in July.

Reach grittycitywpg.com to order a copy as well as the dope Gritty City merch and look out for an official release event, as well.

We had an opportunity to welcome FLEXUM (Manitoba Breaking Alliance, Knuckleheads Cali) into the lounge space to tell us about the important work being done by the MBA, who are currently promoting "Quality Control 2", which takes place Saturday at Graffiti Gallery in Winnipeg.

Tickets are available now and there will be youth and adult divisions so if you haven't entered yet, get your name in and show out.

We were excited to talk with J.O. MAIRS and JOSH GRANT about their full-length, Joshua, an incredibly dope front-to-back listen that would get many repeat plays in your music library.

Joshua is available now via mairssociety.com.

We love having fam like ROSHIN in the lounge space because we get to catch up and talk about new music but this episode we also took you elsewhere (if you're fans of merry Westchester mutants, you'll dig it).

His new album, Underthinking, is available now via Bandcamp and is streaming everywhere.
