  • For Music's Sake - "School of Roses" by Christon Grey review
    Apr 3 2024

    Ladies and Gentlemen, we liked to introduce our very first guest reviewer Michael "MACB" Bender! It's an exciting time as we move in our purpose to feature guest that give all new perspective on the Timeless album search. Today we look into the triple threat (singer, rapper, producer) Christon Gray's "School of Roses" album to see if early 2014 album of his has the Timeless factor. Was the risk from Christian hip-hop to something that could be deemed secular a good move? What will our guest MACB bring to the table? Stay tuned...

  • For Music's Sake Ep. 12 - The Game - The Documentary - Pt. 1
    Oct 28 2023
    We are back like we never left! Except.... we kinda did leave. Y'ALL. We had to take some time off. Let me tell ya... Life be Lifin'. So. Here's the latest episode. It was recorded several months ago. This is a long one y'all AND there is a part 2 because of connection issues. The Game's "The Documentary" was a moment in hip-hop. And......it's still a vibe. What kind of vibe, you say? Tune in to hear! Ps. Name droppin' in lyrics, West Coast hip-hop, and G-Unit are some of the things we discuss here.
