Song of the Week: D-Pryde - 12AM in Chinatown





I flip back and forth on D-Pryde.  He's definitely got the talent but some songs just end up being kinda weak for reasons I can't explain.  I loved the last mixtape (Flagship, get it on DatPiff if you haven't) and I was super-excited to see that he got signed by BMG, but the first song I heard from him after just didn't bring the heat like I wanted it to.  But he's back now with his own take on Drake's 5AM in Toronto, the humorously-titled "12AM in Chinatown", along with a mention of an upcoming EP.   He's got my interest. 2012 was pretty amazing for hip-hop and while I've been complaining, there's plenty of time for things to "turn up" for 2013, and an EP of this quality from D-Prizzy could only help with that.

Bottom of the Pile: Apr. 8, 2015

Astro City As usual, Kurt Busiek's Astro City is creatively solid--following a superhero who's made his home on an alien planet, and has to learn to accept when it's time to hand the job over to the next generation.  It's almost the opposite of what happened with Crackerjack and Quarrel.  That said: I've been a denizen of the interwebs for nearly two decades now, and this still might be a strong contender for grossest sexual advance ever.
