CHRIS MILES NEW SINGLE
From the outset Chris Miles uses “Topic of Discussion” to address the elephant in the room…the skepticism surrounding his come-up. Unfazed, Chris Miles spits bars like, “Thanks for the free promotion, I see that these people roasting me, but it’s easy to type words that don’t mean nothing,” over a smooth Selektah beat. From the crisp drums to the turntable scratches, “Topic of Discussion,” fits perfectly into the mold of that classic New York hip-hop sound. Being so new to the scene, Miles is far from silencing all of the doubters, but “Topic of Discussion” is a great introduction to a rising talent.

All of the biggest names in music were there, but none of them stood shorter than Jimmy Kimmel’s own security guard, Guillermo. Guillermo has a unique interviewing style – typically, interviewers will look their subjects directly in the face, but Guillermo is not typical in any way – he is an original. So last night, he sat down with some of the winners, performers, and presenters backstage as only Guillermo can — back to back.

Vancouver quartet JPNSGRLS (pronounced “Japanese Girls”) released their debut full-length, Circulation, earlier this year and toured both coasts of the US for the first time, ending with a powerfull CMJ. The twelve songs on the album were tracked in just seven days with the band eschewing unnecessary frills in favor of electrifying live energy.
