A six-track dance mixtape from (South Korean label) Feel Ghood Music's soulful singer MRSHLL. "Alien Issa" dropped on October 31, just in time for Halloween. MRSHLL, who is openly gay, wrote on Instagram that this EP is for "those of us in the margins, those of us who feel like we don't belong, the in-betweeners... an alien impersonating what society had boxed us into... to survive." The Korean-American artist also wrote...

The former AOMG co-CEO (Simon Dominic) says Monch is "the most influential person that made Dominic the rap technician that he is." According to the HIPHOPLE translated interview... Dominic contac
