MICHAEL DAVID
There was something awfully cinematic about the whole thing: sitting across the table from this learned man, in a diner where every customer looked like they could’ve been straight out of JD Salinger’s imagination. He told me his stories, and I took my notes, all the while wondering what conclusions any unwitting eavesdroppers would reach [...]
RAPHAEL SAADIQ
Hip hop is dead. If Raphael Saadiq could, he would probably exclaim such a statement from the rooftops. In a genre in which Soulja Boy classifies a lyricist, there remains little hope for the new generation to provide fresh and new music. The solution, according to Saadiq?

Bruce Springsteen is My Man Crush
So you meet someone new at a bar, let’s say it’s a girl. You hit it off, share a few drinks, and the night is going well. Eventually, the conversation lulls, the drinks are half-empty and you hit that old standby question, “What kind of music do you listen to?”

Just ask Emily Eddey, a Journalism and Music major here at NYU. “My entertainment lawyer would call me and I’d tell him that I’d have to call him back because I had to go take a Spanish [...]

GREEN STREET BAND
Original old-school hip-hop may be hard to come by at most universities, but the dedicated members of Green Street are spreading their sound around to a few northeastern schools and NYU students are liking what they hear.
Founded by NYU senior Ani Sanyal and Boston University’s Max Schneider, Green Street has been garnering attention for their [...]
