Kanye West — Yeezus
Try as you might, but there’s no escaping Kanye West. Turn on the TV,
radio, computer — hell, take a stroll downtown and you might see his mug
projected on the side of a building. It’s an undeniable fact of life in
2013: Kanye West is bigger than Buddha, Krishna and The Beatles (today,
anyway) and he’ll be the first to let you know about it.

With the soul of a poet and the look of a Sons of Anarchy extra,
Tulsa’s John Moreland has been gifted the sort of gravely, booming voice
that does Bruce Springsteen proud and a similar understanding of the
universal human experience. It’s made for some fantastic records — both
as a solo artist and with his dissolved Black Gold Band — and In the Throes is his best yet.

Oklahoma has never been the haven for electronic rock music that it is
for country, folk and, as of late, psychedelic pop, but from the sound
of Lights Burn Out, Oklahoma City upstart Jumpship Astronaut seems intent on changing that.
06/12/2013 | Comments 0Various artists — Reaching Out
Like so many Oklahomans, the local music scene has responded with
generosity and grace in the wake of last month’s tragedy in Moore. In
the weeks since, droves of local musicians have banded together for
benefit concerts and radio marathons to raise funds for the relief
effort, and with extraordinary results.

It’s been a long, bumpy ride for Glenpool’s Progress in Color, which saw a record deal with Epic evaporate before even one record could come of it, but it’s led the outfit to where it was supposed to be.

This guy is a total joke. Worst I've ever heard. At first I thought it was supposed to be comedy till I realized he was serious. The "record labels" he is on is also a joke. If I was stuck on a deserted island with nothing to listen to but Rob Vader, I would just jump back in with the sharks. HORRIBLE!
bet you won't go say that to his face lol keyboard gangster
please get a life. or don't, no one cares.
honestly being different doesn't make it good. this sounds horrible too bad he won't admit it. and yes i bet "brian" would say it to his face because rob v isn't a tough guy. Unless brian is a 100 pound white guy or a girl. He has a real bad attitude and he thinks that he is better than he actually is. he is a jobless talent with no money and a drug habit (weed) and if not for DJ Jonny Tsunami he would be broke and homeless. All he talks about are his downloads but you never hear him talk about actual record sales because they don't exist. downloads are free. lets see you survive off of those. He is a leach and nobody likes him. maybe if he had a better attitude then people might overlook his horrible music and give him a chance but until then he will stay a horrible local rapper. oh yeah and whenever he does a show he forgets the words to his own songs #fail. So tell Rob to thank Jonny for his existance because without him he would be a homeless troll
As an avid supporter of local hip hop, I am very disapointed to see the Gazette supporting such an artist. I just listened through some of the tracks on his albums and I can't believe I just put myself through that. There are many great local hip hop acts you could have supported... this is not one of them
I know this guy! I never would have thought he rapped though. He has a horrible attitude and a huge ego. That's about all I know. I've also heard of his problem with drugs. He has tried to get my girl to come get high with him on numerous occasions at Kamps on Wednesday nights even when she tells him she doesn't do drugs!!!
