Unsung is a podcast where I cover music from Top 40 to the band-next-door via reviews shorter than a song.
Starting on my 26th birthday (1/5/15) I’ll be reviewing an album (almost) every day, hoping to reach the magic number (300!) before the ball drops on 2016. Each review will start with a short synopsis, followed by a Choice Cut (stand-out track) that I will dive into and play a snippit from. I’ll then share some Next of Kin- related artists that might help you put a thumb on if this album is for you or not.
I’ll give each record a rating of Red, Yellow or Green. Red is barely listenable, yellow is worthwhile and green is a great record. When I think something is amazing, I will give it a gold star because, Kindergarten.
What gives me the audacity to review an album a day? I’ve been thinking and writing about music for most my life, and have been published on an awesome website called Treble for over three years. Unsung is my attempt to document the process of listening to/evaluating TONS of records every year- and a chance to test out a new format at the same time.

Kendrick Lamar--To Pimp A Butterfly--3 Min. Review
http://unsung-podcast.com/2015/03/23/kendrick-lamar-pimp-butterfly/
This is the 3rd LP by Kendrick Lamar, an ambitious effort that combines gangsta-rap, psychedelic soul and prog to achieve an accessible-yet-avant garde height that has never been reached in quite this way via the genre of hip-hop. It might just be one of the more important records of our time.
Agree? Disagree? Somewhere in between? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
Kendrick Lamar/To Pimp a Butterfly/Top Dawg; Aftermath; Interscope/2015
Choice Cut: “The Blacker the Berry"
Next of Kin: Flying Lotus, Funkadelic, Ab-Soul
Rating: Green Light + GOLD STAR
