So, who are Death Grips? What's all the hype about around this band? Well, for one thing, they're one of the weirdest hip-hip duos the world has ever seen. Here's an entry level guide to the Internet's beloved alternative rap group.
Dress Up began during my second semester with the radio station. I wanted to highlight female musicians, not only because I loved their music but I had also noticed a lack of female artists in the station’s rotation. So, it was a two-pronged effort: play more women and review more women so others could play them. It started out as a solo project, but I currently have K-Midd as a co-host. Our playlists are very diverse — I focus on folk and soul, while K-Midd brings in electronica and R&B-tinged tracks. We usually try to complement each other, and on each show we do a feature set, where we play five tracks each from three artists we really love. Right now, the set-up is one of us plays 30 minutes of “intro” music to the feature, then the other plays the three feature artists, ending with 30 minutes of “outro” music — like a Dress Up sandwich.

Rick Ross is back in the rap game with his new deluxe album, “Hood Billionaire.” Whether it's related to his new diet — “shoutout to all the pear,” Ross said in a recent interview regarding his new album — is still unclear.
James Copenhaver, emeritus band director of the Carolina Band, died Wednesday at age 71. He had retired in the summer of 2010, but continued to play a role at the university. He had his own office at the new Copenhaver Band Hall.
The charts of any era always offer a glance into the culture of the time. Judging by WUSC’s most recent charts, our culture rather enjoys trap and electronic music. Usually, my co-host DJ Vixen and I play the station charts, but sometimes we get the chance to feature our own music libraries. I’ve kept track of every playlist I’ve ever played on air, but this is one of my favorites that I’ve put together. This was actually the playlist for our first show of this semester, featuring a few different genres and sub-genres: alternative rock, R&B, indie rock and R&B-influenced electronica.
