Buffalo native Che’ Noir embodies her city’s grit and their cumulative ethos of hard-work with consistent releases over the past five years. Nonetheless, having released Noir Or Never in early 2023, the gritty MC returns with a short EP before the release of another album, Lotus Child.
The Color Chocolate Volume 1 features appearances from Evidence, Your Old Droog, Ransom, and ICECOLDBISHOP and is the first taste of what will be Che Noir’s biggest and busiest year yet. Moreover, the “Quiet Moves” rapper gets to expand on her brand and artistic vision. The colorful and poetic rapper has leaned into her nubian features with incredibly artistic cover art and album themes. Meanwhile, her subject matter often reflects her surroundings in a world and industry that isn’t ready-made for her. On The Color Chocolate Volume 1 Che’ Noir uses her empowering voice to float over several soul samples as she provides insightful narration to the streets.
“I finished my Lotus Child album, and was impatiently waiting for a few features to come back, so I decided to start working on a new project. My work ethic can be a gift and a curse for me” Che mused.
“I am in constant competition with myself and I work very hard, so while I waited, I locked in and recorded for a month straight and picked the best four to put on The Color Chocolate Volume 1 EP. “I’m excited for the world to fully know my art, and who I am. The Color Chocolate Volume 1 EP is just the beginning.”
As the musical landscape evolves sonically, the need for contemporary songs & hymns to connect to the ever-changing world is not lost on tastemakers. While, simultaneously, the United States is creeping closer to its 250th anniversary. With this in mind, the Brooklyn Public Library and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts announced their latest project, “Anthem to US.” Presented in collaboration with Queens Public Library, “Anthem to US,” invites the public to join together in creating a contemporary song to add to the nation’s songbook.
What is Anthem to US?
Keeping with the anthem theme, the hope is that the final product from the “Anthem to US” will join in with some of America’s unifying musical pieces, such”America the Beautiful”, “We Shall Overcome”, “My Country Tis of Thee”, and “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” In essence, “Anthem to US” will create a modern piece that connects with a new-age audience. Notably, this latest chant is to be a reflection of today’s society, echoing our collective hopes, struggles, and untold histories.
Regulations
Interested participants of all ages have until Tuesday, February 6 at 11:59 pm eastern time to submit their vision for an anthem. Following, up to 160 selected participants will embark on an immersive three-part writing workshop series led by experienced instructors. The workshops will explore themes, song structures and melodies across diverse styles. Furthermore, three applicants will advance to collaborate with composers, including Damien L. Sneed, Jaime Lozano, Martha Redbone and Aaron Whitby, to craft a finished piece.
This project aims to transform the way we create meaningful art by inviting the public to create a piece reflective of their own stories and experiences living in the United States. Music and the written word have always had the power to help us face challenging realities, celebrate moments of triumph and, in the best cases, art fosters unity in the face of divisions.
– László Jakab Orsós, Vice President of Arts and Culture, Brooklyn Public Library.
Selection Process
Eight anthem lyrics (one per workshop series) will emerge from the workshops, and a panel will select three outstanding sets of lyrics from that bunch. Additionally, the three final participants and their anthem lyrics will team-up with composers who will craft a final composition between May and June 2024. The final participants will then showcase their anthems with performances at Brooklyn Public Library and Lincoln Center on Saturday, July 6, 2024.
Furthermore, interested candidates can find more information on the “Anthem to US” official website.
Benny The Butcher releases long-awaited Def Jam studio album, Everybody Can’t Go. Since claiming on X that he would have the best hip hop album on Def Jam since DMX’s debut, Benny has released timely singles in anticipation of the new project. First came the Lil Wayne assisted “Big Dog,” which offered a glimpse into Benny’s renewed vigor and flow.
Moreover, The Black Soprano Family head honcho followed up with “One Foot In” featuring Stove God Cooks, reminding listeners that he hadn’t gone away from his roots. Lastly, Benny released “BRON,” as a final single where he muscles his way into the spotlight with his emphatic delivery.
Everybody Can’t Go: What to Expect
Overall, Benny has delivered 12 tracks produced entirely by Hit-Boy and Alchemist, with a mix of trunk thumpers and soul searching samples as Benny showcases the newfound duality in his music. However, the Buffalo native remains determined not to sell himself out as a result of his Def Jam deal. For instance, as he expands his songwriting and beat selection, the Grammy-nominated street general has made sure to maintain his musical identity. Rather than go for a catchy radio single, Everybody Can’t Go sees Benny challenge himself by trying different cadences, flows and rapping on beats that don’t fit into his gritty, east coast persona.
Furthermore, Benny’s promotional tactics and music video’s have went up another level, surely the benefactor of working on a major label budget. Additionally, Everybody Can’t Go features some of the biggest names in hip hop. Produced entirely by Hit-Boy and Alchemist, the project sees appearances from Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg and Jadakiss. In like manner, fans are treated to the Griselda linkup between Benny, Conway the Machine and Westside Gunn. Like Benny and Snoop rap on “Back Again,” Everybody Can’t Go signifies that the authentic gangster/street rappers are back to making a mark on the music industry.
The “Johnny P’s Caddy” rapper has put together an honest project that despite the commonplace rapper braggadocio is an ode to self-belief, perseverance and hard-work.
PEAK has dropped the third installment in their ongoing live series, with Hot Clips Volume 3, released on January 5.
Culled from performances in 2023, Hot Clips Volume 3 features some of the band’s favorite recent performances. Specifically, this album shows what the band – Jeremy Hilliard (guitar and vocals), Johnny Young (keys and vocals), Josh T. Carter (bass and vocals), Kito Bovenschulte (drums), Nate Searing (drums on “Idyllwild Flower”) – are looking for in a jam of group interaction, transcendent moments that come naturally and without force, and happen organically.
Mixed and Mastered by Johnny Young and Jeremy Hilliard and engineered by Michelle Young, the songs range from older PEAK staples to unreleased tracks appearing on the next studio album. Covers on the album include a reimagined version of Woody Guthrie’s “Pastures of Plenty,” and a stretched-out take on the Led Zeppelin classic “The Song Remains the Same.”

LaMP, featuring Russ Lawton, Scott Metzger and Ray Paczkowski has announced a 10-date Spring tour across the East Coast with stops in the Northeast, Mid Atlantic and Southeast.
Kicking off in April, the run is in addition to two previously announced March shows in Denver and Boulder.
LaMP formed in 2018 for a handful of one-off performances in Vermont. The chemistry between the three was immediate, resulting in a heavy groove, soul jazz sound with plenty of deep funk and technical prowess to spare. During the pandemic, they’d record and release their first studio album. It wasn’t until 2023, however, that the organ/guitar/drums trio found time in their busy schedules to focus energy on LaMP as a priority.
The trio’s musical commitments are far reaching: Metzger is an in-demand studio guitarist and member of Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, while Lawton and Paczkowski have their own duo Soule Monde and are original members of the Trey Anastasio Band. With both live and studio albums in the works and 12 shows planned for the Spring, LaMP five years from their inception is clearly just getting started.
We hit the Northeast pretty hard last Fall and the response was just incredible, lots of big crowds and sold out shows. So we decided that in the Spring it would be fun to play more around those same parts, but to instead find cool rooms outside of the big cities and bring the music to the people in spots a little more off the beaten path.

Today marks the anniversary of the final show of one of the earliest Grateful Dead side projects. Lead guitarist Jerry Garcia along with Howard Wales delivered one last live interpretation of their jazz-rock fusion album Hooteroll to an audience at the University of Buffalo on this day in 1972. Wales, an avant-garde keyboard player, helped compose all songs on the album which was released the previous year.
The Buffalo gig ended a string of shows played at smaller venues in the Northeast, including one at Syracuse University the week before. While Jerry Garcia may have been the main draw, this tour is also renowned for introducing many to The Mahavishnu Orchestra for the first time, a burgeoning live act with the great Jon McLaughlin on guitar who opened the shows and, according to some bystanders, blew the main act off the stage sometimes.
But Garcia and Wales would get the final word each night with extended takes on Hooteroll, playing alongside Jerry Love on drums, Jimmy Vincent on guitar, and Roger Troy (aka Jellyroll) on bass and vocals, with the group announced as “Howard Wales and Friends.” Unfortunately, no known recordings of tonight’s performance exist, but this excellent one from the show three nights before in Boston paints a clear picture of what transpired at these shows, with the band immediately launching into the frenzied, organ-driven jam “Southside Strut,” the first track of the album, then going off from there.
The music never comes to a complete stop as the band weaves in and out of different tempos and arrangements, although mixing up the songs from the order in which they appear on the album. A section called “Outer Space Regions” completely lives up to its billing before a soul-heavy “Carry Me Back” with Jellyroll on vocals re-energizes everything. Another selection from the album, “DC 502” surrounds a verified “Drums” section as well later on. See Youtube for a full setlist. The entire show is essentially a long, enjoyable 90-minute jam that covers all of Hooteroll and then some.

Before being played in Buffalo and the Northeast, the seeds of Hooteroll were planted in San Francisco, as Garcia and Wales wound up performing at Monday night jam sessions at The Matrix. This would also be where Jerry met bassist John Kahn for the first time, marking the beginning of their long time partnership. For Jerry, the appeal of this outfit was the ability to play in a more relaxed context than Dead shows. Wales was a serious musician, and Jerry had to work hard to keep up with him, which he would say did more for his ear than anyone else he played with.
Howard didn’t have tunings or anything, he just played. Sometimes he would do these things that were so outside that you just couldn’t – unless you knew where it was going, you had no idea where to start. Sometimes they’d turn out to be just these things like four-bar blues turnarounds, relatively simple musical things, but they were so extended the way he’d play them – ‘God, what is this?’
~ Jerry Garcia, 1991 Interview
With the Hooteroll tour now concluded, Garcia would next turn his attention to a string of shows with another longtime collaborator, Merl Saunders, back home in the San Francisco area.
Emo Orchestra, an orchestral group that specializes in combining with emo music, has announced their spring tour to take place beginning April 17, along with emo-rock band Escape the Fate. The groups will get together to perform their original tracks, as well as emo classics from bands like My Chemical Romance, Panic! At The Disco, and more.
Emo Orchestra in 2023
The tour will begin in Cincinnati, Ohio on April 17, and end May 24 in Portland, Oregon. Along the way, the acts will stop in New York for three dates. Troy Savings Bank Music Hall, Rome Capitol Theatre, and Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts will all be visited on the tour.
“We are so grateful to have been invited by EO to participate in this tour, we have been on the road almost 20 years now so to do something this different and special is very exciting for us as artists and we hope it’s just as exciting for you. I can’t wait to meet and perform with a full orchestra and not only play our songs but some classic personal favorites of mine from other artists, don’t forget to dress fancy. Thank you, EO”

The Town Ballroom in Buffalo was set ablaze with raw energy and pulsating rhythms on January 23, as four powerhouse bands – Avoid, Counterparts, The Devil Wears Prada, and Fit For A King – took to the stage for a sold-out show on a rainy Tuesday night. Fans from across the city gathered in anticipation of a night that promised to be nothing short of epic, and they were not disappointed.
Fit For a King
Kicking off the evening with a relentless onslaught of hardcore energy, Avoid, got to work getting the crowd but the first thing that stood out before the music got underwear was the singer repping a local city hero, #17, Josh Allen from the Buffalo Bills with his Jersey.
Avoid
Going up next with a relentless onslaught of hardcore energy, Counterparts wasted no time in setting the tone for the night. Hailing from Ontario, Canada, the band delivered a blistering set that had the crowd moshing and screaming along to every word. With their signature blend of melodic hooks and ferocious breakdowns, Counterparts proved why they are considered one of the most exciting acts in the hardcore scene today.
Next up was metalcore stalwarts The Devil Wears Prada, who took the stage by storm with their electrifying stage presence and infectious energy. Drawing from their extensive catalog of hits spanning over a decade, the band treated fans to a set filled with fan favorites and new material alike. From the haunting melodies of “Sacrifice” to the crushing heaviness of “Danger: Wildman,” The Devil Wears Prada delivered a performance that left the crowd in awe.
The Devil Wears Prada
Closing out the night at Town Ballroom were metalcore juggernauts Fit For A King, who wasted no time in unleashing a sonic assault that left the audience reeling. With their bone-crushing riffs and anthemic choruses, the band commanded the stage with authority, inciting mass sing-alongs and frenzied circle pits throughout their set. Tracks “Tower of Pain” and “When Everything Means Nothing” hit with visceral intensity, showcasing the band’s undeniable skill and musicianship.
But beyond just the music, what truly made the night special was the palpable sense of camaraderie between the bands and their fans. From the shared shouts of the famous Buffalo chant “Let’s go Buffalo!” to the sweaty embraces in the pit, it was clear that this was more than just a concert – it was a community coming together to celebrate the power of music.
A hallmark event in the North Country of New York, the 2024 Saranac Lake Winter Carnival will kick off later this week, starting February 1 through February 11.
