Maybe I’m the anomaly, but I think we’ve reached the vanishing where our collective ears would agree that music like this isn’t solely reserved for festival goers raging at sunrise. Here lies a remix […]
| Action Bronson & Riff Raff Bring the Cocaine Nail Job | September 16, 2013 |
Max Bell is doing Jamaican dances. Sequels rarely live up to the original. For every Blues Brothers there’s a Blues Brothers 2000. You hope for the best yet end up disappointed, admiring the intent more than the product itself. Really, it’s a matter of capturing the spur of the moment, recording the perfect combination of […]
“Fresh as a synagogue.” JODY HiGHROLLER — the most influential punctuation potentate since ee cummings — reveals that his Versace perm game is superior to his Bar Mitzvah game.

| Boat Racing: Riff Raff & Earl Sweatshirt’s “Yacht Lash” | April 30, 2013 |
Sometimes Riff Raff’s lyrics remind me of an ether binge from Fear and Loathing, except rather than HST, we have Jamie Franko, a devotee of Versace, sushi and Pimp C. Lizards are everywhere and they’re tilted sideways and rocking designer fabrics. If Riff has not had a cameo on Loiter Squad, the universe remains imbalanced. […]

| Riff Raff – Rabies in Seattle | October 10, 2012 |
Riff Raff is not going anywhere, hopefully. Every week there’s another video, a hilarious interview, or a new song that will have a video shortly. The man is a machine. Some might even call him the golden alien. Though it looks like Riff has problems closing Versace eyelids these days. It might be due to a […]
