I hear people say that other people say that breaking's dead. Whatever. Haters can step up and just say their thing without making it out to be a blanket statement. What started in the 70s and 80s is now on dance shows on TV, and crews are battling all over the world. It's underground...

On last week’s SM-centric episode of Studio 5, Grace counted down our ten favorite Girls’ Generation music videos, from the girls’ debut single, “Into the New World,” all the way to their latest chart-topping release, …

Everyone and their mothers attended this year’s 2011 MAMA Awards, and the night was filled with awkward kisses, legs, collaborations, and all kinds of great random moments. All of Asia’s hottest stars were in attendance, …

Strangeloop's name describes his sound well. The Brainfeeder artist is one of Flying Lotus' old boys from the Academy of Arts in San Francisco, where the two shared an affinity for classic video games and experimental film. Soon after, Strangeloop became a multiformat artist, experimenting with

Happy Friday everyone! It's time to vote for MTV Iggy’s Artist of the Week! Here’s our roundup of our Bands We Like columns this week. You have until Monday night at 11:59 p.m. USA Eastern Standard Time to vote for your favorite, using the bottom poll! On Tuesday morning, the crowned artist will

Canada's producer/DJ Lunice is hard at work doctoring the art of hip hop. His cheeky tracks hearken hip hop's so-called Golden Age in the 80s and 90s, but they come with rich compositions that draw a definitive line between the wannabes and the real musicians. The hip hop musician just dropped a

You voted hard, and the results are in! Afro-Latin bass group World Hood is MTV Iggy's Artist of the Week. Congratulations guys! The smooth, bilingual bass and occasional dub co-minglings on their self-titled debut LP are the embodiment of chill. Estrella Sanchez tops off these widely varying

Last week, we brought you very, very short tastes of Arcade Fire's upcoming 12" singles -- "Suburbs" and "Month of May." Back then we described them as such: “Suburbs” seems like typical Arcade Fire — a plunky piano jam you could imagine playing in hipster dive bars all over the world; “Month of

Young producers we love from Montreal: 1. Lunice 2. Kenlo Craqnuques 3. Shash'u (new!) This kid spins his sound out of 8bit, dubstep, hip hop, and a general love for jittery-ness. He's a drummer with a knack for instruments, not that there's a hint of actual playing in any of his available tracks.

Back when we were at SXSW earlier this year, we did an interview with Atlanta, Georgia rockers Gringo Star. Amazing (or ridiculous, depending on whether or not you like puns... we like puns) band name aside, the southern blues/rock quartet has been garnering acclaim from the Onion's AV Club, Spin,

I can't stand music that is made to feed the masses... fast food and music, are a dangerous combination.... like crack cocaine and pizza. Inspiration comes from the strangest places - sometimes very dark and hairy ones. ...

After one of the most heated votes in MTV Iggy history, the Montagnard rapper Mondega is officially our Artist of the Week! It's well-deserved. The Vietnam transplant (he lives in North Carolina, USA) not only has a fascinating story that includes abject poverty and jail time -- he drops impeccable

Ango's EP is coming out in time for summer. As soon as it's warm, overly mirthful music stops being annoying and becomes the soundtrack to shorts-wearing, cold beer swigging fun. I'm guessing Ango's got Wild Styles and Beat Street in constant DVD rotation. The Montreal beatmaker feels no guilt in

“Baagi Music” is far from the only ultra-catchy song that Sikh Knowledge has put together for Humble. “Life of an Immigrant,” for example, rides a deft interpolation of GZA’s “Killah Hills10304” with “Ya Rayah,” the Algerian classic about emigration and exile. But “Baagi” is the undisputed anthem,

Spring - Seoul, 2003: I start watching Korean music channels and get my first real exposure to K-pop music: hot girls, pretty boys, and a lot of dancing. “It’s like a fourth generation Xerox copy of American bubblegum pop,” I tell a friend. Six years later, I can’t get the Wonder Girls’ “Nobody”

Taiwanese pop star Jay Chou has more talent than we can keep track of. He's an amazing singer, a music video director, a business owner, he even has his own brand. Now, he's on the Hollywood screen kicking some serious a$$ in the movie The Green Hornet with comedy actor Seth Rogen. But before I

You play soul/jazz/big band stuff with the Shrines and explore a more punk/garage side with the BBQ. Is there any other style/genre you'd like to tackle that doesn't have an outlet yet? In the past two years, I have recorded a gospel record with the Almighty Defenders, a new full length "Bollywood

What’s cuter than a tiny little mechanical homeless kitty stealing your tiny little pennies? Why a tiny little mechanical homeless puppy doing the same thing! You can buy it at the

This is one ironic situation. A pop music fable. A tale of what goes wrong when you cross borders. Senegal's Akon, who's touring Asia, was set to hop into Sri Lanka and throw a dance party on April 20th.
