Nine installments were uploaded this year, all of which were epic in their own ways. The editorial staff has ranked these installments based on a variety of factors, including character selection, the overall beat, the raps, and the finished product. 9. Freddy Krueger v. Wolverine  The rap battle between one of […]

COMMENTARY: Political New Year’s resolutions for 2020

I wrote a Letter to the Editor which was sent out to roughly a dozen publications over the weekend, but only one took the time to publish it. I feel it was appropriate to share: As we enter a new year, a new decade and yet another election cycle, the ongoing question from fed-up voters keep ringing in my mind: “Why don’t we have other candidates running for office? These candidates on the ballot are awful!”   It’s an easy […]

EDITORIAL: Twitter, Spotify choose to be losers in 2020 election ad race while Facebook, Google cash in

Presidential candidates running for the role of commander-in-chief have spent more than $105 million on digital ads to date. Facebook and Google have received a lion's share of the ad revenue. Twitter chose to opt-out for the 2020 presidential election, and just recently, Spotify decided to opt-out as well. This is despite political organizations like the campaign of Bernie Sanders and the Republican National Committee who previously utilized the platform's paid ad network. With billionaires in the presidential race, such […]

Heartland Newsfeed Podcast Network: Bedroom Beethovens (047: Marco Polo)

Toronto born, Brooklyn based Hip Hop Producer Marco Polo is an absolute legend. On episode 47, I run the gamut of growing up in Canada to venturing to New York to intern and start the networking journey that would eventually land him placement on hip hop heavyweight albums. As an assistant Engineer at renowned recording studio, The Cutting Room, Marco honed technical skills and got to know some of the rap game’s finest as he refined his production. We chat […]

Heartland Newsfeed Podcast Network: Bedroom Beethovens (046: Dr. Doppler)

Lofi returns in another episode of the podcast, emerging from the great swamp of New Jersey. Dr.Doppler and I chat about his recent experiments, ranging from his new beat tape “FLIPS & BUMPS” to Ray Gun Tony to creating music in his dorm room so many years ago. In the shadow of the lo-fi hip-hop backlash, a number of artists are trying to bring shape and story back to downtempo music. So we continue the narrative as we then dive […]

COMMENTARY: Trump impeachment set to be another waste of taxpayer dollars

I will be the first to admit that I'm no fan of President Donald J. Trump. I was so disgusted with the duopoly's candidate-throat-shoving via the GOP's Trump and the Democrats' Hillary Clinton. I voted for Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson without hesitation because I'm beyond disgusted with both major parties. The current attempts in the House to impeach Trump with a full vote expected before the end of the 2019 session can be somewhat equated to the 1998 impeachment of […]

COMMENTARY: Elections limited to two-party system is unhealthy

Uncontested elections are even worse Petitioning recently ended for the members of the political duopoly for their upcoming primary election in Illinois taking place on March 17, 2020. Only in two counties was a political party that was neither Democrat nor Republican allowed to slate candidates for their own partisan primary. Libertarians in McLean and Kankakee counties recently filed their petitions for their own party primary. It's bad enough when your choices are often limited to Democrat or Republican, but […]

Skillicorn, GOP colleagues call for special legislative session to tackle ethics reform

SPRINGFIELD (Heartland Newsfeed) -- Several members of the Republican caucus are calling for a special session in order to bring ethics reform to the General Assembly, but it doesn't seem likely it will happen this month. State Rep. Allen Skillicorn (R-Crystal Lake) recently called for a special session on Twitter, citing that "ending the culture of corruption" is key and "is not rocket science." Skillicorn and four other colleagues -- Brad Halbrook (R-Shelbyville), Blaine Wilhour (R-Beecher City), Chris Miller (R-Oakland) […]
