Just Dropped:
CITY GIRLS DOCUMENTARY

City Girls’ uncensored documentary produced by Quality Control Music in partnership with Mass Appeal hits today! Directed by Marcus A. Clarke, the documentary Point Blank Period follows Quality Control’s newly signed artists as they break into a predominantly male-dominated industry with their debut album. Exclusive interviews with City Girls’ Yung Miami and J.T., as well as industry trailblazers Trina, Kevin “Coach K” Lee and Pierre “Pee” Thomas, expose the complicated road to breaking female artists in the changing music landscape.
Reverb Nation Spotlight:
Too many guitars to be pop. Too many electronic blooms to be rock. Too many live drums to be electronica. Chicago’s SNST (Sunset) create a meld of disparate genres with their sound that does something rare these days: sound unique. Read all about them here.
