Nas @ Madison Square Garden
His place and his legacy was on full display at that moment. It's something at least 90% of the world will never experience. But as the setlist went on, so too did the performance bring out more of Nas. He was coming into his own as everything continued to great success.
CRYPTODIRA @ AMITYVILLE MUSIC HALL
With every song, I started to find myself wondering what type of different sound would show up. What would be the next genre incorporated into this song? Would it turn into almost a Linkin Park type of vibe, like I got in my favorite on the setlist, on “A Tendency to Fall” I wasn’t alone in being impressed with the transitions and incorporations from the band. Being in the crowd I could audibly hear the occasional “oh nah that's crazy” or “Ohhh” like they’re Young M.A. When something like this is done right, it's undeniable.
Nas - King’s Disease: Countdown To MSG
The high-level storytelling on this album is almost enraging. Nas has always been one to use personal experiences, but also create stories expertly to lay out exactly what he's trying to say. He speaks with such description, yet it comes off so effortless. Even though, just as anyone who has tried rapping over “type” YouTube beats will tell you, it's even harder than you think.
Scared20 @ Stereo Garden
Not only are they great musicians, but the show was genuinely funny. The comedy wasn’t forced or scripted. It bled like it was a group of friends just having fun, hanging out in public with no worries about hiding their personalities.
Chastity @ Shakers Pub
A propane tank, a jug of water, and a metal baseball bat, with the backdrop of the Sachem North flag literally set the stage. Band members adorned with clown masks, looking like the last thing you see before a wrong turn during the purge.

2022 Recap: An Unexpected Year
Music quality comes in waves. One year could be one of the greatest in a musical genre. Then the next could be subpar. Some can start on the biggest of highs and then plummet by the time October comes around. 2022 was not one of those years.
Incendiary @ Amityville Music Hall
Small venues can make or break a show. It is impossible to hide a dead crowd. But when it's live, it's really live. Incendiary’s performance at Amityville Music Hall could not be mistaken for a dead crowd with low energy.
