Objets trouvés. Found objects. In the right hands, so to speak, few words are as charged with artistic possibilities. And when the hands are those of someone as ingenious as puppeteer extraordinaire Pablo Cano, whose ¨Pablo Cano: Marionettes as Sculpture¨ exhibition has been extended through the summer at the Coral...
It's not strange that Prodigy of the duo Mobb Deep's second solo release, Return of the Mac, is a gritty, New York-centric quest to maintain order in an increasingly hip-pop driven world.

Heartfelt passionate lyrics about love, loss, and the next emotional crisis dominate Boys Night Out's lyrical landscape. The group's verbal acrobatics are highlighted by intricate musical patterns and saccharine vocal melodies, replete with spot-on harmonization.
