Rather than becoming preoccupied with the past, and worrying about the future, Brooklyn's rising talent, Saga, knows that the only way to successfully move through life, and efficiently adapt to change, is by carefully anticipating his next move. "Eye," the third video taken from Saga's debut effort, From Out of the Shadows, brings forth his efforts as an artist that can rock with both street wise hustlers, and story-rap purists.

As he drops a barrage of lyrics over a delicate piano riff and snappy drums, produced by the Brooklyn by way of Toronto beatsmith, Marco Polo, Saga gives us a glimpse of Chinatown's beauty, bouncing between bright open alleyways, and dark storefronts illumi

Very Few Words with Action Bronson The RAPstation Interview By Kyle Eustice Action Bronson is a busy, busy man. The Flushing, Queens native has exploded onto the rap scene after dropping his 2011 debut, Dr. Lecter.

Despite all of his musical accolades, he's also shining in the kitchen. The former gourmet chef landed a Vice online cooking show, Fuck, That's Delicious, which has really taken off. All in all, Bronson is living the dream. While his lyrics may not resonate with everybody (they can be pretty brutal), he definitely has an ear for beats. As he was making his way from Coachella to Miami, Action Bronson ha

Sleep  The RAPstation Interview By Kyle Eustice Before Christopher Tafoya was even 4-feet tall, he knew he wanted to be an emcee.

Sapient The RAPstation Interview If you Google "Sapient, rapper," the first hit is the Portland, Oregon-based emcee's official website. Underneath the URL it reads, "The views of this website are cosigned by the gawds. If you're not feeling it, you can go behead thyself." Ladies and gentleman, meet Sapient, one of indie rap's most sarcastic emcees. The Sandpeople member and other half of Debaser (a duo also part of Sandpeople), Sapient (real name Marcus Williams) isn't your typical rapper. In fact, he's grown a lot over the past 10 years, especially since becoming a husband and a father. In an article he penned for the Huffington Post, he writes, "Immersing myself in hip-hop culture obviously meant partaking in that dominant, 'I'm better than you' bravado and the 'I don't gi
