Posted by Scott Willats Wow — feels like we haven’t had a Sweets for quite some time. First there was the whole Coachella thing, and then last week was a bit of a write-off. Time to get back into it! I’ve got a lot to catch up on, but only the newest for you. Leh-go! Start off with a heater. Designer Drugs have been informating us for quite some time, via Twitter and Facebook, that PLS DNT STP drop some of the hardest tunez out there. So what could be better than PLS DNT STP … [Read more...]
Weekend Wrap-up
March 18, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Posted by Scott Willats Kind of a calm-before-the-storm weekend. Not that much new stuff dropped — but what did definitely raise some eyebrows. First was a quick video teaser from Zeds Dead.

Oh Dillon, where art thou? Sadly, I was left spurned and heartbroken. And as you can see on you could see on his … [Read more...]
