Kimya Dawson has released a song about Aesop Rock's emotional abuse towards her

-
This is almost two weeks old but I didn't see any discussion about it here so I thought it was worth sharing. It is NOT released in relation to Aesop having a new album coming out, as this was uploaded before he had announced or made any teasers. The song, Whisperers , was posted alongside a caption that read "I’m not self righteous and I’m not perfect by any means. I don’t expect perfection from anyone but I’d like to see some real fucking effort. I have done fucked up things in my life that I will regret forever but I recognize that and that remorse helps me grow and do better. It’s fucking hard. I know that. And I don’t want an apology. I don’t care who gets dropped or cancelled. I want dudes to stop being the gatekeepers who enable abusive behavior.

HHW Tech Review: Skullcandy Dime True Wireless Earbuds Offer Quality Sound For Under $30

Source: Bernard Smalls / Skullcandy Dime Earbuds A pair of good wireless earbuds for under $30? Sounds crazy, right? Well, Skullcandy definitely has managed to pull it off. The American-based audio brand announced the Dime True Wireless Earbuds back in March , describing the $25 accessory as “mini and mighty” while boasting some impressive specs you would find on pair of $50 wireless earbuds. We got a chance to try them out, and we walked away quite impressed. Design & Quality Source: Bernard Smalls / Skullcandy Dime True Wireless Earbuds Immediately in hand, you can tell the Dime True Wireless Earbuds are $25. The cheap plastic build of the case and buds is a dead giveaway and, frankly, one of the cons with Skullcandy’s latest earbuds.
