Diving into those immortal hits.
Even after all this time the majesty of
Daryl Hall and
John Oates has yet to dim.
The pair s deft fusion of rock, pop, and (especially) soul resulted in astronomical success, up-ending the music industry in the process.
New generations are uncovering the duo s work, with their single You Make My Dreams Come True enjoying perennial success.
Recently smashing through the billion stream barrier, it s clear that Daryl Hall and John Oates are capable of reaching new audiences with each passing day.
Clash linked up Daryl Hall with super-fan (and super-producer)
Mark Ronson for Personality Clash, and the two picked apart those golden hits.

Let’s start with something frivolous for once: Philly football (because how serious can anybody on that team – front office or backfield be – what with the stupid decisions they’ve all made since their last Super Bowl win) and the hiring of young Nick Sirianni as the Philadelphia Eagles new head coach.
One, is there really a whiff of racism to be smelt and dealt among the Eagles executive branch, as is rumored, considering how longtime Eagles assistant head coach Duce Staley got passed over for the top job, not once, but, twice? The Duce rocks, and if he was passed over due to any quotas or agendas beyond winning, fuck them. No wonder he’s asked to be released from his contract. The Detroit Lions certainly had no problem hiring the Duce.
Dell-P has been called “the best kept secret of hip hop” by XXL Magazine. But, as more people hear his music, he won’t be a secret for long.
A West Philadelphia native who isn’t afraid to create his own lane and refuses to conform to the new wave, Dell-P has a lot of great things currently happening for him, as well as on the horizon.
Already, Dell-P is the 2017 Philly Hip Hop Awards Album of the Year Award winner, the 2017 PHL Live Hip Hop Artist Of The Year, a 2017 Black Gala Award winner, a 2017 Black Power Music Award nominee, a 2018 dual Spiral Award winner (Album Of The Year and Artist Of The Year), the 2020 Spiral Award winner (Artist Of The Year), and 2020 Indie Music Award winner for Album Of The Year and Single Of The Year. He’s also been named one of hip-hop’s Hottest Independent Artists of 2020 by Source Magazine.

So, is it me, or do you, too, feel as if this year is as thoroughly hateful as the last?
What’s changed but a single number on the calendar? There was no real demarcation to signal the shift – no fireworks, no parade.
We’ve entered the vacuum of 2021 to incessant, cold rain. There’s the bitterer, chillier pill of waiting until the 15th for everything to open indoors – even then: WHY BOTHER? Nobody’s getting COVID-19 shots. Eagles’ chieftain Doug Pederson is still here through the next season, a promise and a threat. If we dine outside, rather than inside, we are foodie-forced to commit to that eerie, uncalming hum generated by sizzling, high-wattage heat lamps. (No. Seriously. If you’re not noticeably hearing them, yet find yourself ordering white, potato-based items you normally would not, because like, you know, CARBS, those scary, buzzing lamps that unsuspectingly fry the top of your head are weaving their hidden magic).
