OK, so this is more of an interlude type of track than an actual song, but it’s the best thing I’ve heard all day, hence my dubbing it #songoftheday. What we have here is Earl Sweatshirt rapping about stuff and that’s always plenty to satisfy me. He’s one of the most under-rated rappers in the…

To be honest, I’m surprised that I’m really digging Wise Proof’s “More More More More,” since it’s obviously very much in the trap vein and I’ve had just about all the trap I can stomach. (To me, trap was a cool new sound for about five minutes then it all started sounding the same.) Perhaps…

Well, folks, today we have news from Kanye West… He has tweeted the tracklist for his new album, SWISH, about which he tweeted “so happy to be finished with the best album of all time.” But what the list reads isn’t entirely clear. We see “Waves,” “High Lights,” “80 Hours,” “No More Parties in LA,” “Fade,”…

A little while ago I wrote an article called 5 Rap Artists You Must Hear Now. Or something like that. I’m too busy focusing on this killer song by Apathy to check. But, yes, Apathy was on that list. And, seriously, he’s one of the best rappers out there who isn’t a household name. But…

.And now for something completely different. We have a mix of hip-hop and electronica that’s sure to keep you guessing throughout. It’s unpredictable like that, which is why it’s so awesome. You never know what’s going to happen from one second to the next. But you know one thing from the get go: it’s fresh…

Let’s face it, Drake’s last album, If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late, wasn’t nearly as good as his previous, Nothing Was The Same. The beats didn’t compare and Drake sounded rather uninspired. But we’re thrilled with his new single, “Hotline Bling.” He sounds like his old self and the beats are mighty potent, too.…

Lately, I’ve been checking out a lot of underground rap. I love the latest albums by Kendrick Lamar and A$AP ROCKY, among others, but there are thousands of insanely talented rappers who’ll never get the attention or accolades that they receive, this even though they well-deserve them. Thus, instead of plugging artists you’ve likely checked…

BATZ INDA BELFRY is a duo featuring two of the UK’s best new rappers, Envy and One Da. “Rain” is a highly infectious song from their forthcoming EP Two Fly, which will be released on December 8, 2014 via one of the UK’s hottest indie labels, R*2 Records. This is probably the first time you’re…

We love dark hip-hop around here. Especially the melancholic stuff. And this gem by Vision the Kid and Tru featuring Ben Burwell is oozing with melancholy. We must admit that we weren’t familiar with any of these artists prior to this video, but we’re quite glad that we’re finally in the know. From the slick…
