North Carolina's 'Deniro Farrar' dropped two solid projects last year. Titled Mind of a Gemini and Red Book Vol. 1 respectively, each showcased Farrar's wise perceptions on life as well as his unique deep voice. 'Mankind' was released back in December on the Red Book...
One of Kairi Chanel's top cuts gets a video. Love the nod to Nas on here - shouts to Mass Appeal as well. 100% check out the full album out if you haven't yet. New York to a T. image via Mass Appeal & Nas - Benny...
After hearing his last freestyle, I don't know if I can handle another Royce track. They're just too nasty. No one should be able to flow that nice while making it sound so easy. Just not fair. Definitely going to sort all these freestyles into...
Latest project from the Ugly Mane. This time he goes under the name 'Bedwetter' - been looking forward to listening to this. More important than the album however is the letter Ugly Mane posted on Facebook regarding his experience with the current American mental healthcare...
Fahim BODIES this eeire production. Damn. Haven't heard a track yet that he hasn't torn up. Diggin' the title of the song too. Fits the vibe. Fans of Westside Gunn and Conway should peep this. Shouts Animoss on the beat. image via The God Fahim...
Multi-talented Atlanta musician Matt Martians released his solo debut album today. After checking the project out, I definitely can say I dig it. Martians can carry a track on his own - but it was also nice to see fellow Internet members Syd and Steve...
Cali producer 'Barclay Crenshaw' (a.k.a. Claude VonStroke) just dropped his first ever album under his legal name. This cut with Mikey and Chuck also marks the third Cool Kids track we've heard since their reunion, and it's quite funky and experimental as a whole. Make...
I only have one thing to say: cold. Thinking back to the YC the Cynic days and comparing them to now is pretty astonishing. Dude went from an underground Soundcloud up-and-comer to a Kendrick co-signed, veteran-sounding master of ceremony in just the span of a...
If I'm being honest, this is the project I am looking forward to the most today. After seeing the features a few weeks back, how could I not!? Black Milk, Exile, Nottz, Elzhi, L'Orange, !llmind, Quelle Chris, Homeboy Sandman, Apollo Brown, Rappin-4-Tay and more all...
Never heard of this MC actually, but had to peep cause of the Kaytranada production. He usually only works with the best of the best, and I have to say - this was pretty sick. Phelps rides the beat with a clean flow and it...
Politically inspired solo cut from KXNG Crooked. I dig the concept, beat (shouts to whoever made it) and Crook's voice on this joint. Relevant, well-executed and true to the pillars. Top-tier MC. image via KXNG Crooked & the kid from the meme - Benny P...
New York hip hop artist Elucid just released a full-length project titled Valley of Grace. Here's a blurb he wrote about his time in South Africa recording the album - pretty cool stuff: "US Customs agent: Where are you arriving from? Me: Johannesburg, South Africa US Customs agent:...
(The Beatles) Migos long-awaited second studio album has finally dropped. Lotta hype surrounding this record, deserves the full review treatment. Look for that soon. Congrats to these dudes - no one in the game is doing what they are doing are right now. Excited...
Presented by DJ Butter. The Mass Appeal rep and Detroit wordsmith came through with the bars on this short tape, enjoyed most of the songs. HUGE looks on the Kool G Rap feature too. He's one of the best rappers to ever do it. Here's...
Batting a perfect 10 for 10 now on the Blue Friday Series. Would take one of these songs every week honestly. Between this and All or Nothing: Live it Up, us Banks fans have been eating as of late! image via Lloyd Banks - Benny P...
The Miami rapper takes things slow on this R&B-influenced single. Ty fits the track like a glove - combo works well. Rozay's ninth studio album Rather You Than Me is coming March 17th. Perfect beat for Ross too, shouts to C Gutta and J Pilot...
What a lineup. Daye, DP and Curry have all been carving their own lanes in the Southern hip hop scene these past couple years, but I never would've thought I'd see them link up like this together. Styles are different, but they blend with ease...
D.C. producer 'Destructo' just released this groovy track featuring Bay Area legends E-40 and Too-$hort. 40 flows like water (haha pun) over the EDM-style beat, and $hort brings the vulgar bars as usual. Can see this being a big club/summer song. Let's hope so. Pioneers...
Trapo had a phenomenal year in 2016, and it looks like he's trying to ride the same wave of success this year as well. King Thelonious provides the Wisconsin MC with some upbeat production on here, would love to see them work more in the...
Glad to see that this hard-hitting track got a visual treatment. Out of all the cliques in the history of the game, I think it's undisputed that the Wu-Tang Clan has aged the best. Meth's flow sounds better than ever on here, same with Masta...
