Fluent recruits the best of different worlds on this guitar driven beat by J Cardim. Here we have Kaze and Guilty Simpson who display their individual huts story for y’all to hear on wax. On paper it’s definitely something out of the blue but I tell you, it works on wax.

What can I say, Fluent’s project sounds dope even though it’s just two singles deep!!

Nothing can separate a hustler and his paper chase. Sure, temptations may arise, but at the end of the day, you’ll be one step closer than before. For all of..

Odd Future’s right hand men Hodgy Beats and Left Brain are back to give us what we all have been waiting for with the Independence Day release of MellowHype‘s INSA (I Need Some Answers). Take advantage of copping this album, as the duo has dropped the project for free! Yes, ladies and gents, for the second time, these cats have been generous enough to just give you good music, feeding you what hip hop needs again.

To help kick off the festivities, here’s the video for Nowadays, off of the INSA creation shot by by High5collective.

After his recent activity, Illa Ghee‘s releases his LP ‘Social Graffiti’. I must say that this is something I have been patiently waiting for as his previous joints were nothing less than stellar. The vintage production from Large Professor, Crummie Beats, George Black et al. help seal the deal with the direction Illa Ghee takes the listener. The guest list alone will surely attract heads from left, right and centre.

Tune in and get with the program.

Longtime Brooklynite lyricist Illa Ghee is pleased to release his third solo full length LP,Social Graffiti, through his IMOR Entertainment. The RIAA Certified..

A lot of you guys will watch IQ’s video for Rita LeVoe and think ‘What is all this?’, and if that happens then the video has achieved its purpose. This is made to make you think and get your brain active in the sense. IQ (which stands for ‘Intentionally Quaint’ not ‘Intelligent Quotient’), an interesting name for an artist, put us up on some things with this track. He makes his own beats as well as rapping, thus bringing the package all in one – and this he does independently too. This is a ‘chill-mode activated’-type track and I am loving it…

‘Dear Chance’ is the type of song that more than likely will never make it to the big leagues. Before you think ‘This is a player hater’, what I’m getting at is the fact that its been a while since one song spoke so much hard truth in the present world, where essence is lacking. What emcee Read Richarts spits about here is what floods our screens on the daily as we see desperation take its toll. The song preaches so I don’t need to do it. Following this video is his EP called Irrelevant available for download now. On the..

To translate loosely, ‘Ipada Abija’ means the return of the beaten-but-not-defeated one, and this means the heat is on. Shout out to Brotha Leee for crafting the pictorials for this one and Xyz for the mean backing track. Mi-FLISS is definitely pushing forward, though its been a while. Dude reminds me of Jay Electronica - and we keep hoping he eventually drops his album. While we wait, enjoy the video. Who says hip-hop doesn’t exist in other languages if the beat and flows are perfect? Act like you know…

Remember we told you there was a spectacular collaboration in the works between Bishop Nehru and MF DOOM? Well, the manifestation is what you see in this visual offering. Typical of DOOM when he collaborates with people to carve a moniker for the partnership, NehruvianDOOM which is the name they go by hit us with this video and introduces us to their off kilter sound and imagery. I have mad respect for Bishop Nehru because while his peers are chasing the limelight, he is trying to be different and this only speaks for his more than likely longevity in..
