Call me old-fashioned, but I like it when rappers make rap albums. Nothing in this life is certain, but I feel pretty confident when I say that Buffalo beast Conway The Machine will never put out an LP of soft-batch house music. Instead, Conway continues to craft hard scrunch-face shit-talk, and he’s extremely good at […]

Brockhampton – “Hollywood Swinging” (Kool & The Gang Cover)
A little over a month ago, details emerged about the Jack Antonoff-helmed Minions: The Rise Of Gru soundtrack.

Rico Nasty – “Black Punk”
Nothing in this life is guaranteed, but if Rico Nasty comes out with a new song called “Black Punk,” then you should probably listen to that song. Rico has messed around with a lot of different styles over the years, but her bedrock is chaotic, energy-charged mosh music, and her latest track locks right into […]

Earlier in the week, SBTRKT (aka UK producer Aaron Jerome) teased his first new music in six years with a trailer titled “Bodmin Moor Prequel.” Featuring Seyan Patel and Chaneil Kular (Sex Education), the brief clip portrayed a young boy (Patel) wearing a cat-like mask and unfurling what could be a giant map or set […]

You’ve got to love a good posse cut. The New York producer Powers Pleasant has been a key part of a bunch of them. Powers co-founded Brooklyn’s Pro Era crew with Joey Bada$$ and Capital STEEZ. He’s produced a bunch of tracks for those guys and their extended Beast Coast crew, and he’s also produced […]
