Lil Yachty & Sada Baby – “Not Regular”
Detroit underground-rap firebreather Sada Baby has been on an unholy tear for years now, and it looks like it’s finally starting to pay off. Sada’s recent track “Whole Lotta Choppas” has been blowing up on TikTok, and Nicki Minaj just jumped on a remix a few days ago. Today, Sada has followed up on that […]

Oily Boys – “Virgo Season” & “Priest In A Hatchback”
Oily Boys are a Sydney band who make raw, spluttery, ugly hardcore punk that sometimes veers off into psychedelic noise-rock territory. (They share members with Low Life, who had the impressive post-punk album Downer Edn last year.) Oily Boys have been around for the better part of a decade, but they only just got around […]
The Staves – "Good Woman"
Although the Staves teamed with the neoclassical ensemble yMusic for an album called The Way Is Read in 2017 (now retroactively billed as an EP), it’s been more than five years since their last proper Staves LP, 2015’s spellbinding, Justin Vernon-produced If I Was. It’ll be close to six when the next one finally arrives […]
