(NO REST FOR THE WICKED)

You know, as someone who has done literally 365 reviews this year alone, I often question myself ‘what separates the underground from the mainstream?’ And I’m sure you could ask 100 people and get 100 different answers, but for me, the main thing I’ve observed is ‘aura’. The independent and underground naturally have a specialContinue reading “(NO REST FOR THE WICKED)”

(Stay With Me)

Well, I definitely wasn’t expecting this kind of sound. I’ve been dealing with so much grimy, muddy boom bap sounds that I forgot about subgenres like these! Let’s get into it! So, this is the December 2024 release by singer and artist Trxgger_T and runs for two minutes and forty-four seconds. Right off the bat,Continue reading “(Stay With Me)”

(Outside)

It’s been longer than a minute since I covered these two! All the way in February and with the push they made with their album, I had them on my radar and now after several months, they release a fresh single off their upcoming album, so let’s talk about it! So, this song features theContinue reading “(Outside)”

(THE GOOD PARTS)

The day has finally arrived! The 6th Man King Pin has returned to wreck shop on the culture for the second time this year, and he ain’t leaving none of you hating motherfucking alive to talk about it! Let’s go! So, this is the latest EP release by 6th Man’s own The Bad Seed, featuringContinue reading “(THE GOOD PARTS)”

(A Beacon In The Dark)

Another collaboration between Len-Dor and DJ Kawon, and between the two of them, they have seven more tracks featuring the likes of: -Rob G -Pro Logic -Cassette -Unscathed And this project definitely feels more loose and rough around the edges than the other two. I’d describe this one as Len-Dor and Kawon just wanting toContinue reading “(A Beacon In The Dark)”

(Requiem)

So far, I’ve experienced three different sides of Len-Dor in the space of 24 hours. A short experimental EP, a collaboration with another producer, and now a trio album featuring another MC. I never thought I’d have so much mix from one artist in such a short time span, but let’s talk about it! So,Continue reading “(Requiem)”

(I NEED MY FLOWERS)

Once again, I find myself returning to Len-Dor, the man whose EP I just covered not even 24 hours ago, but with an album that previously dropped before that one, I had to see what it was all about, so here we are! This is the latest collaboration project between Len-Dor and producer Pro Logic.Continue reading “(I NEED MY FLOWERS)”

(SPLASH GRENADE)

Holy fuck, this is so exciting for me. After just coming down from the high that was ‘Coolest Combo Ever’ by Al Divino X Estee Nack X Grubby Pawz, which shook the industry even doing so off streaming. Now I get to experience yet another adrenaline shot in the form of the brand-new rare AlContinue reading “(SPLASH GRENADE)”

(Abstractions)

Once again, it’s time to cover a new artist. One who appeared in my DM’s and one who has been in the back of my mind since I saved it for later due to the unique album cover gives me hope that this will be a listening experience that isn’t like any other! Let’s getContinue reading “(Abstractions)”

(Oro Rosa)

Man, what an interesting career projection CRIMEAPPLE has had in 2025. From a trio album with Primo Profit and MichaelAngelo to a self-produced album to now a single with DJ Skizz? I feel this is his experimental phase of his discography, and I fuck with it. Let’s talk about it! This new single is 2Continue reading “(Oro Rosa)”
