A frequently updated site dedicated to music videos, interviews, artists features and general interest in and around, but not limited to, the Hip Hop and Soul culture.
Two years on from their first collaborative album together, "Omega", Dubbul O and Pro P prepare to release their second project "As We Proceed". The LP will be available on Bandcamp through Room2 Records.
Check the link for the album preview tracks and pre-order followed by the video for their first single "The Eyes Know" beneath.
The brothers of Timeless Truth escape the confines of Queens to the great outdoors but continue to be freshly dipped in their beloved Polo (with a hint of Carhartt) in their new video for "Cold Wave".
This track is taken from their newly released and much anticipated album of the same name. Expect features from the late great Sean Price, Your Old Droog, Ill Bill and production from DJ Skizz, Roc Marciano and Large Professor among others.
Skematics drops the second video from his EP "Somewhere In The Gray" which is released later this month. "Wrong Feels So Right" features vocals from Crestastarr.
You know, I've always found it funny how boring "artists" who make it to the mainstream think that they really hold any weight when it comes to actual talent. The fact that a bunch of kids who still play their tinny MP3s at the back of the bus support you says a lot. Throwaway.
It seems like I'm not the only one who thinks like that and I'm glad a certain "artist" is being called out on it too. Shotty Horroh via Link Up TV has just systematically dismantled your little sister's favourite rapper.
Dr. G provides the soundtrack to this verbal beating and you need to listen to it now.
It's been a long five years since Elzhi's tribute to Nas with his "Elmatic" album. The wait is now over for a new project from El as he prepares to release "Lead Poison" at the end of March.
Here with have the first video from the set with "February" which we heard at the tail end of 2015. Over a dreamy but busy percussive track from 14KT, Elzhi talks about his fight with depression, the old days and the loss of his friend J Dilla. The visuals do a great job of tapping in to his mind regarding these subjects.
Here we have the visuals to Washington Heights emcee Skematics' latest track, "4 Elements". The video features The Yardfather himself, Saigon, as well as one half of Blahzay Blahzay and frequent Sean Price collaborator, PF Cuttin, who produced the track.
The single is available on iTunes now but look for the upcoming EP from Skematics, "Somewhere In The Grey".
Danse of Brooklyn Stickup returns with a new video for his single "FUSMD". Accompanied by April Oneill on vocals, Danse delivers an homage to the underdog. Despite the no nonsense lyrics on the track, he shows a sense of hope and personal accomplishment with the guests in the visuals. #FUSMD
Watch the video below and pick up the single on iTunes now.
A couple of weeks ago, Your Old Droog dropped the video for "We Don't Know You". The incredibly chill produced DJ Skizz track appears on Droog's "The Nicest EP" which is available now. Check the animated video below.
Detroit legend Phat Kat drops the visual for his first single from his album "Re-Dedication To The Suckers". The video for "Rededication" is a brif reminder of what you've been missing since the last album a few years back. Check it below.
Triple Darkness drop a new video from their latest album "Darker Than Black" with the single "A Cup Of Spiders". With production from Ringz Ov Saturn and cuts from Evil Ed, we hear verses from Crown Nectar, Cyrus Malachi, Ray Vendetta and Black Prophet.
The album is available in both digital and physical formats via Bandcamp and Suspect Packages. Vinyl will also be available soon.
AZ returns with the new single and video "Back To Myself". A laid back track on an unorthodox beat for AZ but hopefully this means we're closer to the release of his elusive sequel "Doe Or Die 2". That remains to be seen but this single is available on iTunes now.
On November 20th, ShedTheLight welcome the debut appearance of Skyzoo to Manchester. This show has been a long time coming considering the length of time Skyzoo has been around and putting out music.
The Brooklyn native is fresh off the release of his latest long player, Music For My Friends and a busy schedule promoting the project. This follows last year's collaborative album with his partner in rhyme Torae with their Barrel Brothers album.
Originally slated to appear at the Q Cavern in Piccadilly, the show has been moved to The Mint Lounge on Oldham Street in The Northern Quarter. You can check the event page here on Facebook for further information and tickets. Support on the night comes from Room2 artists Dubbul O & Pro P and also DMC finalist El Statiko.
In the meantime, check a couple of Sky's latest videos, both solo and with Apollo Brown and Torae. Also, be sure to watch an interview/concert he did for Brooklyn's BRIC TV below.
Paris based producer Onra returns with the second video from is 80's inspired album "Fundamentals". This time he enlists The Doppelgangaz on the track "Anything". When it comes to women, they aren't picky. All they ask is that you have a pulse and no wedding ring...
Check the video below. "Fundamentals" is available now.
I've definitely been lacking on the posts as of late. I don't really have an excuse other than lack of inspiration to publish any new content. Maybe that's more of a reason than an excuse.
Anyway, I was snapped out of that funk yesterday when I was treated to the new offering from Manage. As a member of Caxton Press and before that, Chain Of Command, Manage has come through with the goods. Classic UK music.
Check out the new video for "Soul Root" as Runone delivers a throwback soundscape for Manage to let loose on. Love this track.
Voodoo Black return with a new video from their current project the "OutSauced EP". Pete Cannon delivers a nostalgic banger while Sparkz, Dubbul O and Ellis Meade drop a verse each respectively.
As mentioned, this track can be found on the "OutSauced EP" which is available for a 'name your price' amount on their Bandcamp.
Check the video below and take a look at Room2 Records for a slew of other releases from Voodoo Black and the rest of the roster.
