It’s been over three years since ‘I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside‘, but Earl Sweatshirt is back with a new track entitled ‘Nowhere2go’. Excitement [well, ours at least!] reached fever pitch when mysterious teaser videos began to surface on Instagram. Speculation was rife that an album was sure to follow, but for now…
Harlem born MC A$AP Rocky drops the video for ‘Fukk Sleep’ featuring FKA Twigs, a track taken from his latest album, ‘TESTING‘. The futuristic video sees A$AP Rocky and FKA twigs smashing windows, stealing cars, dancing on the counters in a jewellery shop, and visiting strip clubs in New York City. Produced by Object Animal…
Swizz Beatz’s highly anticipated album ‘Poison’ dropped last week. Executively produced by the Hip Hop stalwart, the album’s list of features reads like a roll call for the genre’s hottest, with J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne, Giggs, Nas, Pusha T all delivering verses. Singles ‘Pistol On My Side’ and ‘Come Again’ are the obvious…
‘White Bronco’ is Action Bronson’s fourth studio album, and the first he’s released independently since 2011’s ‘Well Done’.

London-based producer Haich releases a new video for recent single ‘Conversations‘. It’s his first self-directed video; “a hypnotic re-imagining of two characters experiencing constant interaction (both digitally and physically) throughout their day whilst longing for the comfort of being alone.” It’s beautifully done, an impressive directorial debut from Haich that matches the track’s experimental sound perfectly. Stream…
Last Halloween Skepta gifted us the ‘Vicious‘ EP. This year he’s dropped off a new video for May’s standalone single ‘Pure Water‘. It’s a mostly black-and-white [and occasionally red] clip that sees Skepta, well, cleaning his teeth and taking a bath – but probably not in the same settings you and I might. Stream below via…
Emerging from the underground Hip Hop scene in Germany, Serious Klein releases his debut album ‘You Should’ve Known’.

White Bronco season continues as Action Bronson released another new single from the upcoming LP. ‘Prince Charming’ sees the Queens native rhyme, loved up, over a beat from Knxwledge that began life as ‘gdspln [sry]’; a flip of Drake’s ‘God’s Plan’ taken from Knx’s ‘WT.PRT.13’ album.

“’Be There / Higher’ is a double A-side single I conceptualised earlier this year,” says Denzel Himself. “I wanted to create and pair two songs that sounded like motorsports and anarchy. For the artwork, though, I wanted to purposefully undersell the ruckus that the music encompasses, as to have a subversive affect. I wanted each…
Mick Jenkins’ long-awaited sophomore album is here, and ‘Pieces Of A Man’ is well worth the wait. Asked about the meaning behind the album, the Chicago MC said it’s “just as simple as it sounds. It could definitely be broken down into a couple different things. I think there’s a lot to unpack but essentially…
808INK’s new album is about “Motivation to get your money,” Mumblez Black Ink tells Dazed, “Enjoy yourself, because we’re young, we’re cool, and life is for livin’”. The follow-up to last year’s ‘When I’m About You’ll Know‘ is every bit as boisterous, and this time comes with features from Kojey Radical, Prynce Mini and House…
