Gorgeous Children – Gorgeous Children [Album]
Gorgeous Children was probably inspired by Clipse’s Hell Hath No Fury. We all were, in our own unique ways. It was a great album with a dark vibe bolstered by a bunch of new keyboard presets that the Neptunes happened…
Hollywood Squadda – My Room Look Like A Mall [Album]
Like AARP The Magazine, it seems every two months or so the Green Ova camp puts out a new project. This month it’s Hollywood Squadda’s My Room Look Like A Mall, an album title with several implications. Could it mean…
Keyboard Kid – COMPUTERSxDRUGS [Album Stream]
The visuals for Keyboard Kid‘s “R@!53d0n8B1t” are sorta like Aaahh!!! Real Monsters meets some turn-of-the-century minimal Hype Williams video treatment. The single matches the pictures perfectly, and it’s attached to a new album from the Seattle producer called COMPUTERSxDRUGS. There’s…
Pragmatic Theory – Summer In The City [Compilation]
Compilations, mixtapes, playlists, they can all be bundles of serendipity.. It’s a lazy but rewarding way of discovering new music without scouring Soundcloud for the pages of producers from countries you thought disappeared when the Soviet Union fell. We’ve released…
PoptartPete – Free Jawns Vol. 1 [EP]
On Free Jawns Vol. 1 you’ll find five muffled beats from the Philadelphia-based producer PoptartPete. It’s the kind of muffled sound you’d hear if you were listening to a car radio from the trunk of a Buick. When played through…
Tuamie – Telepathy [Album Stream]
Tuamie‘s output thus far has been titled as if he gathered inspiration from strolling down the occult aisle in his local bookstore, glancing at the sub-sections. I know, that’s a stretch, bookstores aren’t real, and something like telepathy may also…
R.E.I.D. – “Famous”
You’re hit in the head with new rap song after new rap song every day. Most try to get your attention by standing out with their packaging (Having a guest feature from so-and-so, a provocative photoshopped cover, etc.). Others, like…
Ohbliv – blkcodes.ep [EP]
Sometimes I wonder about things. Like what if the makers of beats have underground competitions for who can produce the most material? What if Ohbliv and Knxwledge were secret rivals, with a secret message board on the internet populated with…
sergioisdead – ENJOY [Album]
Lil B‘s career has been a bit of a farm system for young producers. His 20-plus song mixtapes depend on the beats from those that can match his oddness. People that sound like Shun Di probably would if he was…
Whoarei – Thoughts Blunted [Album]
Producers love their aliases. Madlib has about 32, and countless young in the game beat makers want to emulate, and get their Clark Kent with dissociative identity disorder on. Now, we have no concrete reason to believe that Sacramento producer…
