![Joomanji - Manj [Album]](/thumbs/post/485x231/graffiti-streets.png)
Left coast based production collective, Joomanji, presents “Manj.” Smooth, jazzy, and rife with hip-hop inflections, the project’s detectable jazz-hop influences are reminiscent of timeless avant-garde hip hop production—a little J Dilla, Madlib’s more jazzy works, and some Erykah Badu and Bilal. But these tracks are more so reinvigorations of such sounds with expanded horizons into something wholly modern and progressively creative. Each production on the 13-track album swirls nuanced dreamy keyboards,...
Future may need love and affection but he “ain’t fell in love with no pu**y.” Auto-tune ambassador and ATL rapper gives us a sneak peak of his forthcoming mixtape, HPG 2 with “No Love.” DJ Spinz and Dun Deal seamlessly meld synths with mellow, trap fashioned pattering drums and fluttering hi-hats as if a new aged sugar plum fairy was playing a xylophone in the back of the studio as they did their thing.

You've been waiting around for new solo Black Milk material for a while now, I know. It's been since 2010 that Album of the Year dropped, a project that strayed from the sound of 2008's Tronic, because that's what he does. Milk isn't the type of rapper who keeps throwing out the same music over...
Danny Brown's fallen into a kush coma, but not the sit-back-and-watch-your-screensaver-for-an-hour-kind. More of the seizure-inducing, mixed-too-many-things-together-and-now-I-can’t-find-my-shoes-type. The beat is pumping forward at like 1000 mph on a futuristic vehicle in 2094 and Danny shows it...
![Bodega BAMZ - Say Amen [video]](/thumbs/post/320x152/bodega-bamz.png)
Bronx MC Bodega Bamz recruits trap lord A$AP Ferg to join him in trap church as his trap Pope for his "Say Amen" video, a track off his Strictly for my P.A.P.I.Z mixtape. The two set forth a dramatic plea for forgiveness, though outlining their sins serves more the purpose of detailing their...
![Earl Sweatshirt - WHOA [Video]](/thumbs/post/320x152/earl-sweatshirt.png)
Earl Sweatshirt drops some new material with “WHOA”, but if you’re expecting the introspective diary rap he shared in his previous release, “Chum,” think again. Tyler, the Creator is featured and directs under his Wolf Haley alias, delivering visuals that return to the origins of Odd...
Fabolous is really succesful. He's so succesful he'll only drop one verse for his "fuck you" track to all the haters who doubted him along the way. Good for you, Loso. But seriously, he only needs one verse to kill this moody piano beat and he's packing some real potent lines that any aspiring...
Unusual vocal hitches stay on repeat until you gradually accept them as a part of the beat, which builds and builds, then drops into something very different, and then alternates back to where it was just when the rhymes begin. It’s an unconventional trance sound that seems to work quite well for...
