I haven’t found myself getting excited about a lot of music lately. But “Cookie Chips”, the new single from Irish emcee Rejjie Snow featuring the inimitable MF DOOM and Cam O’bi, is too good to ignore. Somehow the super mellow but unquestionably Summery beat manages to capture the style of[…]
I featured New Zealand bred Trans rapper Randa’s revealing video “Turtles” in this space some time ago. They kinda fell off my radar after that. But they’re back with a fly new song and video called “Fashion”. No word on whether this or any of their other newer tracks will[…]
Imageyenation dandy Micah James is back with some achingly beautiful Shahana Khan directed visuals to accompany the melancholic art raps of his song “Fall Back”. It’s anybody’s guess whether this track is a one-off or should be taken as a sign that the Los Angeles based lyricist may be preparing to[…]
The undisputed Rap vocabulary king Aesop Rock joins forces with Black Moth Super Rainbow frontperson Tobacco for a psychedelic, possibly Satanic, true-crime fever-dream on the very John Carpenter soundtrack sounding “Acid King”. “Acid King” is the first single from AesRock and Tobacco’s forthcoming self titled Malibu Ken album, out January[…]
Speaking as a chubby, beared, non-binary person who released a Rap record, looks amazing with a full face of makeup, and fucks with Satan heavy, Queer Texas emcee Chris Conde’s “Diamond Daggerz” is so necessary. “Diamond Daggerz” is the third single from Conde’s forthcoming debut album. Chris Conde
Watch Kilo Kish beat the shit of her doppelganger, ‘Twin Peaks’ style, in the bugged out video clip for her bass-heavy new single “Void”. “Void” is the second single from the eclectic singer/songwriter’s newest EP ‘mothe’Kilo Kish which is out now on her own Kisha Soundscape + Audio imprint.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise to regular readers of this website to see me admit that my infrequently updated Monday Magick columns are often a laboratory for my own personal brand of high weirdness in one way or another. Weird music. Weird musicians. Weird musings on unquestionably weird subject matter.[…]
It’s already a viral hit so I don’t feel like I’m telling you about anything you didn’t already know when I say Los Angeles based singer, rapper, and producer Dumisani “Doja Cat” Dlamini’s “Mooo!” is the song of the Summer. The production, comprised of a jazzy sample flittering over Bounce-inspired drum[…]
I’ve been listening to ‘Everything’s Fine’, the collaborative LP by Brooklyn based Rap superhero Jean Grae and Detroit bred producer/emcee Quelle Chris, a whole lot lately. The dirty Jazz beats and abstract poetry of “Gold Purple Orange” make me think this is what Digable Planets would, or should, sound like if[…]
Never one to rest on her laurels (which include dropping a universally praised album ‘1992 Deluxe’ last year and throwing soup on a racist subway rider) Harlem bred rapper Destiny Frasqueri, otherwise known as Princess Nokia, is back and on some broken-hearted depression-wave Hot Topic Emo-Goth shit on her new[…]
I added “Delete Delete” by Beyoncé and Run the Jewels collaborator Jordan Asher “BOOTS” Cruz to my Spotify workplace playlist when it was released a couple of weeks ago and promptly forgot it existed. Then, last night, it dropped in the middle of a twelve hour graveyard shift and made[…]
Columbian/American soulful Pop chanteuse Kali Uchis enlists the assistance of Canadian Jazz band BADBADNOTGOOD, pioneering Funk bassist Bootsy Collins, and frequent collaborator Tyler, The Creator on her new single “After the Storm”. “After the Storm”, which comes off as a bit of an answer to the faux Bootsyisms of Childish[…]
