When veteran Hip-Hop trio De La Soul dropped their ninth full length album ‘and the Anonymous Nobody… ‘ last Summer I wasn’t trying to hear it. It was just too much of a departure from the sampladelic production aesthetic that put them on the map for me me and I[…]

Katy Perry – Bon Appétit feat. Migos (Video)
Earlier today I got an excited instant message from a friend asking if I’d seen the new Katy Perry video. I had not. The message came from an individual with whom I’d once engaged in fantasy sex-play involving simulated murder, necrophilia, and anthropophagy. It read, simply, “cannibalism”. The video, for[…]
Gorillaz – Saturnz Barz (Spirit House) (Video)
Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett’s “virtual band” Gorillaz is back with a 360-degree interactive video, replete with Lovecraftian tentacle monsters, for their new Caribbean-spiced auto-tune Electro-Dancehall-Pop tune “Saturnz Barz (Spirit House)”. “Saturnz Barz”, which features vocals from Popcaan, is the first single from the animated group’s forthcoming fifth LP ‘Humanz’,[…]
Sammus – Nighttime feat. Izzy True (Video)
Hey, brain? We should talk… So begins “Nighttime”, a rare glimpse of how anxiety and depression can effect those of us unlucky enough to be afflicted with mental health difficulties by Nerdcore emcee Sammus. Other than proclamations of psychopathic tendencies and the rare ode to suicide mental health is not[…]
Desiigner – Zombie Walk feat. King Savage (Video)
I’m not sure how I missed this much too long horror-themed clip for Brooklyn rapper Desiigner’s “Zombie Walk” featuring King Savage with the assist when he uploaded it on Halloween. “Zombie Walk” is from Desiigner’s debut mixtape ‘New English’, out now on Kanye West’s GOOD Music imprint via Def Jam[…]
Princess Nokia – Brujas (Video)
Alt-Rap sensation Princess Nokia pays decidedly braggadocios reverence to the traditions of witchcraft from across the African diaspora over downtempo bassy Trap beats on “Brujas”. “Brujas” is from the young Harlemite’s recent ‘1992’ mixtape. Princess Nokia
Danny Brown – Pneumonia (Video)
There is no vaccination for the sickness that is “Pneumonia”, the ill new single from Detroit native son Danny Brown. The video mixes crazy BDSM-style suspension with political imagery and further cements Brown as one of the tue heirs to the throne of crazy wisdom once occupied by Ol’ Dirty[…]
Bunny Michael – 888 (Video)
Art-Rap high-priestess Bunny Michael is back from her spoken word excursion as Khum Princess. She’s dropping that real, raw, bass heavy bruja shit on her new single “888”. And it comes complete with an accompanying video that finds her and her crew representing for new millennia Shamanic sex magick like[…]
Kanye West – Fade (Video)
I kind of fronted on Kanye West’s most recent album ‘The Life of Pablo’. Maybe it was all the Gospel inspired tracks I heard the one time I tried to listen to it? Maybe it was the fact that he pulled a George Lucas with it and hasn’t offered a[…]
Beck – Wow (Video)
The always experimental Alternative artist Beck is back and kicking some “luminous moves” like only an Operating Thetan can on his booming new single “Wow”! It finds him dropping the bass real heavy, spitting the seemingly nonsensical rhymes that have long been his signature, and belting out some sweet Beach[…]
Monday Magick: Danny Brown – Really Doe feat. Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul and Earl Sweatshirt (Video)
“I be on those chemicals… She be on my testicles… Poke her with my tentacle… Then put her on my schedule…” I’m a lazy fuck who hasn’t listened to anything but “Really Doe”, a brand new track from Detroit emcee Danny Brown featuring Ab-Soul, Kendrick Lamar, and Earl Sweatshirt, all[…]
Die Antwoord – Banana Brain (Video)
South African Rave-Rap duo Die Antwoord just dropped the first single and video from their forthcoming fourth LP ‘Mount Ninji and Da Nice Time Kid’. It’s called “Banana Brain”, and in typical Die Antwoord fashion it depicts group member Yolandi as a “good girl” with a “bad streak” who gets even[…]
