Slik Jack & Vincent Pryce "Slice The Pie" [VIDEO]

Following the "StoneFaces" preview with Estee Nack, "Yesterday Ain't Today's Pryce" is now fully available. Vincent Pryce produces the entire project, Slik Jack holds the mic. "Slice The Pie" receives the first official video treatment, directed and edited by Lemme Kno. Released through 100 MAD, the same label behind Onyx and the expanding Toronto-New York network. The album title plays on the double meaning of "Pryce" as name and value, shifting focus to the present: what held yesterday no longer defines what today costs.

The 17th Cipher x Rufus Sims x IAMGAWD "Chicagospel" [ALBUM]

After Grindhouse studio performances, Inside Look documentaries and individual visuals, "Chicagospel" is now available as a complete fourteen-track album. The 17th Cipher curates, Rufus Sims and IAMGAWD share the vocals. The project was built over weeks as a connected universe: every video, every performance, every behind-the-scenes segment from Marsz Flight Films contributed to the album before the full release. That strategy separates "Chicagospel" from a standard album drop — listeners already carry familiarity with individual moments, and the complete project now gives them context. Chicago anchors the theme — not as generic drill territory, but as a site of memory, loss, neighborhood identity and lyrical discipline. The fact that Rufus Sims and IAMGAWD avoid retreating into pure local chronicle and instead pose universal questions about belonging and perseverance gives the record reach well beyond city limits.

A-F-R-O "Play on Wordz" (feat. Bishop Lamont, Wordsworth & Terror Van Poo) [VIDEO]

A-F-R-O continues the "Trap Door 2" campaign with a remarkable feature cast. Bishop Lamont Aftermath affiliate, personally signed by Dr. Dre, a technical heavyweight alongside Wordsworth, the Brooklyn freestyle craftsman, and Terror Van Poo, whose raw energy anchors the record at the bottom. A-F-R-O once again handles production, mixing, mastering and video editing entirely himself. On a posse track with four voices, curatorial skill becomes essential. Bishop Lamont, Wordsworth and Terror Van Poo are not interchangeable names; each brings a specific tonal identity, and the sequence has to work without any of them disappearing. Pre-orders for "Trap Door 2" are already live on Bandcamp.

Gustavo Louis & Cusho "36th Hole" [ALBUM]

 

Gustavo Louis switches sports metaphors. After the wrestling-coded "Narco Finals," "36th Hole" with Cusho arrives as a full golf concept album: ten tracks from "Commercial Break Intro" through "Green Jacket Rap," "PGA Tour," "Pimento Cheese" and "Arnold Palmer" to the title track "36th Hole." Bug Nelson features on "PGA Tour." The imagery commits fully to golf vocabulary — irons, caddies, backwoods on the green — and translates it into street logic. Because golf typically appears in rap only as a luxury symbol, stretching it into a complete album framework becomes a deliberate inversion: precision, patience, strategy over empty display.

Blizz From Juice "Pussy Malanga" (prod. FiveEight Fever) [VIDEO]

Following the single release, the official video from SCFShootz arrives. "Pussy Malanga" is the second single from the upcoming album "Graphic Violence," which promises features from Eto, 448 Brad and Chubs alongside Blizz's New Crack Era home base. FiveEight Fever on the boards maintains the line first heard on the initial Apple Music single Rochester hardness over a producer already established through Chubs' "Grhyme" album. PaperChaserDotCom handles the distribution push.

Eclyse "Uncanny Phantasmagoria" [ALBUM]

 

Eclyse delivers "Uncanny Phantasmagoria" as an album whose cover art was hand-drawn by the artist himself with markers and paint on a 10x10 canvas a detail that underscores the handmade character of the entire project. Twelve tracks split across four producers: Omar Glomar (four times), V-Sine Beatz (three times), SMG (four times) and Level 13 (once). Features from G Fam Black on "Temporal Displacement," B1 The Architect on "The Chosen Ones" and Umang on "Dose Of Potency." B1 The Architect also mixes and masters the complete album. The title "Uncanny Phantasmagoria" sets the direction: eerie imagery, magic-lantern logic, tracks functioning like shifting shadow plays. Eclyse describes the album as "an artwork that will describe itself" a deliberate refusal of external explanation. G Fam Black's presence anchors the record in Massachusetts, while Omar Glomar's production contributions connect it to the broader "No Mercy Cypher" orbit.

The Tangiers (Benefit x Massiah Kaine) "Setting The Deck" (prod. Scotzilla) [VIDEO]

The Tangiers pairs Benefit and Massiah Kaine as a formal duo. "Setting The Deck" is a track from the EP "Old Vegas," produced by Scotzilla, with visuals by Jaestar Filmz. The video is set at a summertime BBQ and keeps its frame deliberately grounded: no overbuilt concept, just two MCs reflecting over soulful production in the sun. Benefit has been a fixture in the Massachusetts underground since the early 2000s; his pairing with Massiah Kaine creates a duo format built on shared perspective rather than competitive solo showcases.

Spectacular RGM (Japreme Magnetic) "CNN Freestyle" [VIDEO]

Japreme Magnetic delivers a freestyle under the Spectacular RGM banner that draws its strength from sheer directness. No credited beat, no feature list, no album announcement just an MC sitting down and rapping. The CNN reference in the title points less to news media than to the freestyle tradition where the artist becomes his own broadcast: current imagery, personal stance, technical proof.

Dex the nerd who loves Jesus "A Sinners Mercy" (feat. tonyxtrotter & TNV) [SINGLE]

An artist name that puts its entire identity on display: Dex the nerd who loves Jesus. "A Sinners Mercy" takes the faith component seriously without turning it into Sunday-school music. The track treats sin and grace as lived tension rather than theological abstraction. Tonyxtrotter and TNV add their perspectives. The title isn't a romantic idea of forgiveness but an honest accounting: what does mercy mean when you know you haven't earned it?

Da Flyy Hooligan "Champion" [VIDEO]

"Champion" is another visual building block from Da Flyy Hooligan's continuous output not a new album, but a track from the GourmetDeluxxx world now receiving its own video. With Hooli, the title is never just an ego label. He treats "champion" as ongoing self-demand rather than achieved status. The video performance stays true to that posture: presence, discipline, no shouting, no exaggeration.

Gamblez Tha Lucky Bastard x Stu Bangas "80's Baby, 90's Kid" [ALBUM]

Gamblez Tha Lucky Bastard and Stu Bangas build "80's Baby, 90's Kid" as a complete one-producer album. Seventeen entries, including two interludes and an outro that provide structure and pacing. Stu Bangas produces the entire project with one exception: "The Game That I Play" is handled by Young Bangas. The feature list prioritizes quality over volume: Hanzo Bladez, Honey Dinero and Tone Spliff on "Lookin' Sidewayz," Jakprogresso and Smeag Scientist on "The Game That I Play," Akua The God and Erb on "Ghost Town," Lord Goat and VersaTilla on "Black Masks," Knownaz EVIL, Ayok and Termanology on "HUNGER!," Gibby Stites, Jacc D. Frost and Ms. Laura Michelle on "Still I Rise," Alexa Dugan on "Never Said Goodbye," and Tone Spliff returning on the closer "The Payoff." Tone Spliff's double appearance confirms his role as one of the connective figures in the current underground. The title declares a biographical position: raised between both decades, shaped by both, defined by neither alone.

Smif-N-Wessun & M.O.P. "Medina" (SNDTRAK Remix)

The combination alone is a heavyweight event. Smif-N-Wessun Tek and Steele, Boot Camp Clik from the jump alongside M.O.P. Billy Danze and Lil' Fame, the hardest duo New York ever produced. SNDTRAK remixes and brings the Oakland Soul Council aesthetic (9th Wonder's production collective) underneath four MCs who collectively represent pure street gravity. Released through Duck Down, the label that has housed Smif-N-Wessun since the nineties. The remix alters the sonic foundation without diluting the weight of the four voices.

Touch182 "The Scientific Method" [ALBUM]

 

Touch182 writes and produces "The Scientific Method" entirely himself, with Nato mastering at Up in Arms Studios. Thirteen tracks carry a clear conceptual frame: observation, hypothesis, experiment and conclusion transferred onto a rap album's architecture. "Leave The Auditorium" opens with an eleven-second cut that immediately separates the listener from passive comfort before "Syllabus" establishes the rules. "Gatekeeper," "New Aristocracy," "Opulence On Canvas" and "Unified Theory" suggest the scientific framework actively influences each track's approach rather than existing as decorative titling. "Rap Over Beats" as the closer deliberately pulls the record back to fundamentals.

BabyFase P "Truth" (prod. Navy Velour) [VIDEO]

"Truth" is a title that leaves no room for interpretation — and BabyFase P treats it accordingly. Navy Velour builds the foundation, Slpshoots films the video. The track stays with its subject and doesn't try to soften the title's claim through overbuilt framing. That directness is the strength: one MC, one producer, one video, one word as a mission statement. The visual keeps focus squarely on the performance.

Taiyamo Denku "Battle With Myself" (feat. Mickey Factz, prod. DJ Pain1) [VIDEO]

Taiyamo Denku turns the battle concept inward. "Battle With Myself" doesn't address the opponent across the ring but the one inside the head — self-doubt, conflicting impulses, personal history as sparring partner. Mickey Factz is a sharp feature choice: technically gifted enough to carry the theme lyrically without reducing it to pure display. DJ Pain1 produces, CTM Films handles the visual. The track serves as a preview for the upcoming Denku x Pain1 collaborative album, making "Battle With Myself" a conceptual entry point for the larger project.

Scum x Insane Poetry x Smallz One "Devil's Trident" [ALBUM]

The album title sets the image instantly: a trident, three artists, one shared dark axis. Scum, Insane Poetry and Smallz One all operate within the horrorcore segment, but from distinct lineages and vocal identities. Eleven tracks across roughly thirty-six minutes give the project room to develop without losing tension. The three-way configuration matters: a duo album would create different internal dynamics. Three voices generate more rotation and force each participant to establish clear position rather than simply filling space.

Status The Marlboro Man "More Than Obvious" (Animated Video by Krookid Hooks) [VIDEO]

"More Than Obvious" is the second animated video from "Smoke In The Basement" and marks the first on-screen appearance of Billy Bats, a recurring character in Status The Marlboro Man's musical catalog. Krookid Hooks brings the figure to life through animation, continuing a creative partnership between two Denver underground pioneers who have shaped the local scene for over 25 years alongside collaborators including Nine, Son Doobie, Reks, A-F-R-O, Sadat X, El Da Sensei and Big Left. The animation creates an independent visual world that pushes past the limitations of a standard performance clip.

Canc3r The God "Cocaine Jaw" (feat. A-Minus & DJ Bet, prod. Stranga) [SINGLE]

Canc3r The God builds "Cocaine Jaw" inside a classic triangle: A-Minus on the second voice, DJ Bet providing the turntablist element, Stranga behind the production. The title carries a very specific physical image — the nervous grinding of a jaw under chemical influence — and the track treats that image as atmospheric frame rather than shock device. The visualizer stays restrained: no elaborate set design, no visual excess competing with the sound. What matters is the combination of Stranga's dark foundation and the voices working across it.

The Inglorious Poet "Sit The Fuck Down II" [EP]

The title record behind “Sit The Fuck Down II” was developed through several distinct versions before the album arrived: an original cut with B-Lash and Reef The Lost Cauze, a UK version involving Res One, Relly and DJ Rogue, a US version with Reks, Guilty Simpson and Reflection Beatdownz, and an expanded ThisIsHipHopp remix. The Inglorious Poet did not treat the central command as a one-time slogan; he tested it across different regional combinations. The new nine-track, thirty-six-minute album expands that idea beyond a single confrontation. “Sit down” becomes less about one opponent and more about standards: who contributes substance, who simply occupies space, and who can survive comparison once the writing is exposed. The earlier versions connected British and American underground traditions; the album now gives that transatlantic challenge a wider structure.

Third Eyez "Cinematic Barz" (feat. RJ Payne, prod. Oh No) [VIDEO]

Roc C and Phoenix Flame introduce Third Eyez as a full duo rather than a temporary collaboration. “Cinematic Barz” is the first major signal from the upcoming “Third Eye Vision,” with Oh No providing a production language built for sharp imagery and unstable movement. RJ Payne adds technical force, but his appearance does not take ownership away from the new group. The title makes the mission clear: these bars are expected to create scenes, not merely display rhyme skill. Releasing through URBNET places the project inside an independent structure with a long commitment to lyric-driven and physical-minded hip-hop.

Mighty Theodore "The Old Rap Language (Hellee Hooper Remixes)" [ALBUM]

The original “The Old Rap Language” was produced entirely by Jazzsoon and structured around sites, media and institutions from hip-hop memory: Word Up!, Zulu Beat, the Latin Quarter, Disco Fever and Crazy Eddie. Mighty Theodore then paired an unusually wide cast with precision rather than spectacle: DJ Doo Wop, Defari and Truck North; Guilty Simpson and Rockness Monsta; Casual and Moka Only; Vast Aire and Psalm One; Milano Constantine and Hassaan Mackey; Lewis Parker and Myka 9; D.V. Alias Khryst and Curly Castro; Illa Ghee and Miz Korona; Frank Nitt and LMNO; A.G. and Kool Keith. The new edition hands all ten records to Hellee Hooper. That creates a genuine alternate album: the voices, writing and historical coordinates remain, but the production grammar changes completely. A full remix treatment also tests the strength of the original sequencing — if the project still holds after every beat is replaced, the concept was deeper than its first soundscape.

Danjah Stand Clear "Danger Zone" (feat. King Topaz & DJ Moluxican) [VIDEO]

“Danger Zone” unites three artists connected through Musik G and The Underground Army. Danjah Stand Clear and King Topaz handle the vocal pressure, while DJ Moluxican produces and remains visible as an active DJ presence. The transatlantic element is physical rather than promotional: Moluxican traveled from the Netherlands to appear alongside the Brooklyn artists in the video. That detail makes the collaboration feel like genuine crew work rather than remote file exchange. The record also continues relationships already established inside the collective, giving “Danger Zone” history beneath the immediate energy. Military Movementz keeps the visual focused on performance and connection.

BoriRock x Dun Dealy "ZINGSTITUTIONALIZED" [ALBUM]

BoriRock has turned “Zing” into more than an ad-lib. It operates as private vocabulary, worldview and a marker of belonging. “ZINGSTITUTIONALIZED” stretches that language across ten tracks with Dun Dealy, framing the record like confinement inside a code the artists themselves control. Dun Dealy is not an anonymous second name attached to the billing. Both artists move through the wider Feed The Family orbit and already share cultural reference points, slang and an instinct for making the listener enter their world rather than translating it. The album does not explain the Zing language; it institutionalizes the audience inside it.

Coyote, Zombie Juice & Reason "Wassup Wit It?" [VIDEO]

Coyote brings Zombie Juice and Reason into the same record without asking either artist to flatten his regional identity. Zombie Juice carries the psychedelic Brooklyn language associated with Flatbush Zombies, while Reason brings a sharper West Coast technical edge. That contrast gives “Wassup Wit It?” more tension than a collaboration built entirely inside one local scene. Marmo Films and Ladies Love Guapo share directing duties, with Marmo Films also handling the edit. Purpose-built set design gives the three artists a unified visual environment rather than presenting the song as a collection of disconnected performance shots.

Tha God Fahim x Nicholas Craven "Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 5" [EP]

The fifth “Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap” installment contains eight tracks across roughly nineteen minutes: “Crimes Against Humanity,” “Hakai,” “Mass Gainer,” “Mirko,” “Radioactive Spider,” “Remote Location,” “SSDG” and “Wayne Towers.” Nicholas Craven produces the entire project, leaving Tha God Fahim to move through one consistent sonic environment. The Dragon Ball-inspired series concept remains effective: a training dimension outside ordinary time, where repetition represents discipline rather than stagnation. Craven’s economical sample work allows Fahim to deliver compact verses without slowing the sequence. Although the current catalog listing makes the project appear fresh, the material first surfaced last year; this is a renewed digital release rather than a newly recorded volume.

Mxxx "Más Malilla" (feat. Layra MK) [VIDEO]

“Más Malilla” originally appeared on Mxxx’s eleven-track project “SINNER (PARTE 2)” and features Layra MK. The record itself is not new; the current development is its official visual treatment within the TCDLKTS, SINNER and SLREC orbit. That distinction matters. This is not a new-single announcement but an extension of an existing album’s life. Mxxx keeps the language raw and regionally specific, while Layra MK adds a second point of energy. The visual puts an established catalog track back into circulation without pretending it was recorded yesterday.

Da Flyy Hooligan "Today’s Agenda" [ALBUM]

Da Flyy Hooligan continues his current run with “Today’s Agenda,” an eleven-track UK hip-hop album moving through thirty-four minutes. The title fits an MC whose writing has long operated through tailored language, luxury detail and controlled street observation. An agenda is not an aspiration; it is a list of work that needs to be completed. The GourmetDeluxxx presentation keeps the record inside Hooli’s own vocabulary and aesthetic system. Rather than announcing a reinvention, the album feels like another deliberately scheduled stage in an already active body of work.

Blaze 5th & Kheyzine "Luz Devina" [VIDEO]

Maputo MC Blaze 5th and Bordeaux producer Kheyzine built “Return As Gold” as a full ten-track collaboration. “Luz Devina” now receives a visual directed and edited by Fif Mulima, with additional camera work from Deedy and Tetris Syzif. The distance between Mozambique and France is not treated as novelty; it is simply the geography behind a disciplined one-MC, one-producer album. The larger project frames transformation as its central idea. Within that structure, “Luz Devina” leans toward illumination and spiritual weight rather than pure aggression, opening another side of the record’s palette.

Micwise "Surprise!" [VIDEO]

Micwise keeps creative control close. Profess shoots the visual for CoLabTT Media, while Micwise edits the footage himself, allowing the pacing to follow his own sense of delivery and emphasis. With no larger concept or guest list pushed to the front, “Surprise!” has to survive on presence. The Trinidadian MC has built his identity through rap, independent media work and a visible engagement with hip-hop history. This plays like a concentrated signal rather than an overdeveloped campaign piece.

SITES & The Kid "Mind State" [ALBUM]

“Mind State” gives SITES and The Kid twelve tracks and just over half an hour to develop an actual collaborative album rather than a sequence of loose singles. The title places internal position above external scenery. SITES brings a transatlantic background shaped between Vancouver and London, along with a stated foundation in golden-era structure, conscious writing and wordplay. The Kid shares full billing, making this a two-artist framework rather than an MC with recurring assistance. The lean runtime helps the concept stay focused. There is room for movement, but not enough for the record to lose its center.

Heliocopta feat. Babiche Papaya "Schwester und Bruder" [VIDEO]

Following “Cypher Ohne Titel,” Heliocopta uses the second preview from “Die Legende von Peti Free” to widen the album’s emotional range. “Schwester und Bruder” treats love as something broader than romance: family, loyalty, attachment to another person, or devotion to hip-hop culture itself. Babiche Papaya provides the second voice the concept requires rather than functioning as a simple guest appearance. The record keeps its raw underground foundation but allows more warmth to enter the frame. That contrast suggests the album will not stay locked in one emotional register.

Novatore "Message From Beyond" (feat. Tone Spliff) [SINGLE]

“Message From Beyond” sounds like a title pulled directly from Novatore’s core vocabulary: death, transmission, memory and voices refusing to stay buried. At only two minutes, the record behaves less like a full horror narrative and more like a brief signal cutting through static. Tone Spliff’s presence brings turntablist identity into that frame, providing a natural counterweight to Novatore’s dense hardcore imagery. This is not a first-time pairing. Tone Spliff has appeared throughout Novatore’s wider catalog, making the single another compact chapter in an established relationship rather than a novelty collaboration.

The Blood of Nat Turner "Massacre at Two Pines" (feat. Jeremiah X) [SINGLE]

 

“Massacre at Two Pines” borrows the name given to the wedding-chapel bloodshed at the center of Kill Bill and redirects that revenge-cinema language into a politically charged rap setting. The Blood of Nat Turner already carries historical resistance in the group name, so the collision between revolutionary memory and stylized vengeance feels intentional rather than decorative. Jeremiah X joins the record, with K. Denham and E. Neale handling production and Denham also engineering. The inclusion of a full instrumental version suggests the backdrop is meant to stand as more than simple support.

Blizz from Juice x FiveEight Fever "P*Y MALANGA" [SINGLE]

Blizz from Juice and FiveEight Fever keep “P***Y MALANGA” built around a simple but effective division of labor: one voice, one producer, one tightly contained record. The censored title establishes a confrontational tone before the track begins, while the absence of guest verses keeps the chemistry exposed. This pairing already has history, so the single feels less like an experiment and more like another focused extension of a shared language.

Rick Hyde "No Advances" / "Boo Yah" / "Fake Luv" [VIDEO]

Rick Hyde presents three distinct sides of “H.Y.D.E. (Heard Yesterday Doesn’t Exist)” through a single visual run. “No Advances” featuring DuckMan is rooted in work ethic and place: Hyde moving through Buffalo’s East Side, receiving real neighborhood love, then carrying that energy directly into the studio. The title fits an artist who has built his position through production, writing and internal infrastructure rather than waiting for an industry safety net. “Boo Yah” strips the format down to Hyde alone, using the Stu Scott freestyle as a pure pen-and-delivery exercise. “Fake Luv” with Keen Streetz turns toward counterfeit loyalty and relationships built on temporary usefulness. Together, the three records outline the album’s central tensions: independence, technical confidence and the cost of learning who is genuinely present. Across eleven tracks, the full project also brings in OneTakeCarter, ElCamino and Flames Dot Malik, but Hyde remains firmly in control of the frame.

Detales "I-Fam Money" [SINGLE]

“I-Fam Money” is presented without excess framing: one record, three minutes, no guest list or larger rollout required to give it meaning. The title places family and money in the same phrase, creating a useful tension between material movement and the people meant to benefit from it. Detales keeps the spotlight entirely to himself, making the single feel less like a loose drop and more like a concise statement of priorities.

NasteeLuvzYou feat. Akrobatik "Crisis" [Audio]

 

AfterLyfe Music proudly announces the release of "Crisis", the compelling new single from acclaimed producer, engineer, and artist NasteeLuvzYou, featuring legendary Boston lyricist Akrobatik. The track serves as the second single from NasteeLuvzYou's critically acclaimed sophomore solo album, CE 2: Man's Mission, and is accompanied by an animated short film that brings to life the themes and messages woven throughout several songs on the project.

Long regarded as one of underground hip-hop's most respected producers and engineers, NasteeLuvzYou has spent years helping shape the culture behind the boards. His production credits include collaborations with Joey Bada$$, Pro Era, Sean Price, Termanology, Konflik, and many other notable artists. Built on authenticity, technical precision, and artistic vision, his career now enters a new chapter as he steps confidently into the spotlight as a solo artist, bringing decades of experience and craftsmanship to the forefront.

On "Crisis", Akrobatik immediately sets the tone with a deeply introspective opening verse, delivering thought-provoking lyricism with the precision, depth, and intelligence that have defined his career. His layered wordplay and spiritually charged imagery unfold effortlessly over NasteeLuvzYou's hard-hitting, soulful production, creating a dynamic fusion of conscious lyricism and classic boom-bap energy. NasteeLuvzYou follows with an equally compelling second verse, expanding on the song's central themes of divine purpose, spiritual awareness, perseverance, and universal truth while adding his own authentic perspective.

Entirely self-produced, CE 2: Man's Mission showcases NasteeLuvzYou's distinctive sonic identity while featuring an impressive roster of collaborators. In addition to Akrobatik on "Crisis", the album includes lyrical powerhouse Cambatta on "Bird's Eye" and longtime collaborator and AfterLyfe Music label partner Konflik on "Relinquish" and "Overcome".

Blending thought-provoking lyricism with expertly crafted production, CE 2: Man's Mission explores themes of purpose, authenticity, resilience, faith, and legacy while reflecting on the ever-evolving landscape of hip-hop. More than just a collection of songs, the album stands as both a deeply personal artistic statement and a testament to NasteeLuvzYou's lasting influence on independent and underground hip-hop.

Preed One - Audio Archeology 1.5 (Instrumental Album)

 California producer Preed One digs deep into his personal record collection for "Audio Archeology 1.5," a new instrumental project featuring 32 original beat-driven compositions built from samples he personally cut from his own vinyl collection.

Raw, soulful, sample-heavy and rooted in the art of digging, "Audio Archeology" offers 32 instrumentals that showcase Preed One simply doing what he does best: finding sounds, chopping them up and creating.

The title says it all: this is a sonic excavation through records, sounds, textures and fragments, transformed into something entirely new. More than just a collection of beats, "Audio Archeology" represents Preed One’s everyday creative process and a personal form of therapy. “These are the things I do every day—my daily therapy sessions.” - Preed One.

De La Soul "Run It Back!!" feat. Nas [VIDEO]

“Run It Back!!” is one of those moments where hip-hop history doesn’t just get quoted it actually converges. De La Soul releases the record from “Cabin In The Sky,” their tenth studio album on Mass Appeal Records, and Nas steps in as guest. That configuration is more than a feature. De La Soul has spent decades navigating an unusually complicated arc: the long publishing and sample-clearance battle around their own catalog, the eventual return of their music to streaming platforms, the painful loss of Trugoy, and the deliberate decision by Posdnuos and Maseo to keep moving forward. Bringing in Nas isn’t simply a big-name flourish. Nas understands, like De La Soul does, how to treat rap as a living archive without collapsing into nostalgia. The record plays on a familiar sports-commentary impulse. “Run it back” means one more time, but not in the sense of a warm-up for old times rather as a conscious rerun powered by everything that has been learned since. Justice Silvera directs the video. “Cabin In The Sky” isn’t constructed as a reunion press piece; it stands as a full studio album from a group that understands its legacy doesn’t depend on repeating old tricks. The Mass Appeal connection, so closely tied to Nas as well, gives the release additional institutional weight and a proper distribution level. In a year where many classic-era names either stay silent or slide into legacy-tour cycles, “Run It Back!!” sends a very clear signal: Native Tongues isn’t a museum project. It’s a way of thinking that is still allowed and still choosing to be active.

Sankofa x P-Ro x Tali Rodriguez "Snoop’s Nail Gun" [SINGLE]

The title is built with a wink: Sankofa explicitly clarifies that this isn’t the famous Snoop, just a different Snoop one holding a nail gun. That small shift is very Sankofa. Instead of large self-presentation, he draws a specific everyday scene and lets the image do the work. P-Ro carries the record alongside him, while Tali Rodriguez produces and engineers. The track is presented clean, no radio edits required, and lifts from the album “The Long Leash,” whose P-Ro / Sankofa / Tali Rodriguez trio has become a genuinely established unit in today’s New England- and Midwest-adjacent underground. Everything sits where it needs to sit: restrained beats, clear delivery, no unnecessary ornamentation.

Casablanca the Gawd "Price Tag" [VIDEO]

“Price Tag” from Casablanca the Gawd is lifted from the album “You’re Now About To Witness…,” and it sounds exactly like a title of that kind would suggest: no warm-up, no detour, a direct pointed statement instead. Scottzilla produces the record, and We Shoot Films handles the visual. The title itself plays on the classic tension between actual worth and applied label who or what is really valuable once you attach a price to it. Casablanca keeps the whole thing grounded and lets the track work through presence rather than overloaded imagery. That’s precisely what Scottzilla’s production is built for here: dense, controlled, never crowded.

Doza The Drum Dealer "SANDROZE SIDE B" [ALBUM]

 

“SANDROZE SIDE B” is deliberately framed as the second side of a larger concept. Doza The Drum Dealer produces, and the rest of the album moves through feature-heavy street rap terrain that turns the producer into an active curator. Mimi Casiano opens the run, Aïda appears on “TYPECAST,” and “DESCARGARA” pulls AG Da Coroner, Eff Yoo, Money Mogly and Shottie into one of the record’s central moments. Cortez adds his voice on “NOTHING GOOD,” Ayoo Bigz, Showrocka, Mar and Jamil Honesty share “MELEE,” D. Goynz shows up on “ENTITLEMENT,” and the closer “LOOK AT ME” brings Dax Mpire and Ark Medina. Between those denser moments, shorter and quieter pieces like “POPS (POEM OF THE UNSUNG HERO)” work as thematic anchors, exactly because they don’t compete with the busier tracks. Doza isn’t just presenting a producer catalog here he’s guiding a curated journey through different street storytellers, connecting them without painting over their individual tone.

Erg One "Tsunami" (prod. BoneWeso) [VIDEO]

“Tsunami” makes it obvious from the title alone what register Erg One and BoneWeso are operating in. No delicate motif, no restrained intro the track is designed to represent force rather than hint at it. BoneWeso’s production carries that pressure through, while One Eye Films matches the visual energy directly. Erg One sits in a broader cluster around Estee Nack and 23 Incredible Industries, which places the cut inside a recognizable East Coast-adjacent frame without overloading it with features. No guest on the actual recording, but a clearly defined signature from start to finish. A direct record that doesn’t waste time explaining its own title.

Coast LoCastro "SIDIUS 2" [ALBUM]

“SIDIUS 2” continues Coast LoCastro’s concept from the first installment, but the web is tighter this time. Ten tracks, a compact runtime, and a notable feature profile. Rob Sonic appears on “NOBODIES HOME” a name carrying his own weight through Def Jux and Hail Mary Mallon history, immediately placing the album inside a specific underground lineage. Taboo shows up three times, on “NOBODIES HOME,” “YOU GONNA LEARN” and “IDC” alongside Coal, functioning almost as a secondary anchor voice throughout the record. Titles like “IRON MADE,” “FLOWERS FOR THE DEAD,” “WEDDING DAY” and “WALK THRU THE FIRE” already suggest that Coast LoCastro constructs his story through symbol and situation rather than pure street logic. It’s an album that reaches for more than bars alone, but never argues so loudly that the music gets buried underneath the concept.

Datkid "Smoked Out" (prod. Illinformed & Dumb Logic) [VIDEO]

“Smoked Out” places Datkid where he sounds strongest: over a dark, heavy UK production. This time Illinformed and Dumb Logic share the beat, which tightens the sonic architecture without making it feel overthought. The quoted line “Still I ain’t feeling to slow down…” essentially sums up the entire posture of the video: no retreat, no easing off, no need to explain his tone. High Focus once again delivers one of those Datkid records that translate instantly across the UK underground and beyond. Slugs’ visual language matches the track close, direct, unwilling to detour. Overall, “Smoked Out” lands more as confirmation than surprise. But with an artist like Datkid, that consistency is the actual point.

ullnevano "Sunshine" (feat. Kenn Starr, prod. Illien Rosewell) [SINGLE]

 

UllNevaNo, short for “You’ll Never Know,” brings Kenn Starr from the Low Budget camp onto a record produced by Norfolk’s Illien Rosewell. Over a familiar Roy Ayers sample, both MCs trade verses about what it actually feels like to keep chasing hip-hop dreams while carrying family, marriage and a nine-to-five at the same time. That’s exactly why “Sunshine” isn’t a simple feel-good record. It uses the image against itself: even when the sun is shining, darkness remains part of the picture. In a moment where a large portion of modern boom bap retreats into drumless loops and stock street rhetoric, “Sunshine” continues a different lineage the soulful, adult rap song where responsibility and perseverance sit on equal terms.

Meet The Greens (Mad1ne & Blazy Green) "Now Playing" [VIDEO]

Meet The Greens is the duo of Mad1ne and Blazy Green, and “Now Playing” arrives as the current visual preview for their upcoming album “Terrorize Everything.” The strength of a fixed duo shows up right away: clear division of voices, aligned cadences, no scramble for attention. Blazy Green has already built himself as an independent West Coast-adjacent voice, most notably through the “Los Antonios” series, while Mad1ne extends the collaboration with his own network work around Leo Jonez and the wider Ruler Why orbit. As a result, “Now Playing” doesn’t feel like an early sketch. It plays like a controlled opening move set the tone, define the mood, announce the album, but hold the full picture back.

Spade x Sythe "Still Standing" [SINGLE]

“Still Standing” connects Spade from Toronto with Sythe from Vancouver and turns that into an explicitly cross-country Canadian record. Sythe produces the whole cut, while Spade handles writing and vocals. Both artists operate in a darker, cinematic corner of the underground where imagery, street documentation and layered writing meet. That friction is what powers the record. Spade’s stream of visual detail partly graphic, partly almost literary lands over a foundation that refuses easy escape. The title fits that mode. “Still Standing” isn’t used as a shortcut motivational slogan here; it plays more like a personal accounting after difficult stretches. As a compact graphic-novel-style hip-hop moment, the track works precisely because it refuses to inflate itself.

40-40 (Last Measure & L.E.O.) "Darkside Of Humanity 2: Side C" [ALBUM]

 

“Darkside Of Humanity 2: Side C” officially closes the series and simultaneously stands as album number eleven in the 40-40 catalog from Last Measure and L.E.O. Eleven tracks, an unusually wide production cast Nekromantik, Xplicit, Seth Silensir, Cory Wolf, DJ Kesti, J Clef Beats and Skinny Bonez Tha Godfatha and yet a coherent sonic world, because the duo directs the overall tone and Sheldon “Finsta” Smith holds everything together as co-producer, mixer and master. The in-liner dedications RIP Carnage, Booga Brown, Black Xavier, Scott Bluntz, Billy Mage, Kechu Prod give the record additional emotional weight. Tracks like “What If God?,” “Fallen Angels,” “Alone In The Dark” and “Tranquility (Calm The Beast)” confirm that the “Darkside” series was never pure horror exercise or empty nihilism, but a framework for grief, systemic critique and self-examination. The fact that the album was recorded at Finsta’s “Fallout Shelter,” essentially L.’s living room, underscores its handmade, deeply independent character. This closing chapter reads more as a proper farewell than as a market move.

Iron Cladzmen "Iron Cladzmen (Disc Only)" [EP]

 

“Iron Cladzmen Disc Only” is deliberately built as a compressed physical statement. Seven entries, most of them under a minute, one just over this doesn’t function like a traditional EP so much as a self-contained CD/vinyl object designed to be experienced end-to-end. Legend handles most of the vocals, Prolific Thought Legend appears twice, and Cipha Lord shows up on the Bandcamp-exclusive cut. On production, DJ K.I. and Legend split the beats. That short-form structure is precisely the point. Instead of chasing runtime, the release captures the crew as a tight snapshot: identity, chemistry, chosen references. For crate-diggers and physical-first listeners, that kind of curatorial discipline often matters more than any promotional feature list.
