MoeSQ is a collaborative beat tape from producers Moe Sample and SQ.

Both have well over 10 years of beat making under their belts, and catalogs of their own. It also bears mentioning that they are brothers - so it’s almost surprising that a project like this did not come about sooner.

The idea to collaborate on beats came up on a July 2025 visit to Moe’s house in Richmond, VA. The two went digging as they always do, and came back with a stack of records and tapes. A short session turned out a handful of beats that sounded a little different from what either of them would have made on their own. The goal on that day was not necessarily to make a full fledged project, but just to see what might happen. The two collaborated further in the remaining days of that visit, and remotely afterwards. Samples and partially formed ideas were passed between them and built upon over time. What you hear on MoeSQ is more than just a combination of each producer’s respective sound, it is something new altogether.

D-Stallone & Arkin "Par Excellence" [ALBUM]

01. Don’t Need Em

02. Take A Vacation

03. Give You My All

04. Roll Wit Me

05. Used To Love Em

06. Most Transparent

07. Came This Far Feat Triipout Wood

08. Angelic Feat D. Goynz

09. WhatYaWorth

10. Unstoppable

11. FeelItInMySoul

Par Excellence is the first official collaborative album from D-Stallone and Arkin, eleven tracks presenting a producer-MC partnership built for the long form. Arkin handles all production, and the project description situates the work somewhere between tonal range and thematic coherence – a balance that's harder to achieve than it sounds on a debut full-length. Features arrive from Triipout Wood and D. Goynz, both appearing briefly without distracting from the core duo. The album title positions the project with confidence, inviting comparison to what they see as their best possible work. For a debut joint album this kind of self-assurance is either earned or premature – the production and lyrical substance together will determine which. Independent release, direct to Bandcamp.

All City Anthom & The Architect "Unbalanced Equations" [ALBUM]

01. Harmony Of Precision

02. Eyez On The Prize

03. Lanes (Feat. Noose)

04. Ima Be

05. Aint Gon Save U

06. More Than Money

07. Investments (Feat. DJ Traps)

08. 64 Rollin (Feat. Butch Swim & Thatfool AL)

09. Food

10. Times Change (Feat. Fathom Flows)

11. Pardon Mi

This album connects two generations of South Bay hip-hop in a way that carries real weight. The Architect is Gary Herd, one half of Homeliss Derilex – the Milpitas-formed duo whose early 90s work was so singular that Peanut Butter Wolf, then based in San Jose himself, made them the second release on Stones Throw Records when he founded it in 1996, with their Cash Money 12-inch. Herd has remained productive across the decades that followed, working under his own label and imprint, building collaborative albums with a rotating cast of MCs, and developing a reputation as a producer whose obscure sample instincts and gritty drum work have outlasted trends without requiring reinvention. All City Anthom brings the contemporary South Bay MC perspective – San Jose and Milpitas, an area whose hip-hop history is genuine but rarely amplified beyond its own geography. Unbalanced Equations is eleven tracks of picture-painting bars over loops that feel lifted from a very specific vinyl crate: obscure, textured, not trying to be anything other than functional and felt. Features include Noose, DJ Traps, Butch Swim, Thatfool AL, and Fathom Flows, each appearing briefly without disrupting the album's tone.

Omega El CTM x Cheterioways "Grotesco" (feat. Jeff Turner & DJ Akrylik) [VIDEO]

Omega El CTM is a foundational figure in Chilean underground hip-hop – a veteran whose career stretches back to the early 2000s through the Hardcore Rap group Estrellas Del Porno, a formation he co-founded alongside Leviatan Zianlev, that helped establish a domestic aesthetic for raw, uncompromising Chilean rap with international reach. Grotesco is produced by Cheterioways and features Jeff Turner alongside DJ Akrylik – the latter a recurring collaborator in Omega's discography whose turntable work has been present across multiple projects. The track, which shares its title with what appears to be an upcoming full album concept, is a direct, abrasive entry point: Omega's delivery is confrontational and technically confident, rooted in a tradition that kept boom bap and hardcore rap values alive in the Southern Hemisphere while the format was evolving elsewhere. For an international underground audience, this is South American hip-hop that doesn't accommodate the listener – it demands engagement on its own terms.

Nowaah The Flood x Get Large "Sunbeams" [VIDEO]

Sunbeams functions as a standalone visual entry point into the Iron Decree project, produced by Get Large and presenting Flood in his most stripped-down mode: no features, no excess, the MC and the production in direct dialogue. Get Large builds a foundation that is clean without being sterile, leaving room for Flood's narrative style to land on its own terms. For those encountering this record for the first time through the visual, it's a clean representation of what the full project offers.

Ben Shorr x Madrock "From The Inside" (feat. Ghost Dog) [VIDEO]

From The Inside is a track from Ben Shorr's 2017 album Pyrokinesis – produced by Madrock and featuring Ghost Dog, now receiving renewed visual exposure through the Snowgoons platform, which makes sense given that Shorr appears on their 2026 release Black Snow 3, reinforcing a real working relationship with the German production outfit. Shorr is a Philadelphia-based MC whose approach favors quick wit, gritty delivery, and narrative-driven bars over abstract posturing – a style that translates cleanly to the Snowgoons sonic template of heavy drums and orchestral pressure. The Pyrokinesis album represented his second full-length, executive produced alongside Darren Elder and Jake Wertman, and positioned him as a technician with range. The video recontextualization makes this feel current without overstating its own reach.

Vocab Slick x Surebert "Golden Brush" [VIDEO]

Vocab Slick has been one of the most consistent voices out of California's northern Bay Area – Santa Rosa, 707, a region that doesn't carry the commercial gravity of the Bay's more recognized corridors but has produced committed, technically focused hip-hop for decades. Golden Brush is the title track from his Dreaming In Overtime EP, produced by Surebert, a longtime creative partner whose bass-heavy, textured production has provided the backdrop for some of Slick's sharpest work including tracks off his Language LP. The connection between these two is not incidental – Slick has explicitly acknowledged Surebert as central to his sound, and that rapport is audible in how comfortably the rapper occupies the production's space. Mixed and mastered by Starski, the track is a clean showcase for what Vocab Slick does best: internal rhyme architecture, no-nonsense delivery, and lyrical construction that rewards close listening. The video, directed by Will Rushton, keeps the visual presentation matched to the music's directness.

De La Soul "A Quick 16 for Mama" (feat. Killer Mike) [VIDEO]

Cabin In The Sky, released on Mass Appeal Records as part of the label's ambitious Legend Has It... series, is De La Soul's most emotionally weighted project in decades – a record made in the shadow of Dave Jolicoeur's death, yet grounded in exactly the musical values that defined the group from the start: warmth, craft, tonal range, and an undiminished capacity for connecting with the human detail inside a song. A Quick 16 for Mama, featuring Killer Mike, is one of the project's more focused and deliberate moments – lyrically direct, with the feature appearing briefly alongside the group's own verse work. The production on Cabin In The Sky draws on a remarkable roster including DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Jake One, and Nottz, while features range from Q-Tip and Nas to Common, Black Thought, Slick Rick, and Bilal – a guest list that reflects De La's standing across every generation of the culture. The album is not a comeback record; it is a continuation, and a document of what it means to carry a legacy forward while still making the music personal.

SoulFu x Lethal Needle "Calculated Risk" [VIDEO]

SoulFu is a Bronx-born duo comprising Shao Dre and Curt Lamont, presenting Calculated Risk as the lead visual from their debut full-length DaToGoPlateTape Vol. 1. Produced by Lethal Needle and directed by J. Kobena, the video is clean and minimal – the music carrying the weight without elaborate production design. The Bronx origin matters here: SoulFu aren't wearing it as a credential, they're operating from it, and the directness of the track reflects that grounding. For a debut project the approach is confident – no hedging, no chasing trends, just a duo presenting themselves on their own terms. The DaToGo framing in the project title suggests a DIY, to-go format aesthetic that fits the no-frills presentation of the single.

Norman Sann "The Monsters They Made" [ALBUM][VIDEO]

Norman Sann is a Houston-based rapper, producer, and multi-instrumentalist who operates almost entirely self-sufficiently – writing, producing, and recording most of his material independently, with J Patz as a recurring production collaborator. The Monsters They Made is a 14-track mixtape made available early to his community ahead of its wider rollout. The project title frames what Sann has been doing across his catalog: examining the environment, the pressures, and the systems that produce both the person and the performer. His production sensibility reaches beyond boom bap into a broader nostalgic territory that draws on church music, soul, and organic instrumentation, and his delivery ranges from technically focused rapping to melodic hooks depending on what the track demands. How Do I Move Forward, the lead visual produced by Noire, is a clear entry point – introspective, grounded, undecorated. For a Texas artist whose rise came partly through social media, the music itself is more rooted and traditional than the platform might suggest.

Kakarot & Bare Beats "Starfish Lullabies" [VIDEO]

Kakarot is a British MC who has been building a reputation in the UK underground through what is described by those close to the scene as accomplished versemanship – technically dense lyricism delivered with a quality of attention that distinguishes him from less deliberate performers in the same space. Starfish Lullabies is produced by Bare Beats and is presented as a preview for the full album of the same name, arriving on Receptor Records and Hidden Identity Productions in the physical formats that matter most in this corner of the culture: CD, tape, and vinyl. Bare Beats provides a production environment that lets the lyrical content breathe without overwhelming it, and the visual for the single was handled by Kakarot himself – keeping the DIY thread consistent throughout. Receptor Records has established itself as a UK label that takes the physical release seriously, and this collaboration is a natural fit for both artists' sensibilities.

Dezert Eagle "Gold Flowers" [VIDEO]

Dezert Eagle has been one of South London's more understated but consistently capable MCs for well over a decade – a British-Ghanaian artist whose lyrical formation draws from the classic traditions of American hip-hop while operating with a distinctly UK sensibility in phrasing and perspective. Gold Flowers is a formal technical showcase: a single sixteen-minute song spanning fifty different instrumentals mixed by Ethan Hill, through which Dezert weaves references to artists, producers, podcasts, and labels into the wordplay itself, paying tribute to the history of the genre through the act of rapping over it. The exercise calls for real breath control, lyrical agility, and beat-switching fluidity that not every MC can sustain at this length without losing the thread. Gang Starr, DMX, and Immortal Technique are among the touchstones he engages. It's a demanding format – sixteen minutes of unbroken bars is as much stamina test as artistry exercise – and it reads as a genuine flowers-giving effort rather than a stunt.

JOHNNYTRA$H & Jazzy Lion Man "Kill 2 Eat" [EP]

Jazzy Lion Man has built one of the more prolific and self-sufficient catalogs in the American underground – a Delaware-based producer who operates at an output level that would be unsustainable without genuine consistency of quality, treating the album format as a continuous log rather than a periodic statement event. Kill 2 Eat pairs him with JOHNNYTRA$H, an MC who has appeared in his extended circle across recent releases including the Just Trying To Get By project, making this collab a formalization of a working relationship already in motion. Nine tracks, direct and economical, rooted in the kind of MPC-textured abstract hip-hop that trades in feel, grain, and mood rather than pop architecture. The Kill 2 Eat title positions the project in a corner of the underground that values rawness and survival-mode energy over comfort – a framing consistent with both artists' broader aesthetic. Independent, no overhead.

Big Twins "Grime Out" (prod. DJ Woool) [VIDEO]

Big Twins is one of the most reliably grounded MCs in the Queensbridge tradition – raised in the Queensbridge Houses, debuting in 1996 on Mobb Deep's extended circle, and building a working catalog through associations with The Alchemist, from whom he drew production early on for tracks that became cornerstones of his identity. Grime Out is produced by DJ Woool, a producer he has worked with extensively since the TG1 mixtape era, and the pairing remains one of the more natural fits in the underground: Woool's blechern, paranoia-adjacent boom bap pressure meeting the raspy, lived-in delivery of an MC who has never sounded anything other than exactly himself. Big Twins doesn't update his sound for market conditions; he simply continues to inhabit it, and that consistency is its own kind of statement. The video, filmed and edited by Hostage Media, keeps the visual language matched to the music's no-nonsense character.

Dave East "Brick By Brick" (EASTMIX) [VIDEO]

Dave East has maintained one of the most productive release cadences in New York rap over the past several years, and the EASTMIX series functions as the connective tissue between larger project rollouts – a format that keeps his audience close without requiring the full apparatus of an album campaign. Brick By Brick is the latest entry in that ongoing series, directed by Watch The Screen, and sits alongside the recent For The Love 2.5 and Karma 4 Deluxe as part of a release strategy that's as deliberate about pacing as it is about content. East's particular gift remains his ability to deliver Harlem-rooted narrative with consistent technical discipline – the delivery is never casual, even when the context is looser than a formal single. The EASTMIX format suits his strengths precisely because it removes the pressure of statement-making and allows the pen to work without ceremony.

RHYMRCKA "The Introduction" [VIDEO]

RHYMRCKA has been a consistent presence in New York's independent underground through DCM Entertainment – a label with a real track record in quality-controlled releases, whose roster includes artists who operate in the serious, craft-focused end of the genre. The Introduction is his first solo release tied to the forthcoming project ASG, self-produced under the credit Prod. By Rcka, and distributed through Sony/The Orchard. The single does exactly what its title suggests: it establishes position, sets tone, and functions as a formal entry point rather than a hype play. DCM's approach to releasing music – deliberate, controlled, without overstating the moment – suits this kind of track. For those familiar with RHYMRCKA through his previous DCM work including The Frequency album, ASG represents the continuation of a solo catalog that has been building steadily.

Tha 4orce "March On" [SINGLE]

March On arrives as a 20th anniversary marker for Tha 4orce's Mind The Gap Anthems V2, and the London-based producer-artist brings the weight of that occasion without making it feel commemorative in a heavy-handed way. The track is co-produced with Nash, with Pete Cherry adding live bass – an organic element that enriches the sound and keeps it from feeling overly digital or template-driven. Thematically, March On is about exactly what the title suggests: keeping forward momentum through loss, change, and the difficulty of uncertain periods. Tha 4orce has built Mind The Gap Recordings as a label precisely on this kind of independence – a long-term body of work built outside commercial frameworks, sustained by craft and conviction. The live instrumentation element is worth noting; not many independent UK hip-hop artists are still routing their records through that kind of organic production approach, and it gives March On a warmth that distinguishes it from harder-edged contemporaries.

Säge, The 64th Wonder "Meal Ticket 5" [EP]

Sage The 64th Wonder has built a quietly significant catalog out of Chicago without much noise – a rapper-producer who self-releases at his own rhythm and maintains near-total control over how his work reaches the audience, including limiting public streaming previews to protect the creative integrity of the full projects. Meal Ticket 5 is the latest in that ongoing series, seven tracks running tight and efficient with SolarFive as the sole feature. The Meal Ticket series has operated as a recurring format within a larger discography that also includes the Sagewav instrumental runs, Supreme Order of Slump projects, and collaborative work – a body of work that rewards sustained attention over casual grazing. The Chicago underground has produced artists who work this way – deliberate, independent, indifferent to the cycle – and Sage represents that ethos clearly.

Rahiem Supreme "Microdosing" [VIDEO]

Rahiem Supreme remains one of the most interesting MCs currently working out of Washington D.C. – a self-contained creative force whose flow and lyricism operate in a register that borrows from Slick Rick's storytelling craft and Sadat X's conversational ease while arriving somewhere entirely his own. Microdosing is the latest visual from a catalog that has grown at a pace that would be staggering if it weren't consistently substantive: multiple projects per year, cross-continental vinyl collaborations including recent work with Long Beach's Wun Two on Sichtexot Records, and an aesthetic that resists easy categorization. His lyrical gift is for stacking imagery – scenes that feel specific, autobiographical, and oddly cinematic without ever leaning into performance. Microdosing sits within that tradition, offering another episode in a catalog that keeps building.
