The Beat Konducta Madlib has unleashed a new edition of the Mind Fusion series, named African Earwax. A tiny run of 30 physical copies were manufactured and snapped-up at a recent Rappcats pop-up shop in L.A., complete with hand-drawn designs from MF Doom cover artist Jason Jegel, but you can stream the whole thing in its digital form below. Dope as always.
Listen here.
Oddisee is a busy man these days, but has somehow squeezed in time to guest on this nice joint from Juju Rogers, charting the stress and strains that go hand-in-hand with trying to make it in the rap game. Its taken from Roger’s From The Life of a Good-For-Nothing album coming soon, and you can listen below.
Akrobatik is back on fine form with this head-nodder from an upcoming album with producer LX Beatz, out of Finland. Watch the video for Shotgun below, and look out for the full project when it drops.
Indy legend Shabaam Sahdeeq has hooked up with Innocent? again for new single Came Up, following on from their previous joint a few weeks back, The Zone. Tek from Bucktown’s finest Smif-N-Wessun is on this one too, and its another certified banger. Listen below, and shout us with your comments.
Boutique UK label Chopped Herring has been dropping all types of gems recently, and the run continues with the crazy video for Dos Equis, by Da Buze Bruvas, from their Straight Shotz In Dirty Glassez EP, out now. Watch below, and stick around until the end for a taco cooking masterclass.
Fatnice is new on our radar, but this single from his recent It’s Nice To Meet You album is crazy dope. Find out for yourself by watching the slick video below, then head over here to stream and buy the full project.
A few days ago we wrote about the dope new Chilled Not Frozen EP from Chill Rob G and Bankrupt Europeans, but there’s also now a video for the single Tell ‘Em. It features fellow legend R.A. The Rugged Man, and you can watch it below. Let us know what you think.
Furious Five legend Kidd Creole makes an appearance on this great new track from the Filthy Brotherz. No word about if this is from an upcoming album, but it sounds good, and its nice to hear the old school legend still doing it.
The recent A Thoughtiverse Unmarred album from Georgia Anne Muldrow is pretty good, and should hopefully see the talented artist get opened up to the type of wider acclaim she deserves. There’s also now a video for single Arkansas, produced by Chris Keys, and you can check it out below.
Oddisee has been further spreading the word from his excellent The Good Fight album with a performance for the NPR Tiny Desk Concert series. It’s nice and intimate, allowing the rather shy Oddisee to show everyone exactly what he does best. Watch below, and go get the album if you haven’t yet – its dope.
Watch here.
