Gangrene (Alchemist and Oh No) – ‘Driving Gloves’ feat. Action Bronson
Gangrene (Alchemist and Oh No) have dropped the latest joint from upcoming new album You Disgust Me. Driving Gloves features Action Bronson, and the video might just be the most brilliantly fucked-up promo of all time. Watch the madness below.
Madlib & Sam Herring – ‘Trouble Knows Me’
Madlib is back with a new project which, after a few days of teasing, now transpires is a collaboration with rapper Sam Herring. Its dope as always from the master, and you can listen on the link to Rappcats below. Look out for more on the full EP in the coming weeks.
Listen here.
Debonair P – ‘Instrumentals 2’
Producer Debonair P has been crafting some incredible beats over the last couple of years, with highlights including the Truck Jewels & Filters album with K-Hill. This new mix gathers some of his best tracks, and sounds very nice indeed. Listen below.
The Chosen Few – ‘Time Capsule: The 1991 Demos’
Chopped Herring Records are at it again, unearthing more lost music, this time from Long Island crew The Chosen Few. The EP features De La Soul, and is well worth a listen. Check the sampler below, and keep them eyes peeled for more lost material from this impressive boutique label.

Finale – ‘Bits & Pieces’

Black Milk live set

Not The 1s – ‘You Wack’ feat. Kool Keith
Kool Keith guests on this new single from Not The 1s. Its taken from their upcoming Everybody’s Rappin album, and you can take a listen below. The artwork alone is something to behold.
Lone Catalysts – ‘Hot This Year’/’Rhyme & Uplift’
J Rawls and J Sands made some great music as Lone Catalysts during that golden era of indy hip-hop in the mid-late 90s. Dope Folks Records are gearing up to bring their sound back with The Prequel 94-96 EP, which we presume is a bunch of unreleased joints from that era. The EP will include these two lovely tracks, which you can check out below.
