Insane Clown Posse Set 21st Annual Gathering of the Juggalos For August 19-21

Yesterday, the Insane Clown Posse took to their social media accounts saying they had a huge announcement coming within the next 24 hours. Fast forward to this afternoon, they revealed the 21st annual Gathering of the Juggalos is going down at Legend Valley in Thornville, Ohio from August 19-21. The infamous Detroit horrorcore duo received a lot of attention from the media when they cancelled last year’s Gathering due to the COVID-19 pandemic but since things are starting to return to normal with states opening up again & lifting mandates, it’s only right for Psychopathic Records to host one of if not THE biggest underground festival there is for the first time in almost 2 years.

Novatore & C-Lance – “Embrace the Darkness II: Explorers of Experience” (Album Review)

Novatore is a 33 year old MC from Chicago, Illinois coming up as a member of the Infamous Crew . He’s also built up an impressive solo career in the last 6 years by dropping 4 EPs & 7 albums, the previous being Portrait of a Mad Man this past November. But given his history with Enemy Soil Entertainment in-house producer C-Lance , it’s only right for them to drop a sequel to Embrace the Darkness . After the “Demon to Some” intro, the first song “Antisocial” is a boom bap banger about how Novatore doesn’t like people whereas “Smoke & Mirrors” goes into a more operatic direction to tell listeners what you thought it was is something that isn’t. NEMS comes along for the atmospheric “Myth” pretty much saying their success was imminent while the somewhat quirkily-produced “Embrace the Darkness” opens up about losing faith watching people die. Meanwhile with “Mask Up”, we get a Japanese sample in the beat as Novatore teams up with G-Mo Skee sending warning shots to their naysayer...

Apathy – “Where the River Meets the Sea” (Album Review)

Apathy is a 42 year old emcee/producer from Willimantic, Connecticut coming up just 2 decades back as a member of the Demigodz & the Army of the Pharaohs collectives founded by Open Mic & Vinnie Paz respectively. He was also signed to Atlantic Records at one point, but left due to creative differences. Since then The Alien Tongue has built up quite the solo discography on his own, with my favorites being 2011’s Honkey Kong! & even his previous album The Widow’s Son in 2018. But after years in the making, Ap is finally releasing his 7th full-length outing. The title track following the “Headwater” intro kicks things off with a glossy tribute to his father & after “The Ocean” interlude, we get some cinematic string sections “Jonathan Livingston Seagull” & the lyrical theme of it was inspired by the opening line off one of my favorite Public Enemy songs “Welcome to the Terrordome”. We go into a more soulful direction with the confrontational “We Don’t Fuck Aroun...

Edo.G & Insight Innovates – Self-Titled (Album Review)

This is a brand new collaborative album between Boston veterans Edo.G & Insight Innovates . Both emcees have collaborated before on songs like “Strategy” off the latter’s 2004 classic The Blast Radius but all these years later, they’ve decided to come together for an eponymous full-length outing. “Just Listen” is a plain & simple opener to the album with it’s flute-inflicted boom bap production as the whole thing starts off with the duo telling Siri they wants something classic, but not trendy just before telling listeners to remember who they are on the dreamy albeit punchy “It’s Edo & Insight”. With the perfectly titled “Never Too Late to Correct Your Mistakes”, we get some grand string sections with lyrics about righting your wrongs whereas “Choose Your Path” provides food for thought over a luxurious instrumental. Meanwhile on “Good in Goodbye”, we go into a somewhat funkier direction as the 2 talk about breakups leading up to them telling the listener that life isn’t...

The Truth & Frank B. – “Badfellas” (EP Review)

This is a brand new collaborative debut EP between New York emcees The Truth & Frank B . The pair first came together last year on the song “I Know I Can” off of The Truth’s Spring EP & with the 1 year anniversary of that project coming up this weekend, they’ve seen fit to take listener through what it means to be Italian-American hip hop fans by crafting Badfellas . After the “Lil Mo Mozzarella” intro, the title track incorporates some harps into a boom bap instrumental as the duo take a Ray Liotta quote from Goodfellas about wanting to be a gangster for as long as he can remember & making it into their own before lacing some keyboards & an organ on the money hungry “Fuck U Pay Me”. The homie Bobby J from Rockaway tags along for “Paint Houses” as the 3 show homage to The Irishman before going into a more rubbery direction on “Funny How?” as they put their own spin on a Joe Pesci quote from Goodfellas . Meanwhile, we have Cold Shoulda stopping by for the quasi...

BarDaStar – “Wishing On A Star” (Video)

Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn rapper BarDaStar drops his signature bars in his new video, “Wishing on a Star”. I made wishing on a  star because I’ve loved the original version since I was a kid, and that song has gotten me through some hard times in my life, from jail, Being homeless, and not having my father and mother around much growing up I had to figure it all at early as a kid, and made plenty of mistakes from than moving forward, so I figured the original version had sentimental value to me so it was only right that I did my version in respect to Rolls Royce the original group who did the song. – BarDaStar The post BarDaStar – “Wishing On A Star” (Video) first appeared on UndergroundHipHopBlog . source https://undergroundhiphopblog.com/videos/bardastar-wishing-on-a-star-video/

Kool Keith Drops His Third Single From Upcoming Album “Keith’s Salon”

Written with a libidinal urgency that has come to characterize  Kool Keith ’s  legendary lyricism,  Keith’s Salon  explores our current obsessions with luxury, beauty, and notoriety. But rather than fetishize the beautiful dum-dums who walk red carpets in black Prada gowns, Kool Keith’s most recent studio album shifts our attention to the work and workers that underpin our fantasies of American excess and the good life. As such, the album is also a timely meditation, during quarantine, on the economic precarity many of us now find ourselves in. Having teamed up with  Triple Parked , the production duo of avant-techno maven  Bruno Pronsato  and  Benjamin Jay   Keith’s Salon  moves between halcyon sonics and atonal warlord dystopia, while keeping beats minimal for Kool Keith to spread extra ketchup on the hamburger. An album at once topical and futuristic, lush and bizarre,  Keith’s Salon  is about the business of making people b...

UFO Fev’s New Single “Magnum Opus” Is The Intro To His Greatest Work Yet

If you’re still sleeping on UFO Fev , you need to stop fronting. He dropped full-length albums with some of the most respected producers in underground Hip-Hop last year, including Statik Selektah , Big Ghost Ltd , and Termanology . Not to mention, this East Harlem native has been part of Fat Joe’s Terror Squad for a couple years now. That should be enough co-signs for even the most discerning head. So far this year he has already released a critically-praised project with Frank The Butcher titled “The Thrill.” However, he’s keeping his foot on the competition’s neck by coming right back with “ Magnum Opus ,” the lead single off his upcoming album of the same name. The track is produced by STER, who also handles beats on the rest of the LP. Listen close to the bars on this one, because as Fev says on the hook, “This might be the most important song that I ever wrote.” The post UFO Fev’s New Single “Magnum Opus” Is The Intro To His Greatest Work Yet first appeared on UndergroundHipHopB...

everywhere- “YOUNIVERSE” (Album Review)

  is an up-and-coming underground hip-hop artist. This year, he released a new album titled “YOUNIVERSE” . With a chance at rising to stardom, will everywhere seize the opportunity? Through a mere eight tracks, everywhere creates an enjoyable experience that maps out his strengths and covers his weaknesses. His charisma echoes throughout the LP, and his subject matter coincides with this. Mostly he’s talking about pretty basic topics such as how good his music is, the chasing of his dreams, and braggadocios subjects in general, but the enjoyable coating over these somewhat lifeless words keeps things interesting enough to keep the listener captivated. Moments like “In Due Time” and “Respect” especially stood out due to the slew of memorable one-liners these two possessed. While his technical ability isn’t as proficient as many other underground MCs, everywhere garners his power through his clever writing and dynamic vocals.

Supaman is an Apsáalooke emcee from Crow Agency, Montana known for founding the group Rezawrecktion, but broke out solo off Honest to God following their disbandment. Billy Ills has since followed it up with 4 more full-lengths but to celebrate the birthday of his son & Biggie Smalls, he’s celebrating by putting out his 5th album. The opener “1 More” starts things off sampling one of my all-time favorite Goodie Mob songs “Cell Therapy” as Supaman spits some hardcore lyricism whereas the next track “I Hope You Know” goes full-blown indigenous from the production to Ashley Hall singing in Apsáalooke start to finish. After the “Stay Connected” skit, we get an electronic-influenced response to mass incarcerations with “Know Better Do Better” while the streams of consciousness continue on the boom bap-inflicted “Eclipse” featuring Saigon . Meanwhile on “Alright”, we get a cheery anthem about making it through tough times kicked off with a sample of the iconic Bob Marley joint “3 Little...

Mach-Hommy – “Pray for Haiti” (Album Review)

Mach-Hommy is a 38 year old MC from Newark, New Jersey breaking out in 2017 when he dropped his sophomore album H.B.O. (Haitian Body Odor) under Griselda Records . However, he & Tha God Fahim fell out with the label shortly after only for both of them to reconcile this past Christmas. But since May is Haitian Heritage Month, we have Mach marking his return to the Buffalo powerhouse by dropping his 5th full-length album to celebrate. “The 26th Letter” is a trumpet-laced opener where Mach goes on about rearranging the whole game whereas the next song “No Blood Sweat” jumps on a pillowy Camoflauge Monk instrumental to say he taking food out cats’ mouths. Westside Gunn hops on “Folie á Deux” as he & Mach tell all the fuckboys that they’re finished over a psychedelic boom bap beat from Conductor Williams before declaring every day as Easter Gunnday on the soulful “Maxron Jaxon”. “The Stellar Ray Theory” was a great choice for a lead single with its sax-heavy production & the...
