Video: Durag Dynasty feat. Prodigy – “Fish Meat”

Alchemist beat, Prodigy guest verse – safe to assume this new Durag Dynasty video is gonna be dope, and it is.


Sounds: RJD2 – “Her Majesty’s Socialist Request”

From his forthcoming album, More Is Than Isn’t (out 10/8), RJD2 does what he does – this time incorporating some power chords into the mix.


Video: U-God – “Skyscraper”

The unduly but usually underrated U-God (how’s that for alliteration?) has a new album out, Keynote Speaker, and you can watch the video for “Skyscraper” below. “NY State of Mind” or even “Empire State of Mind” it’s not, but clearly the man loves his city.


Sounds: Crystal Antlers – “Rattlesnake”

Just good, solid (indie) rock and roll. New picture disc single out 9/24.


Sounds: Youth Code – “Carried Mask”

’90s industrial sounds making me think of Pailhead.


Sounds: Sebadoh – “I Will”

I miss college. New album, Defend Yourself, out 9/17.


Video: Bishop Nehru – “Mobb Dizzle”

I’m feeling Bishop Nehrizzle, aren’t you?


Sounds: Earl Sweatshirt feat. Vince Staples and Casey Veggies – “Hive”


Sounds: Nightmares on Wax – “Feelin’ Good”

Nightmares on Wax’s new take on the classic trip-hop and downtempo he’s done so well in the past. New album, Feelin’ Good, out 9/17.


Video: Braids – “In Kind”

Braids keep making beautiful music, and I can’t wait for the band’s new album, Flourish // Perish, out 8/20.


Sounds: Traams – “Flowers”

Nasal, British, perky indie rock. New album out this September.


Sounds: Grooms – “I Think We’re Alone Now”

So good, in a Daydream Nation kinda way.


Video: Run The Jewels – “36” Chain”

Fucking puppet-nappers.


Sounds: Sal Mineo (Xiu Xiu and Eugene S. Robinson) – “The Primary Bell”

Mope collabo extraordinaire.


Video: Infamous Sunn (Big Twins and Prodigal Sunn) – “Block Holiday”

Getting ready for the neighborhood block party next month…
