Featuring Freddie Gibbs with production by Hippie Sabotage, “Creepin” is a great song to help us bide our time while we await the full mixtape release. Club Wiley is coming...
Chicago rapper YP just released this new track, “Black Sheep.” The song, which won’t be on the upcoming Restless, is produced by Xcel. YP goes in on the song with a smooth vocal delivery.

One of my favorite songs of last fall was “Runaway” by Chandler London and Blakkass Westley featuring Cadillac Duke. The beat, produced by Savier of Animuse/TBO fame, was haunting and atmospheric that was able to complement each rapper’s vastly different rap styles. Savier has some production chops, and thankfully, we got some new work from...

Theaters have always...
Fun fact: The very first album I bought as a high schooler was Daft Punk’s Discovery back in the fall of 2001. I’ve never been a huge fan of dance/techno/house music, but I was enthralled by the robotic duo’s anime videos for the Discovery singles and absolutely had to check the rest of the album out.
