Competition: Win 2 tickets to Get Out The Car with Buggsy
Last year we introduced you to the razor-sharp Bristol MC Buggsy. Since then he's been making movements, touring, collaborating and working on his second mixtapeA Bit of Bugz, which was released earlier this month. Next week he'll be headlining Get Out The Car at Bristol's Blue Mountain and we have two tickets to give away....
Ta-ku – Cutting With Textures (Ode To Chet Faker)
Chet Faker's been a lucky boy of late. First Nicolas Jaar gives one of his tracks the special treatment last week, and now Ta-Ku has done the same for his whole debut EP. The two have worked together previously (see below), and it's clear the Australian beatmaker has a lot of time for his fellow...
DRS – Soul Remembers (feat. Dub Phizix & Fox)
By my reckoning this is the first DnB post we’ve ever done, which should demonstrate just how good a track Soul Remembers is. Maybe it’s the relaxed delivery that comes with years in the game (DRS started MCing for Marcus Intalex at raves in the early ‘90s), or his deep Macnhunian timbre, but there’s something...
Preview: East Ender Festival 2012

Located in the cultural metropolis of East London, the three day arts and music micro-festival will take root at the Village Underground and Holywell Car Park,...
New Artist: Angel Haze
A few weeks ago, we brought you 17-year-old New York MC Joey Badda$$ and now here's another fresh-faced talent from the same ends. Angel Haze has been rapping since age 11 and nine years later, the frustration of a strict, religious upbringing in a military family comes spilling out in scornful, raw story-telling reminiscent...
House Shoes – Sweet (ft. Danny Brown)
New visuals for this sweet collab between two homegrown Detroit boys; Hip-Hop producer/DJ Michael "House Shoes" Buchanan and the wonderfully shrill Danny Brown. The track is off House Shoes' The Time EP, released back in May, and features a cartoon of Mr Brown rapping his lungs out. Simple and effective...

Interview: Brother Ali
As one of the most unique artists in Hip-Hop today, Brother Ali commands attention and respect. The 35-year-old American rapper has fought off discrimination from an early age, born an albino of white race who felt most at home amongst African Americans. And for around 20 years now, the musician (born Jason Newman) has been...
Anthony Valadez – Just Visiting
From what we've heard, if you live in L.A. and follow the Hip-Hop beat scene even just a smidge then you will have, at some point, witnessed an Anthony Valadez DJ set. The L.A. based Hip-Hop DJ/producer has residencies at some of the best clubs in and around California, not to mention a regular slot...
Flying Lotus + Earl Sweatshirt – Between Friends (Feat. Captain Murphy)
This year, Adult Swim and Kia have teamed up to release a bunch of exclusive and free tracks as part of their Singles Program. It's now in its third year and release number six today has particularly caught our eye. It teams up Brainfeeder boss and beatmaker extraordinaire, Flying Lotus, with enigmatic Odd Future MC...
New Artist: Wiki
The messiah of East-Coast Hip-Hop has landed in a neighborhood of Upper West Side, Manhattan, and comes in the form of 18-year-old gutter kid Wiki. Whilst Odd Future have exuded an MTV flex, bursting with trendy snapbacks, Supreme rags and skateboards on the West Side of America, New York has become a platform for left-field...
New Artist: Joey Badda$$
Be warned, if you're looking for some progressive Hip-Hop with innovative beats and provocative lyrics, look away now. If, however, you need to silence your rumbling appetite for Hip-Hop in its 90s heyday with something new, then Joey Bada$$ is your guy.
Wiley – Glam Nightclub
You would've thought signing to Warner could allow Wiley to loosen the reigns a bit, but this boy just don't stop working. His latest effort sees him rapping over Julio Bashmore's Battle For Middle You about (unsurprisingly) a nightclub called Glam. A quick Google leads to a club "in the heart of Wales's capital city"...
New Artist: A Yellow Man
You might remember a bike mad, London Hip-Hop group we posted a while back called 2morrow's Victory. If not, go check 'em out. If you do and approved as much as we did, then you're in for a treat. Despite the name, A Yellow Man it is not one man, but two - brothers Sam...
