Germany has some amazing hip hop producers. From Snowgoons to Ancient Astronauts to this, there has been some really impressive stuff coming from Germany in the past few years or so. I won’t claim to be too knowledgeable about JR and PH7, but I think that it’s about time I get familiar. Teaming up with [...]
Hot off the release of the Low Budget mixtape, Kenn Starr surprised us internet dwellers today with his own mixtape. While there’s nothing new on this (aside from one track, The Dropoff), there are some freestyles and features you might have missed. This includes work with Marco Polo, Wale, Kev Brown, Oddisee, Haysoos, Soulstice, Kaimbr [...]
Random Axe, the supergroup of Sean Price, Guilty Simpson, and Black Milk is going to start taking over soon. It’s inevitable, so you might as well get in ahead of the curve. The combination of some of the rawest, grimiest talents in hip hop sounds pretty much exactly how you would expect. Raw and grimey. [...]
Since the death of the late great J Dilla, hip hop has seen the rumblings of a major sonic storm brewing in the city of Detroit.

10 Albums to Chill to:
1. Flying Lotus – Los Angeles
2. Panacea – A Mind on a Ship [...]
If you haven’t heard Black Milk’s new album Tronic… get on it. You’re missing out. This is probably one of the best cuts off the album, and the video is really cool. So watch it.

Here’s part two of my interview with Kidz in the Hall. Enjoy!
In[di]visible: So after this tour are you guys heading into the studio to work on your next album or looking to start other projects?
Double-O: We’re still doing more shows. That’s what we always talk about now. The reality is that we’re independent artists and [...]
Tronic is going to be a great album. Just wanna throw that out there. This track is so dope. This is the kind of stuff that got me to fall in love with hip hop. This beat is so grimey… the drums, the vocal sample, and of course that simple, driving bass. Hip Hop [...]
