Saint Parrish featuring Mick Jenkins - "Blue Bills"

Mick Jenkins blesses a smooth and soulful loosie from Saint Parrish with a batch of booming bars.

Smoke DZA & R.F.C. featuring Conway The Machine - "Lavish"

Conway The Machine joins Smoke DZA, Nym Lo, and Jayy Grams, for a vicious vice rap spectacle off the trio's new album, Money is The Motive Pt. 1.

CRIMEAPPLE - "Lizzo"

A glimmering and cinematic standout from CRIMEAPPLE's latest project, Mátalos Con Mas Éxitos, which snuck under the radar over the holidaze.

Keenyn Omari - "Don't ask"

Keenyn Omari is finally porting his catalog to the non-Bandcamp streamers. Today, he dropped the mammoth Sine Qua Non tape, anchored by this neck-cranking instrumental and far too many others.

Stimulator Jones - "Don't Be Afraid"

Stimulator Jones steps into a hyper-swung mood with this warm and buoyant smoke-out suite from his new instrumental album for Mutual Intentions, La Mano. 

Apifera - "Four Green Yellows"

Following a few appearances on recent Stones Throw releases, Apifera commit their gorgeous fusion funk to full-length format, sharing their debut album with the legendary indie, Overstand. The 10-track project hits a particularly headie high on this sleek and buzzing campaign-starter.

OG Swaggerdick - "Whip Fast"

OG Swaggerdick props up his hilarious mini-project, Flaccid Rap, with a mood unto itself. And it'll demand to be the score of your next lap (or twelve) around the block.

DJ Muggs - "The Chosen One"

The mighty DJ Muggs signals his next phase with a characteristically ghoulish single from his upcoming solo album, Dies Occidendum.
