Infinity Knives x Brian Ennals

Baltimore hip-hop duo Infinity Knives and Brian Ennals dropped their new "AMDIA" EP this morning, and it's got all the unique, underground production, stylistic left turns, and pissed off, left wing lyrical content we've come to expect.  Listen to the scathing title track below ("If you're an ICE agent, kill yourself...your kids are better off without you") and download everything here from Phantom Limb.

Shabazz Palaces

I am not going to be able to post nearly as much music today as i had intended to.  I'm drowning in my workload and it's looking like this week is going to, in a word, suck.  So, before i head back to the salt mine, here's some cool new music from Seattle based hip-hop artist Shabazz Palaces.  New album "It's a Style Sport" is out in October.  Pre-order it here from Sub Pop and listen to "Ahh World (I Won the Alpha Bet)" below.

Good news everyone!  Aside from spooky treats, October also brings us new music from electronic artist Odd Nosdam.  Dig on the chilled out, hip-hop-tinged "Get You In (Belong Mix)" below and pre-order the upcoming "On Patrol" LP here.

Erykah Badu & The Alchemist

Oh man, i had no idea this was a thing.  Dallas R&B artist and all around hip chick Erykah Badu is dropping a new album with hip-hop producer extraordinaire The Alchemist.  Hell yeah.  And it features guest appearances from Earl Sweatshirt, Westside Gunn, Kamasi Washington, and more.  Check out the groovy "Witch Doctor" below and grab the "Before the World Blows" LP here from Young.

Captain Murphy

Last night i was lucky enough to get out an see the new kung fu movie "The Furious."  To put it bluntly, it ruled.  And there's some truly excellent fight choreography throughout.  Anyhoo, the closing credits features a new track from Flying Lotus hip-hop alter-ego Captain Murphy.  Check out "Mudhole," featuring additional production from Little Snake, below and download it here from Brainfeeder.

JPEGMAFIA

Experimental rapper JPEGMAFIA dropped a new album of experimental rap last week, and it's a bumping earful.  Check out the frenetic and noisy "Babygirl" below and download the appropriately titled "Experimental Rap" album here from the artist.

Here's some cool and chill new hip-hop from Boston rapper Avenue and producer Grubby Pawz.  New album "Fortune Favors Risk" is out now.  Get it here quick from Daupe Records, as the label's vinyl releases tend to sell out within hours, and check out "9 Ways" featuring Hil Holla and Caliph below.

Daily Jam - Dangerous

Listening to '90s hip-hop makes me an old man.  Be old with me and listen to some Busta Rhymes.  Check out "Dangerous" below, our Daily Jam.

LAMB

LAMB is the project of Athens, Georgia producer Marcel Sletten.  Inspired by the work of Nicolas Jaar and J. Dilla, the artist is set to drop the self-titled EP later this month, full of chilled out instrumental hip-hop.  Dig on "LAMB 001" below and pre-order the download here from Primordial Void.

Bricknasty

One of the artists that i meant to check out during SXSW is Dublin's experimental R&B, hip-hop, and neo-soul artist Bricknasty.  Typically during the fest i try to see some stuff outside of my normal wheelhouse, but it was not to be this year with this particular artist.  The timing just never worked.  Anyway, digging into his "Blacks Law" album from last October, and it's a weird, sometimes glitchy, sometimes smooth and soulful affair.  Check out a combination of all of that on "Bombs" below and download the album here from FAMM.

Lice

Lice is the hip-hop duo of Aesop Rock and Homeboy Sandman, and they just dropped new album "Miami Lice: Season 4" earlier this month.  We stan Aesop Rock around these parts, so any project he's involved with or pops up on gets ample play here.  Dig on "Burnt Mauve" below and download the album here or pick up the vinyl here from Rhymesayers.

Daily Jam - Boobie Miles

Back in the day, this song used to be my ringtone.  It was awesome.  Maybe i should bring it back.  Anyway, let's all listen to Big K.R.I.T.'s 2012 track "Boobie Miles."  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Lip Critic

Aw shit, it looks like we've got some new music from New York's Lip Critic on the horizon with this May's new album "Theft World."  For the uninitiated, the band makes a hyper, frenetic mix of noise rock, hip-hop, hardcore punk, and electronic weirdness.  Definitely worth checking out live if you get a chance.  Dig on new track "Legs in a Snare" below and pre-order the LP here from Partisan Records.
