    The Needle Drop

    California MC and Black Hippie affiliate Ab-Soul drops a new track featuring Jhene Aiko and Detroit madman Danny Brown. Though I’ve loved hearing Ab on the material of other MCs, including Kendrick Lamar and Jay Rock, his debut album, Longterm Mentality, just didn’t come off that exciting to

    Black Breath- "Mother Abyss"

    The Needle Drop

    [audio:http://www.southernlord.com/mp3/6.%20Mother%20Abyss.mp3]MP3 Black Breath is a Seattle band I fell quickly in and out of love with in ’09 and ’10. The adrenaline-pumping riffs on the band’s debut EP on Southern Lord were satisfying, but the band didn’t bring
