  • Death Grips drops some new visuals for the track “Double Helix.” Like most music videos from these guys, the concept is simple, the budget it low, but it still manages to achieve a weird originality. Rapping into the camera built into the back of a car that’s supposed to

    Open Mike Eagle drops another track from his forthcoming album, 4NML HSPTL. We premiered a track from it last month right here. If you couldn’t already tell from the title above, this particular song features two gritty dudes: Kenny Segal and Danny Brown. The beat itself is pretty fantastic

    Dropping July 2nd on Error Broadcast, here’s a track we’re premiering from the upcoming H-SIK EP, Cocody. Originating from the Ivory Coast, French music producer H-SIK combines elements of African music and hip hop with the jittery and relentless rhythms of footwork. He executes this infusion with some
