    Ab-Soul- "Terrorist Threats" (ft. Danny Brown & Jhene Aiko)

    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

    Jay Electronica- "Dear Molskine"

    The Needle Drop

    Produced by Just Blaze, Jay Electronica drops a new track titled “Dear Molskine.” Whether or not it’s a taste of a full-length album to come, I’m not sure. Though I’m sort of confused why the beat fades out suddenly, starts, and then repeats itself over again, I

    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

    The Needle Drop

    Stream: Fletcher C. Johnson- “Messin’ Up My Mind” / “Lost My Head” The Northern Hemisphere might have to endure a few more months of tepid spring, but at least we have Brooklyn garage popper Fletcher C. Johnson to get the blogosphere in that summer state of mind. On “Messin’ Up My

    The Needle Drop

    Experimental hip hop trio Death Grips haven’t been around for very long, but between last year’s still-awesome Exmilitary and the series of great tracks they have released throughout the past few weeks, their life has hardly been a quiet one. Most recently, the group launched a video that,

    Bongripper- "Fisting"

    The Needle Drop

    Fisting – unmastered by Bongripper Chicago metal outfit Bongripper deals in all things heavy. If it’s a style of rock that features heavy riffs, and tons of bass, the band has probably indulged in it at some point across the five albums its released since ’06. The group has just
