    Big K.R.I.T. - "Cadillactica" (Prod. DJ Dahi)

    The Needle Drop

    Previously loved Mississippi hip hop hero Big K.R.I.T. drops a new single from his forthcoming album of the same title: Cadillactica. A lot like previous aims at commercial appeal, K.R.I.T.’s hook on this track is a fast, repetitive earworm. The instrumental from DJ

    OG Maco - "U Guessed It"

    The Needle Drop

    Is it safe to say Death Grips‘ influence is felt outside of the experimental and industrial hip hop scene yet? Of course! And this new OG Maco track is yet another instance. With a flow and instrumental vibe that isn’t too unlike “Guillotine,” this Atlanta rapper flips out on

    Parkay Quarts - "Uncast Shadow Of A Southern Myth"

    The Needle Drop

    New York’s Parquet Courts–or Parkay Quarts as it is stylized here–have a somewhat spotty past with me. While I really dug 2012’s Light Up Gold, I felt left out in the cold on their last record, Sunbathing Animal. But because I’m a fan of Andrew

    Electric Wizard - Time To Die

    The Needle Drop

    Electric Wizard’s latest album may be loud, but the band itself feels like they’re writing these songs on autopilot.

    Screaming Females - "Wishing Well"

    The Needle Drop

    New Jersey indie rockers Screaming Females have a new “EP”–it’s kind of a single, really–out via Don Giovanni Recs titled “Wishing Well.” Rather than delivering their usual deluge of shrill screams and wild guitar licks, the band is toning things down to deliver a pretty sweet tune.

    Paula Temple - "DEATHVOX"

    The Needle Drop

    This Paula Temple track is about to make me lose it! Seriously! This electronic music producer currently hails from Berlin, and the track embedded above is the first cut off her new EP on R&S Records. It’s a primal presentation of techno and industrial rhythms. These beats

    Black Milk - "Scum" ft. Random Axe

    The Needle Drop

    If you remember my favorite albums of 2013 list, then you know the last Black Milk album made the cut. No Poison, No Paradise was easily one of the most conceptual and gritty releases in Milk’s discog so far, so it’s gonna be interesting to see him follow

    Jay Rock - "Parental Advisory" (prod. SmokeyGotBeatz)

    The Needle Drop

    Top Dawg Entertainment figurehead and Black Hippy Member Jay Rock might have had the least hyped debut of everyone in his crew, but his followup is gonna carry some serious heat with tracks like “Parental Advisory” on it. This West Coast rapper is sounding absolutely hungry and aggressive on this
