    Mick Jenkins - "Who Else" (prod. TJ Osinulu)

    The Needle Drop

    Flatbush Zombies x Trash Talk - "97.92"

    The Needle Drop

    Beast Coast‘s Flatbush Zombies share a psychedelic video for the recent collaboration they did with Trash Talk titled “97.92.” The fish eye on this thing is intense! Props to Aplusfilmz and Pier Pictures for the direction on this! I guess the musical collab was brought together by Converse

    Sleaford Mods - Divide & Exit

    The Needle Drop

    This Sleaford Mods record is pretty one-dimensional with its endless rants and repetitive beats, but I have to admit that this Nottingham duo’s style is awesome.

    Ought - More Than Any Other Day

    The Needle Drop

    The Needle Drop

    Between the basic flows, uninteresting lyricism, and ridiculous “singing” that’s barely masked by the auto-tune it’s slathered in, I’m honestly not finding much of anything to like about the new Future record. The beats are decent sometimes…

    The Needle Drop

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1fnSQukBE4 Slow Animal is just 2 boyz based out of Philadelphia who wanna have fun. And fun they deliver on, producing energetic, surfy kinds of punk tunes that fans of Wavves are likely to enjoy. They also have a cat, judging from this black
