    Mick Jenkins - "Jazz"

    The Needle Drop

    Husky-voiced Chicago rapper Mick Jenkins drops a moving and metaphorical video for his upcoming project titled The Water[s]. It’s officially out August 12th. “Jazz” features a beautiful, minimal beat that’s guided by what I think are some gleaming vibraphone melodies. I love the way the chorus swells,

    Wild Birds & Peacedrums - "The Offbeat"

    The Needle Drop

    Sweden’s Wildbirds & Peacedrums drops a new track titled “The Offbeat,” which looks like it’s going to be landing on the duo’s next full-length album, Rhythm. Not a surprising title from this band considering much of their past material has featured nothing but vocals and drums, and

    YUNOREVIEW: JULY 2014

    The Needle Drop

    Joey Bada$$ - "Big Dusty" (prod. Kirk Knight)

    The Needle Drop

    New York MC Joey Bada$$ brings the first single from his highly-anticipated commercial debut, B4DA$$. A lot like a song or two from his last tape, Joey is coming off aggressive on this new single, “Big Dusty.” Very aggressive! I’d go as far as to say there are moments

    TEKLIFE TILL THA NEXT LIFE VOL.1 by TASO Teklife producer TASO has produced one of my favorite tracks of 2014 right here, and it comes off a compilation he dropped with fellow DJs Rashad, Spinn, and Manny back in March. The hooky vocal samples and rattling trap rhythms are

    clipping. - "Story 4: Sleeplessly Embracing" (alt-J remix)

    The Needle Drop

    https://soundcloud.com/alt-j/story-4-sleeplessly-embracing-a-remix-by-clipping “Hunger of the Pine,” the lead single off alt-J’s forthcoming LP This is All Yours, was already a plenty fierce song – from its progressive, horn-adorned composition, to its prominent Miley Cyrus vocal sample, to its Hunger Games-esque music video. However, the song just got
