    Stream the Clockwork Indigo EP (Flatbush Zombies / The Underachievers)

    The Needle Drop

    2014 is ending off with a bang, I tell ya! In an effort to promote their current tour together, previously praised New York underground hip hop titans Flatbush Zombies and the Underachievers have dropped a collaborative EP under the name Clockwork Indigo. It’s got five tracks, which I encourage

    BADBADNOTGOOD & Ghostface Killah - "Gunshowers" ft. Elzhi

    The Needle Drop

    Wow! That’s all I can say: Wow! We have a modern favorite teaming up with an old favorite here. Not just on this track–or that previously released track that was good as well–but there’s gonna be an album on the way via Lex Records, too. Yes,

    Holly Herndon - "Home"

    The Needle Drop

    With just a few brief albums and a handful of singles under her belt thus far, Holly Herndon is quickly becoming one of the most interesting electronic music producers to watch in 2015. If I’m correct, she’s slated to drop a new full-length toward the start of next

    Moon Hooch - Self-Titled

    The Needle Drop

    Moon Hooch by Moon Hooch Brooklyn jazz fusion trio Moon Hooch just dropped an album via Bandcamp this past summer that slipped by me a bit. While the jams aren’t as free-flowing or improvised as I’d like, Moon Hooch hits some great grooves across the many tracks here–

    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.
