    Meshuggah- "Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave it Motion"

    The Needle Drop

    Coming out March 26h on Nuclear Blast, here is a track from the forthcoming Meshuggah album, Koloss. Like usual, the band’s riffs hit a strong, oddly timed groove. Stylistically, it’s nothing incredibly new for the band, but I think it still manages to reach a darker shade of

    GDP- "Old El Paso"

    The Needle Drop

    A new track from New Jersey’s most vile, perverse, and unsettling rapper, GDP. The dude’s lyrics, like usual, are dark, and make me wonder if he kisses his mother with that mouth. The beat here really makes the track. The refined string sections wrap around the rhythm like

    Killer Mike- "Big Beast" ft. Bun B., T.I., Trouble (Prod. EL-P) (Loved)

    The Needle Drop

    MP3 A track from the forthcoming Killer Mike, EL-P collaboration, R.A.P. Music, which will be out via Williams Street Records May 15th. Though rapping about drugs, violence, and strippers has become an undeniable rap cliche, Mike’s lyrics and veteran status serve as a reminder of how gritty

    St. Vincent- "Cheerleader"

    Exile- "Klepto"

    The Needle Drop

    A hilarious music video from one of the better hip hop producers out there right now. I’ll admit I slept on his last album a bit, 4TRK MIND. Not gonna lie about that, but Exile’s mic skills just don’t hit me with the same power his production
