The Underachievers are coming out of New York, and represent the Beast Coast movement with Joey Bada$$ and the Pro Era team. In addition, AK & Dash (the two young’n’s who make up the duo) signed a deal to Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder label last summer. Indigoism marks their first release since, and it’s surely full [...]

“My niggas pray to the Pyrex god” The relationship between Funkmaster Flex and Pusha T has spawned several memorable radio freestyles over the last couple years. With Wrath Of Caine out now, it was only right that he stopped by Hot 97′s studios during his week-long NYC promo run. He did two freestyles with rhymes [...]

Last time RL popped up on Sermon’s Domain, he was with the other two members of Next and let us know in our exclusive interview that the group was back doing an album. Well, the artwork for RL’s new single says otherwise as “formerly of Next” is plastered in plain view. Teaming up with rising [...]

This is a continuation from yesterday’s part one. Written by Dharmic X (@DharmicX) Digging through Macklemore’s catalog reveals that he has always lacked the eccentricity–the “shock value,” so to speak–that has drawn Pitchfork’s attention over the years. Starting out as a Freestyle Fellowship knock-off under the name of Professor Macklemore nearly thirteen years ago, he [...]

Leave it to Harry Fraud to be able to flip the nicest samples and provide them to Action Bronson who will in return rip them. “Strictly 4 My Jeep” is the type of song you’d expect Action to perform to get the crowd hyped up. The beat is a true hip-hopper’s dream. His next album [...]

“Best rapper alive, hear that line used less often” Joey Bada$$ now joins the ranks of young MCs to successfully work with DJ Premier and kill the song. “Unorthodox” fits so perfectly into that vintage category that it’s scary. Having a 90s feel to his lyrics and flow, Joey working with Preemo was a match [...]

In the jungle, the mighty jungle. Ha. YOG$ is an 18-year old producer from Michigan that has worked with Taylor Gang, Niko G4, Sledgren, Key Wane, Fly Union and more. Working toward getting his name out a bit more, he’s dropping instrumentals randomly on Soundcloud. “Ba$ics” is a relaxing Jungle-inspired beat, like a hip-hop version [...]

It’s been more than two years since Pusha T signed to G.O.O.D. Music. Since then we’ve gotten a lot of great guest appearances from the guy (“Runaway,” “So Appalled,” any G.O.O.D. Friday track), but zero satisfying solo releases. Fear of God and its reiteration Fear of God II: Let Us Pray, contained some great material [...]

Comedy raps are running rampant in the game. The difference between a good one and a terrible effort is easy to identify. This one gets two thumbs up, though. Over the “Clique” instrumental, Wird Of Prey spits a two minute rap about the news that includes the inauguration and all the hilarity from it, sports and [...]
