Diamond D - Only Way 2 Go (Ft. Pete Rock)
Diamond D - Only Way 2 Go (Ft. Pete Rock)
Sounds like: Black Milk, Sky High Fly Guys, House Shoes
By sweeney kovar on Oct 7, 2014 | Diamond D came into hip-hop with the Golden Age Avengers, Diggin' In The Crates. The crew is a bit splintered now, but most of the individuals are still crafting dusty, hard-hitting hip-hop (Fat Joe being the notable exception).  With Diam Piece, hi... read more →

Sky High Fly Guys - The Kennedy Flow
Sky High Fly Guys - The Kennedy Flow
Sounds like: Homeboy Sandman, Black Milk, Scanz
By sweeney kovar on Oct 4, 2014 | Boston, MA has a long and full lineage in hip-hop, though it's often dwarfed in public perception by its proximity to New York. If I sounded a bit smart just now, it's because I'm completely biting off of Dart Adams. A native son of Bean Town, Dart ... read more →

Mystic - Beautiful Resistance
Mystic - Beautiful Resistance
Sounds like: Queens D.Light, Invincible, Ana Tijoux
By sweeney kovar on Sep 10, 2014 | Seasoned hip-hop heads will recognize Mystic. The Bay Area emcee came of age during the indie rap boom of the late 90's and even had brushes with the mainstream with her debut album Cuts For Luck and Scars For Freedom. That was in 2001 though, and i... read more →

Homeboy Sandman - Problems
Homeboy Sandman - Problems
Sounds like: Blu, Knxwledge, Quelle Chris
By sweeney kovar on Sep 2, 2014 | While many rappers will make the casual listener believe the myth that rap is relegated to one-dimensional tropes, Homeboy Sandman continues to focus on the art within the bars.  "Problems," from his upcoming Stones Throw LP Hallways, is an exquisit... read more →

Queens D.Light - Ze Cool Out (Ft. Brandon Rayson)
Queens D.Light - Ze Cool Out (Ft. Brandon Rayson)
Sounds like: Eagle Nebula, Shabazz Palaces, Ras_G
By sweeney kovar on Aug 17, 2014 | Queens' recent debut album, California Wildflower, is thick with earnest boom-bap and cosmic exploration. It would be simple to call it a 90's throwback sound, but it's more than that. Queens' to-the-point lyrics and delivery are less about yesterda... read more →

Koreatown Oddity - Film Roll Splices And The Deleted Scenes
Koreatown Oddity - Film Roll Splices And The Deleted Scenes
Sounds like: Ras_G, Quelle Chris, Blu
By sweeney kovar on Jun 25, 2014 | 200 Tree Rings is a fantastic piece of work, rabid and frenetic. One of my favorite moments on the LP is a pensive break. On "Film Roll Splices And The Deleted Scenes,"our lycanthropic lead takes us on a hyperlocal stroll down memory lane on Ritalin.... read more →

Harry Fraud - 88 Coupes (Ft. French Montana & Jadakiss)
Harry Fraud - 88 Coupes (Ft. French Montana & Jadakiss)
Sounds like: Action Bronson, Black Milk, Alchemist
By sweeney kovar on Jun 23, 2014 | French Montana's Coke Boys 4 tape humbly tucked away a modern hip-hop classic. "88 Coupes" is a ridiculous banger and Harry Fraud is one of the only New York producers that can be described as modern and throwback simultaneously.  I can't ... read more →

Dilated Peoples - Good As Gone (Ft. DJ Premier)
Dilated Peoples - Good As Gone (Ft. DJ Premier)
Sounds like: Alchemist, Madlib, Strong Arm Steady
By sweeney kovar on Jun 22, 2014 | Dilated Peoples is back. Throughout the 2000s, Evidence, Rakaa, and DJ Babu were the poster children of the screw faced, take-no-shit backpack rap that served as a foil for the glitzy high-production of the mainstream. They were one of the last... read more →
