BETTER OFF WITHOUT YOU BY LOW CLOUD
Great, but short lived band from Grand Rapids MIchigan.
Go download their last release for free (pay what you want) from bandcamp.
DAY 33 / THE FACTS BY TRAP THEM
I am that goddamn son of a bitch.
I forgot how much I love this band.
CLOSETFUL OF CHURCHES BY ANTARCTICA
The ep was great, but the full length was garbage.
Antarctica, unbeknownst to me, was probably my introduction to post rock/pretty drone. So thanks I guess.
THE DATA BODY BY CREATION IS CRUCIFIXION
Creation is Crucifixion - The Data Body
Don’t be a drone. Drop out of school, quit your job. Or quit the band and join the Christian hardcore band Zao, whatevs.
BURN IT DOWN BY SIMS
I was going to try to avoid posting too much Doomtree, but fuck it, I love this.
NATE BY VINCE STAPLES
This song, and then the album/mixtape its from has been on nearly constant rotation since a NPR show/ Podcast brought it to my attention.
Shyne Coldchain Vol. 2 is a free download and I highly suggest you get it.
SMOKIN & DRINKIN BY DANNY BROWN
Danny Brown came really close to getting signed to G-Unit, but it fell through because 50 Cent didn’t like his look.
Shit is redic.
BANANA CLIPPER BY RUN THE JEWELS FEAT. BIG BOI
The best album either EL-P or Killer Mike has made?
Picking one song to post was really hard; the entire album just slays.
STRICTLY 4 MY JEEPS BY ACTION BRONSON
Not even Ghostface sounds this much like Ghostface these days. This song is great and fully deserves all the attention its getting.
FUCK YOUR STUFF BY P.O.S
We Don’t Even Live Here was one of the most punk records I heard in 2012.
DON’T FUCK WITH OUR DREAMS BY THE SMITH STREET BAND
You’ve got about 2 minutes to get into this band before they get huge if you want to be able to call them sellouts.
