Mickey Factz is a 33 year old MC/producer from The Bronx, New York who broke out 2 decades ago off his debut mixtape In Search of the N*E*R*D. He would go on to drop 14 more tapes until Nottz produced his full-length debut The Achievement: Circa ‘82 under Soulspazm Records celebrating it’s 10-year anniversary this fall, dropping a few more full-lengths & mixtapes afterwards. Coming off 1 Above All & the Tru Crime trilogy of disses directed at Tru Life however, he’s returning for his 4th EP. “Verbalize” hops over a gritty rap rock instrumental dissing Aye Verb whereas “Shutter Island” goes for a jazzier boom bap vibe explaining how much of…

I Guess U Had to Be There is ELUCID and Sebb Bash working with the assurance of artists who know exactly what they want their Hip Hop to do. On paper, it’s a compact, twelve-track record barely cracking half an hour; in practice, it moves like a dense, annotated notebook: pages of everyday observation, spiritual static, and side-eye political commentary that reward slow listening more than quick quotables. ELUCID has called this his “more rap-oriented” record, and that lands: the free-associative style is still intact, but the writing sits closer to concrete detail, closer to sidewalks, parking lots, and apartment…

Southern horrorcore superduo The Horde consisting of Boondox & Bukshot are back with a new extended play. One hailing from Covington, Georgia signing to the Insane Clown Posse’s own Psychopathic Records in the mid-late 2000s & the other puttin’ it down for Louisville, Kentucky since ‘97 by founding the independent hip hop label Mobstyle Music. The pair started worked with each other for over a decade now continuing to do so after the scarecrow left PSY to form his very own Krimson Crow Entertainment following his 4th album Abaddon eventually signing to Majik Ninja Entertainment couple years later whether it be their first 2…

Brand new collaborative EP from Manhattan, New York emcees The Musalini & Smoke DZA. One of whom has been putting it down for over a decade dating back to when I was in high school & the other has been making waves for the past 6 years, signing to Jamla Records at the beginning of 2022. These guys have crossed paths with each other on a couple of tracks over the years like “Multiple” & “On the Go”, so the idea of them spending an Uptown Saturday Night together & bringing a couple other artists along for the ride didn’t seem too bad on paper. “Respect Money…

Tucson, Arizona recording artist Stacc Styles is back with his 4th studio LP. The founder of Dope Shop Records, he introduced himself in the spring of 2015 off the debut album Inside the Ride followed by the sophomore effort Mr. Purple in the fall of 2020.

This is the 5th studio LP & Rhymesayers Entertainment debut from Queens, New York emcee/producer Elucid. For nearly 2 decades, he’s been making a name for himself whether it be his 10 mixtapes & 2 EPs that he’s released by himself or becoming 1/2 of the abstract duo Armand Hammer. His full-length solo debut Save Yourself came during the spring of 2016, which was followed by I Told Bessie as well as the Fat Possum Records-backed Revelator & Interference Pattern. Given that 2 of 2025’s most celebrated albums Golliwog & Mercy both came out under Rhymesayers, it was only a matter of time for I Guess U Had to Be There to drop & my anticipation…

Here is the 5th studio LP from Detroit, Michigan emcee Bruiser Wolf. A member of the Bruiser Brigade collective, his 2021 solo debut Dope Game Stupid would become an experimentally gangsta & comedic gem although the sophomore effort My Story Got Stories was more moderately received a couple years ago. Both of his last couple albums Potluck & Made by Dope produced by Harry Fraud respectively have become his most celebrated material thus far, looking to Push & Paint for 313 Day. Payroll Giovanni appears on the intro & final single “Hater Not an Opp” explaining that the only thing both of them have on their minds is the product moving in &…

Brand new LP & the 4th overall from Sandusky, Ohio emcee/producer Nezzy.

Fresh off his solo debut extended play The Unaligned, Hidden Hobby Records in-house producer DJ Sam Seed pairs billy woods from Armand Hammer & Mickey Diamond for the brand new single “Peter & the Wolf”. He has said that he’d like to do an Unaligned 2 at some point in the future & hopefully this will appear as a bonus track since the predecessor bridges the gap between UK & American hip hop.
