If you were a big Clipse/Neptune fan in the ’00s, then perhaps you remember Rosco P Coldchain, the verbose, gravelly Philly rap hardnose who always seemed like he was poised for a breakout moment. Coldchain had some vivid, memorable verses on Neptunes tracks, but his completed Star Trak debut Hazardous Life was shelved. In 2008,… The post Rosco P Coldchain …

There’s a decent single that the 2007 ringtone-rap anthem “Yahhh!” is the greatest contribution that Soulja Boy ever made to society. Over a maddening one-finger keyboard riff, Soulja and his associate Arab bellowed gibberish at fans who approached them. It was fantastically bratty, and it would get stuck in my head for weeks on end.… The post Latto – “GOMF” …

In the past few years, the 19-year-old Atlanta rapper Che has emerged at the forefront of the post-Playboi Carti rage-rap wave. He does the fried, chaotic bleepy-staticy thing better than pretty much anyone else, and he finds room for tiny, achy melodies in the midst of all his noise.

London dance producer Love Remain specializes in music that’s hard and physical but that’s also trapped deep in its own memory. His mixtape With Every Cloud came out last fall, and he followed it with the single “Steppa” earlier this year. Yesterday, Love Remain released “Paris, Forever,” a new track that pairs a sweaty breakbeat… The post Love Remain – …

The world of UK grime is way more rooted in club culture than US rap is. Grime evolved directly out of the rave and pirate radio scenes, and plenty of UK rappers have had their biggest pop successes on EDM tracks — Dizzee Rascal on “Bonkers” and “Dance Wiv Me,” Wiley on “Wearing My Rolex,”… The post Skepta Is Making …

Dutch art-pop trio the Homesick (Elias Elgersma, Jaap van der Velde, and Erik Woudwijk) are back with a quirky little single “Esperanto.” The new song arrives alongside the announcement that they signed to independent Austrian label Siluh Records. “Esperanto” is wacky in a new wave/Devo way.
