London metal experimentalists Pupil Slicer dropped their album Fleshwork last year. Today they’ve teamed up with the industrial noise pop act Tayne, also from London, on a single called “W.N.” It’s a hefty industrial track with eerie vocals, a compulsively listenable synth loop, and unhealthy amounts of of searing bombast. The B-side for “W.N.” is… The post Pupil Slicer & …

PARTYOF2 are not new to this. I remember hearing about Swim and Jadagrace when they were part of the band grouptherapy., which formed in 2019 and was originally four members including TJOnline and Rhea. The latter two artists went their separate ways, and in 2024, PARTYOF2 was born. They released their debut album AMERIKA’S NEXT TOP PARTY last… The post PARTYOF2 – “2 …

In the landscape of modern hip-hop, the label “lyricist” can sometimes be a double-edged sword. For Boston-bred artist Millyz, it’s a title he has carried with pride, earning respect from… The post New Music Fridays: Millyz Enters a New Chapter with ‘R&P: Rhythm & Pain’ appeared first on .

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.
