beiden Rapper's Rapper, die wie niemand sonst hierzulande Punchlines und Poesie, aber auch Humor
und Intelligenz vereinen.

ye will be the first Kanye West album to receive an official vinyl release since 2011's Watch The Throne with Jay-Z, with both The Life of Pablo (2016) and 2013's Yeezus heavily bootlegged

Der sudaneisch-amerikanischer Rapper Bas aus dem Label Dreamville brachte dieses Jahr sein
drittes Studioalbum mit dem Titel Milky Way heraus. Mit seinem eklektischen Sound gemischt mit
Afro-karibischen Einflüssen begeistert er seine Fan in US und dem Rest der Welt. Neben
Labelboss J.Cole, A$AP Ferg und Ari Lennox ist auch Correy C auf dem Album vertreten.

Erst im März stürmte Logic mit seinem Mixtape BOBBY TARANTINO die Spitze der US Charts. Ende
August folgte prompt via Freestyle-Rap die Ankündigung seines vierten Studioalbums YSIV (YOUNG
SINATRA IV). Der - 1-800...'-Rapper setzt mit dem Release seine Young Sinatra Reihe fort (Young
Sinatra, Young Sinatra: Undeniable, Young Sinatra: Welcome to Forever) und kündigt mit seiner
Single-Auskopplung EVERYBODY DIES Tatendrang an: - 'Cause I'm sittin' on five, unreleased
albums'

Spätestens seit dem Nummer-1-Album CULTURE II des Hip Hop-Trios Migos zählt Mitglied Quavo zu
den Rap Stars der Superlative. Auch als Feature-Gast stürmt Quavo regelmäßig die Top Region der
Charts (u.a. CONGRATULATIONS von Post Malone, I'M THE ONE und NO BRAINER von DJ Khaled,
STRIP THAT DOWN von Liam Payne).
Während der gerade tourenden Co-Headliner Show von Drake und den Migos erschien am 12.10.

mit seinem neuen Album NASIR zurück. Das Album entstammt aus der Produzentenschmiede von
Kanye West und ist ein Produkt aus der vom Produzenten ins Leben gerufenen "Wyoming Sessions".

Endlich veröffentlicht Trippie Redd sein erstes Studioalbum Life's A Trip auch als CD und Vinyl
Version.
Es sind bewegende Zeiten für Trippie Redd. Fast wäre er als Feature auf der größten Single des
Jahres gelandet - Drakes God's Plan wurde dann aber doch ohne die Hook und den bereits geleakten
Part von Trippie veröffentlicht. Und doch liegt über den erfreulichen Nachrichten für den gerade
19-jährigen Michael White Trauer: Erst kürzlich wurde sein Mentor und Freund XXXTentacion, bei
einem vermutlichen Raubüberfall getötet. Die zwei hatten sich zwischenzeitig überworfen und in aller
Öffentlichkeit unter einem Instagram-Post wieder verbrüdert. Das neue Album des Jungen aus
Canton, Ohio, einer der gefährlichsten Städte der USA, entstand noch vor dem tragischen Tod von X -
und doch ist eine Verlustangst und tiefer Schmerz auf den Singles Taking A Walk und How You Feel
deutlich zu hören. Ähnlich wie XXXTentacion hält Trippie Redd mit seinen Gefühlen nicht zurück. Im
Gegensatz zu der unantastbaren Macho-Generation vergangener Tage, stülpt White sein Innerstes
nach außen, rappt über seine intimsten Verfehlungen und Schwächen.

Another must have part of Marc Mac's "Beats n knowledge" series of mixtape style albums. l

A Documentary on Wax. Looking back (and forward), reflecting on the movement / organisation known as "The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense. Often the term "Self-Defense" is left out of discussion and far too often knowledge of the social programs developed by the Panthers gets push aside to continue a narrative of a violent group of anti-society revolutionaries. Revolutionary yes, anti-society no. All Power To The People.

Produced by Marc Mac and pretty much all straight out of his MPC2500 (sampling sequencer), the 'college mixtape' style with sound bites from the era mixed with 90s style hip hop beats is now a trademark of this series. Limited to 300 copies worldwide. don't sleep.

Aesop Rock has been credited as one of the most verbose MC's in Hip-Hop today. Known for his dense and abstract wordplay, he manipulates language to illustrate elaborate stories and difficult concepts with sharp clarity. Tobacco is a member of psych-electronic band Black Moth Super Rainbow. Known for working with pre-digital electronic instruments like analog synths and tape machines, he crafts distorted, experimentalist beats that intertwine feelings of tension and anxiety with sensations of bemusement and pleasure. Together, Aesop Rock and Tobacco are... Malibu Ken.

This canny combo have drawn from the local musical currents, absorbing Afro-Cuban sounds, adding the freedom of jazz, the metronome of hip hop and a healthy bass shake of neighbouring island Jamaica.

For Cubans, El Tipo Este is the pioneer of all things hip-hop. As founding member of Obsesion, one of the nation's most notable hip hop exports. Early champions of his music included Gilles Peterson, who selected a track

to include in his 'Havana Cultura; New Cuba Sounds' compilation. Hot off the heels of this, El Tipo Este was enlisted to assemble the full band of musicians for the Havana Cultura tour. This unit played stages across Europe, USA and

closer to home in Latin America, and in turn this led to collaborations with The Roots and Mos Def For this long player, El Tipo Este he has enlisted beat maker France's Al Quetz to carry his rhymes. Originally known as Quetzal, Al Quetz is a crucial figure in

the world of beat making. A sound scientist whose cut, loop, program, paste compositions has seen him collaborate with the likes of Onra, Guts, La Fine Equipe and Milk Coffee & Sugar.

LP w/ Download. Blue Sky Black Death is a name that pulses throughout the underground hip-hop community. The production duo is widely credited with being architects of the popular cloud rap sound.

Now, Young God, one half of this innovative team, is releasing a boundary pushing body of instrumental work under the alias Televangel, entitled Anthropocene Blues. Much like the cinematic style he created with his partner

Kingston in BSBD, Televangel combines haunting and ambient sounds with atmospheric, melancholy arrangements and carefully-placed drums. The end result is more reminiscent of post-rock such as Godspeed You Black Emperor!

than any hip-hop artist. Televangel plays every instrument heard on the album, making Anthropocene Blues a cohesive soundtrack that is much more than a beat tape.

slowthai's music is unmistakably British, treading a line between grime, rap, dubstep and garage - riding rough-edged beats with an adolescent charisma and confidence that recalls buzzy pirate radio sessions and handicam freestyles. All of this is encapsulated by live shows that are drenched in sweat and spit and booming with the sound of slowthai's hooky flows and street-smart bars being chanted back at him.

He began releasing music over two years ago, while Grime was quickly solidifying its presence in the mindset of the UK's youth without the necessity of US Hiphop co-signs, slowthai's own brand of alternative UK rap was beginning to work it's way into the circles of truly engaged seekers. Fast forward to 2018 and with each single release slowthai has continuity stepped up a gear, proving himself to be an unpredictable force in UK Rap and one responsible for ushering in a new wave of exciting artists moving into 2019. With undeniably memorable live shows that

Michigan rapper, singer, and songwriter NF gears up to release his third full-length album, Perception [Capitol Records], on Friday, October 6th, 2017.

Perception follows one of 2016's biggest underground successes, Therapy Session, which claimed #1 on Billboard's Top Rap Albums Chart and #12 on the Top 200. However, NF upped the ante yet again with tighter bars, bigger production, and bolder hooks this time around.

As part of his quiet culture infiltration, NF (a.k.a. Nathan Feuerstein) has fast become a D.I.Y. streaming phenomenon due to overwhelming fan support. NF's third studio album, Perception, exceeded expectations to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200, marking not only the rapper's first chart topping release, but also his first release to debut in the Top 10 and cementing Perception's accomplishment as a genuine underdog victory.

Repress expected. Date TBA

Brandneues Album des legendären UK Grime/Hip Hop Producers Ghetts aus Plaistow, East London, einem Grime-Rapper der ersten Stunde, der sich seither Respekt verschaffte, in der Szene und bei seinen Fans. Ghetto Gospel - The New Testament ist eine diverse und sowohl visuell als auch lyrisch relevante

A temple is a place of rest and mediation. A place where you can find yourself and cleanse your mind. In the Rastafarian belief, this is not a special place or building but your very own body. It needs no institution or monument to be closer to oneself and the divine. Consequently, each temple is individual and each individual is a temple. On 20 beats C-Ras tells about his spiritual journey to himself and allows the listener an insight into his temple. The young Municher discovered the Rastafarian faith during his countless travels to the land of his father, the Caribbean island of Barbados.

C-Ras has long been active in the Munich scene with his band Greenery Force. With his two solo albums at Keller Flavor "The High And Mighty" and "Concept Of Madness" he established himself as a veritable hip hop producer.

11 track compilation of classic American Hip-Hop. All tracks have been remastered for 180 gram vinyl release.

Featured artists include 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Timbaland, Missy Elliot and Warren G

MIKE’s music carries age beyond his years. Born in New Jersey, he moved to London with his mother before eventually settling in The Bronx for the remainder of his teenage years. Renaissance Man was recorded between the two cities that shaped him, with both regions leaving a distinct mark on his sound. In London, he was immersed in grime and the music of King Krule, while in The Bronx, he gravitated toward the influences of Earl Sweatshirt and MF DOOM.Through his mixtapes Winter New York, Longest Day, Shortest Night, May God Bless Your Hustle, and his EP By The Water, he has made a definitive statement on the state of youth in New York. The releases turned heads outside of MIKE’s immediate community in the city, earning praise from The FADER, The New Yorker, and being selected as Best New Music by Pitchfork.MIKE raps over characteristically lo-fi, and soulfully hazy, self produced beats. Themes about the depression and anxiety that accompany being young and African American abound throughout his music, but a muted sense of hopefulness and certainty that he is moving towards ultimate triumph is the motor quietly propelling things forward.Renaissance Man follows his critically acclaimed Lex Records release, Black Soap

Fredfades & Sun Raw are keeping alive the gritty, analogue sound with 12-bit drums and loops but with their own unique style. Fred has been working with KingUnderground for the last 3 years and has a flock of releases. Sun Raw from Stockholm, Sweden is new to the crew but about to drop his debut "Beat Weeks". The duo are both part of Mutual Intentions crew and find inspiration from old music, from Jazz, funk, soul, rock and anything they find in the crates.


Planet Asia has been affiliated with KU from early on with a release and some features. Some MC's have been left behind, Asia isn't one of those. He's been kicking out better and better verses since he first showed up on the scene in the early 90's and it doesn't look like he's stopping anytime soon.
