New video for ‘All I Know’ by Chalk of Manchester, UK crew The Natural Curriculum. This is the second single to be released from the album ‘One for Being Me’ which is out now on Digital, CD & Limited Edition Gatefold Vinyl formats.
In a landscape overrun with abstract indulgence and shallow trend-chasers, the Prince George’s County, Maryland artist Oddisee has created ‘The Good Fight’, a record that reminds you that it’s music before it’s hip-hop. Out digitally on Mello Music Group, it’s for the fans and for himself. It finds the musical heavyweight balancing between craft, career, and successfully growing into the world around him. The new album is available digitally everywhere, with physical CDs and vinyl being shipped next week.

Get this SICK album here, and be on the lookout for Chris’ review coming soon!
We all have our own personal demons and struggles to deal with. While many fall down and call it quits, a rare few refuse to back down. From the pressure that many of us face from the outside world either comes a failed effort, or a masterpiece in the making; fortunately for Brooklyn spitters, Shabaam Sahdeeq and Skeezo, it’s the latter, as they connect with the Japanese beatsmith, maemon corleone on “Beautiful Struggle.”
The single, which serves as the sole lyric track on maemon’s instrumental album, 6750, fuses his own culture and sound with the influence of his predecessors, such as J Dilla, RZA, Pete Rock, and Apollo Brown, to name a few. Whereas the “Five Star Generals” spitter reflects on his reckless, yet liberated youth, and those that have helped elevate him to higher ground, Skeezo speaks on the building pressures of trying to make it out alive. Grown man rap aside, corleone’s triumphant production showcases the sound of a rather promising producer on the rise.

“Watch me smash all of these idols / Got my own heavyweight title / There’s no upper tier, we’re all peers / Unless y’all want to be rivals”
