This week’s underground hip-hop track of the week is Little High / Little Low by the FreeIceCream.net crew. This track is the first single from one of my most anticipated releases of 2010 – FreeIceCream.net’s “Bohemian Rap CD” – which is currently scheduled for a March release.
“Bohemian Rap CD” features five of my favorite NYC underground emcees – Jake Lefco, IllSpokinn, Ryan-O’Neil, Kats and Domer, who produced the entire EP by skillfully sampling Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody to create 6 different tracks with all five emcees are featured on each song.

Brooklyn underground emcee Kats is back with his first solo effort in 18 months – and the latest FREE album from NYC’s own FreeIceCream crew. “I Can Levitate” picks up where Kats left off with the crew’s Almost Fameless mixtape series, and contains a lethal combination of rhyme play, battle raps and punchlines mixed with some personal stories and themes. Despite being a short 10 tracks and barely 25 minutes long, “I Can Levitate” features some of my favorite rappers of the local underground hip-hop scene, including Domer, Ryan-O’Neil, ScholarMan and Renaissance.
