This week’s underground hip-hop quotable of the week is Mama Mia from “Bohemian Rap CD,” which you can still download for FREE here if you haven’t already. Mama Mia features dope verses from NYC underground emcees Jake Lefco, IllSpokinn, Ryan-O’Neil, Kats and Domer – and is part of a compilation CD featuring all five emcees rapping over 6 tracks created from samples of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody.

Uncommon Records artist Dig Dug caught my eye a couple years ago when he dropped “Tales From the Cafetorium” – an album he created with a bunch of elementary school students as part of an after-school program. Now the Berkeley-based underground hip-hop artist is returning with his new crew Agartha Audio, and their new album “The Hollow Earth” – which is apparently somewhat of a sci-fi concept that sticks to the overarching theme of the Reptilian Agenda. The Butterfly Effect is the first leak from that album, and features Cam on the mic with Dig Dug on production. Click below to listen to Agartha Audio’s The Butterfly Effect:

This is the fifth and final remix project from Bisco Smith’s new album “The Broadcast.” Time Zones has become one of my favorite tracks on the new album, and I dig the way the remix creates an edgier feel than the original. The remix is produced by Cassettes Won’t Listen. If you like this, check out Bisc’s new video for Vibrations. Click below to listen to Bisco Smith’s Time Zones Remix:

I’ve come across TRUTHLiVE a handful of times in the past couple of years, and have always been impressed with the music the Interdependent Media founder has been associated with.

Broken is a track from TRUTHLiVE’s “The UnLearning” EP – which is a preview to his upcoming album ” Patience” – scheduled to drop in April. This track was produced by The ARE (De La Soul, Masta Ace, EMC). Click below to listen to TRUTHLiVE’s Broken:
