Underground Hip-Hop

I really like this cat’s rhyme style. He impressed me with his video for Mister Morris a while back, and then again with his most recent album “The Process of Addiction Has Its Costs” – for which HHL featured the track The MILF Song as underground hip-hop track of the week. This is a new track over an old beat. Click below to listen to Phillip Morris’ Hit the Road Jack:

Stumbled across this on YouTube this morning and thought it was tight, albeit short. From the upcoming “Pivotal Moments” EP.

New Reflection Eternal album coming soon!

This is a little old, but I just stumbled across it and decided to post anyway. Original Rudeboys is a track from Everliven Sound’s 2008 album “Freedom.” If you like this, you should also check out their video for So Cruel.

This week’s underground hip-hop track of the week is Puddinhead from Lone Wolf’s new album “Sum And Belief Are The Lone Wolf,” which I been bumping all week. The album is real chill and laid back, and nice to throw on at night after work and shit. I like Puddinhead because it’s basically a track contempating how a person gets older in hip-hop … something I deal with also. Click below to listen to the track:

And follow along with the lyrics after the break. (more…)

Another free track from ScholarMan, who continues to put out mad free music these days. Better Believe features Kahli Abdu. If you like this, check out ScholarMan’s last two FREE albums, “Distant Voices” and “A Meeting With Andre Kostelanetz.” Click below to check out the track:

This week’s underground hip-hop track of the week is Strands by Portland hip-hop collective Sandpeople. Strands is the opening track from Sandpeople’s brand new EP “Long Story Short,” which definitely has some bangers on it. I like this track because it features verses by seven of the group’s ten emcees – and that’s a lot of cats to throw on a track and still make it sound good. Click below to listen to the track:

This is footage from a recent live performance at NYC’s Karma Lounge, during which ScholarMan and K-Mynez performed So Vital, one of my favorite tracks from ScholarMan & Jonesy’s “Distant Voices” EP, which you can download for FREE here.

This is a new video from The Presence, members of NYC hip-hop crew Uncommon Records. Hermit Kingdom is based on current events in North Korea.

Big ups to Pete Tan for sending this over. Laws is a Tampa emcee that is apparently making a lot of noise these days. The “Your Future Favorite Rapper” mixtape is a J.U.S.T.I.C.E. LEAGUE affilated project, and definitely worth the free download. Click below to download Law’s “Your Future Favorite Rapper” mixtape for FREE:
