  • NEW SHRAPKNEL LP- METAL LUNG OUT NOW

    · By Anton Schlesinger

    Every release day is special, but even with all the great records we have put out so far, this drop feels a little sweeter. It’s not just because ShrapKnel is a homegrown project that we all took a chance on way back when, or because we’ve friends and collaborators since before the group was even an idea. To be real, not that long ago we didnt know if there was going to be another ShrapKnel album and we didn’t care because we were just praying for Castro to make it through what he had to get through.

    On an album full of incredible songs, “Betamax” still manages to stand out. Making a video for the penultimate song on I Told Bessie was always the plan but once Joseph signed up to do it, we knew it was going to be something special.

  • I TOLD BESSIE (OUT NOW)

    · By Anton Schlesinger

    Fire in the hole!! I Told Bessie, the new album from E L U C I D is out now, along with a video for the leadoff single, “Spellling”. Yes, we are biased but still gotta say I Told Bessie is a masterpiece. You don’t have to take our word for it, cop it direct from us or go run it up on streaming. If you get through “Smile Lines” and aren’t bugging out, seek medical attention (or get new speakers). Seriously though, thanks for riding with us this far, we hope you dig this record as much as we do.

  • AETHIOPES

    · By Anton Schlesinger

    More than two years since his last solo album, billy woods returns with a new LP fully produced by Preservation. Aethiopes is a testament to woods’ vision as an artist who relentlessly pushes the boundaries of both the artform and his own abilities. The collection of stories and visions circles themes of identity, blackness, power and memory—but most importantly, the album slaps! Meanwhile, Preservation’s unapologetically schizophrenic production meets woods at the apex of this conceptual mountain, as layered and freighted with meaning as the rapper's verses.
