Trading the sunny skies of California for the gritty streets of New York, Audio Push is back with the highly anticipated visual for their Hit-Boy-produced track, "Tis The Season."

Featuring a classic Ol' Dirty Bastard sample, "Tis The Season" has the classic boom-bap sound, laced with verses from three young and talented emcees, as Brooklyn's own Joey Bada$$ joins Audio Push on the record.

Shot in Joey's hometown of Brooklyn, New York, the ManuallFocus-directed visual for "Tis The Season" brings the next generation of the West Coast and the East Coast together, as Audio Push, Joey Bada$$ and accompanying members of Pro Era join to make one of the hottest visuals of the year.

Audio Push feat Joey Badass Tis The Season (Prod. Hit-Boy)

"For this episode I decided to use nothing but 
vocals from Black Thought and Malik B of the Roots. 
It's kind of a mini tribute to one of the greatest rap 
groups of all time. I chose to use these vocals because 
I've always been a huge fan of the Roots and because I'm 
getting really excited about dropping the album 
"Unpredictable" with Malik B.

If you watch to 2:00 minutes you will see that I invented a new
way to rock the (digital) turntables. Have you ever seen somebody pick
their turntables up and play them like a guitar before? Now you have.

Instrumentals:
Undefined (look out for Jem Cretes rocking over the beat)
Kings Beat (from the Freeway and Tek song)
June 2007 (from Green Future)
Unreleased Instrumental

Vocals:
"In The Ghetto (Wake Up!)" J Period feat. Black Thought, Rakim and John Legend
"Get Busy" The Roots
"You Don't See Us" The Roots
"Metal is Out' SNIPPET Malik B and Mr. Green feat. Benefit

Shout out to Pioneer/Serato for making the
DDJ- SR, a piece of equipment so dope
that I can pick it up and play it like a guitar.

Big Shout out to Dj Critical Hype for hooking up the Acapellas.

Huge shout out as always to the video master Sam Lipman-Stern on the cut. -Green"

After releasing his highly acclaimed debut album "The Résumé" in 2010 with high caliber features like Slum Village, Royce Da 5'9, Mic Geronimo and Oddisee, Danish vinyl enthusiast and producer KVBeats returns with the blazing new single "You Know The Rules", taken off his EP "The Breadwinner" (featuring Torae, Pacewon, Chaundon, Little Vic, a.o.) scheduled to drop February 18th on Ill Adrenaline Records.
"You Know the Rules" is a laid back, piano driven boom-bap banger with none other than Rashad spitting fire on the mic. You might remember the Brooklyn MC as one half of the duo Rashad & Confidence, best known for their already classic album "The Element of Surprise". DJ Rob Swift formerly of the legendary X-Men / X-Ecutioners DJ crew adds some extra flavor to the track by cutting up some classic vocal samples.

We've been in the studio making a ton of songs with a new album in mind and are really pumped about how things are turning out. Wanted to drop this leaker track off early while it's still fresh to let people know we're getting back at it. You can download it right now from iTunes (http://smarturl.it/dtr38a) and Bandcamp (http://bit.ly/dtr38a).

VA producer 80-M brings together a team of ruthless wordsmiths: Ruste Juxx, Hex One (of Epidemic), and Blaq Po for "Back At It." Released as a 7" single, the track will possibly be featured in a future collabs compilation by Epidemic's Hex One through Mic Theory Records. http://www.undergroundhiphop.com/80-m-back-at-it/MTR80M017/

Back At It - Feat. Ruste Juxx, Hex One (of Epidemic), Blaq Poet (Prod 80-M - Cuts by Dj Tha Boss)

 Produced by Oddisee. From the upcoming return of Diamond District "March On Washington" October 14th.  Diamond District is yU, Oddisee, and Uptown XO. 

When Diamond District dropped In the Ruff on Mello Music Group in 2009, the gritty drums and grimy raps combined as elementally as hydrogen and oxygen. The D.C. Voltron of Oddisee, yU, and X.O. dusted off and revitalized a sound once consigned to the catacombs.

Hailed as an instance classic, its impact reverberated throughout the underground and mainstream. The Washington D.C. City Paper called it the city’s best album in many years. During an era when lyricism was deemed too intellectual and samples too dated,Diamond District overturned conventional logic. They preserved the raw and made it righteous.

A half-decade later, the holy trinity has returned with March on Washington. The truths remain timeless. Wisdom over rhythm. Slang turned into testament.

Fredfades 'Remixes' vinyl version white label. Includes exclusive remixes. Limited edition of 300. 

Pre-order: http://www.kingunderground.com/product/fredfades-remixes-ep 

For this project Fredfades remixes nine of his favorite rap songs. Dense layers of samples from hard to find records, crisp drums and ruthless bass lines are some of the ingredients Fred uses to create new versions of these Hip-Hop gems. Some of them seem to have come out edgier and more interesting than the original songs. Legendary to some, obscure to others, all the acapellas have been laced with the jazzyness Fades has become known to represent. All beats via one were produced on the cult status SP1200 machine (the Street Smartz beat was produced using the MPC 2000XL). A few of the tracks were co-produced by Deckdaddy & John Rice (Oslo SP Ensemble). The result is a wide range of super tight raps and the distinct and consistent style of a young producer with an old soul. If you appreciate timeless rap flows over some bold reinventions of the "golden era sound", this is a must cop record!

Union Blak "Our Time" feat. Candice

produced by L'Orange, vocals by Kool Keith.
from the upcoming Mello Music Group album "Persona" 3/10
https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/persona/id952541263

Ever feel 7 foot 13 and Green? Yeah, Kool Keith does.  MMG producer L'Orange opens the gate to another realm on this new song from the upcoming Mello Music Group album "Persona."  L'Orange's Haunting vocal sample and stutter step drums prod UltraMan to contemplate just how he feels - luckily Kool Keith has no shortage of descriptors.  Sometimes Keith feels happy to stuff the ball in the basket and get two points; sometimes Keith feels rap is his puppet on strings; sometimes he's mostly jolly chillin' on the couch to poli.  The marriage of L'Orange's left of center heroine nod, prohibition era sampling, noirscape production with Kool Keith's legendary Ultramagnetic founding, creator of Billy Miligan split personality sci-fi rap - aka Dr. Octagon, aka Black Elvis, aka Dr. DOOM, aka Tashawn Dorsett, aka Crazy Lou, aka Poppa Large, aka, Keith Korg, aka Mr. Gerbik, or just plain Mr. Thronton to some, is just plain as blissful as Kanye & Kim on a motorcycle riding through the grand canyon.  The point is, let your mind wander while you listen to this new gem from L'Orange & Kool Keith.

Latest single produced by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/croupbeatz" target=_blank>Croup</a>.

Waiting for the Finish Lyrics 

(Praverb) 
I know the sex of my child 
Never settle for style 
Start anew, I grew, I see the heaven through clouds 
Talk to my mother, she's been dead for awhile 
Gazing down, I know that she's definitely proud// 

Nervous, searching, feeling the baby bump 
Ditch the Mercedes, I want us to be safe 
She thinks she's ugly, I love her lady lumps 
Second trimester, see the glow in her face// 

Baby growing, it's exposing her waist 
She walks slower, it's controlling her gate 
Think to myself, how much more can she take 
Carrying a seed, that doesn't know that it's great// 

Am I jumping the gun? 
Daydreaming, steady scheming, probably having lunch with my son 
If I have a girl, I'll protect her to death 
I only have one life, heed this lesson through text// 

(Chorus - 2x) 
If you live it, you gotta love it 
If you love it, you gotta live it 
So I live each day to the limit 
24/7, waiting for the finish 

(Praverb) 
Think about success, that's what knowledge does 
Saving bills, put directly in a college fund 
No booze or weed, I want a honest buzz 
Trying to shine without having to polish stuff// 

Look for work, jerk, she keeps yelling 
Work 12 hour shifts, I'm dealing with feet swelling 
We built a boat that floats on hope 
A little bit of faith, can you relate, we keep sailing// 

Built leads against the Heat, we keep trailing 
No longer a beat felon 
I'm overseas gelling 
With the Croup, I'm astute, over beats, in the booth 
Give you my life, this is free speech to the youth// 

It's the truth, I want my own fans, a grown man 
With a known plan to one day own land 
But for now, I'll make it one day at a time 
Living to the limit, staying patient with these rhymes// 

(Chorus - 2x)
