The Bad Seed x Slvrbck Lauren "BUT DID YOU DIE THO?" [ALBUM]

 

"BUT DID YOU DIE THO?" is an expansive album: sixteen tracks, produced entirely by Slvrbck Lauren, executive produced by Robert PH Diaz, mixed and mastered at Device Trax. Features from Innocent? on "Blood Pon Di Wall" and Mistah Live on "SIX!!!!!!" show the connective tissue with the broader underground scene. The closer "God Is Good...All The Time" featuring Honey Dinero brings a spiritual, reggae-tinged conclusion a deliberate contrast to the predominantly hard street energy of the rest of the album. Titles like "Oh My Lawd!" and "DASSMYDAWG" carry a Caribbean-inflected patois that gives the project its own distinct identity.

“Make It Threw The Summer” is a soulful, cinematic summer anthem from Team Demo featuring Pretty Bulli, taken from the upcoming album The Meanest.

More than just another release, The Meanest is a collection of hidden gems—songs that never made previous albums, were shelved, or were thought to be lost forever.

Built on soulful production and vivid storytelling, the record blends classic boom bap with timeless emotion, reminding listeners why Team Demo’s music continues to resonate.

The Meanest is more than a compilation—it’s a time capsule of overlooked classics, rare collaborations, and forgotten moments finally getting the spotlight they deserve. Every track tells a story, making this project both a celebration of Team Demo’s journey and a gift to longtime hip-hop fans.

“Make It Threw The Summer” is available now on all major streaming platforms. The full album, The Meanest, coming soon.

Chong Wizard "VIDEO TAPE CLUB (Radio Edits)" [ALBUM]

 

Chong Wizard Vancouver-based executive producer whose label history runs from mid-2000s mixtape DJing through the Infinity Stone EP series to curator of rare underground pairings has assembled ten tracks with twenty-three vocal performers and managed to keep the whole project coherent. The features span generations and aesthetics: Tha God Fahim, Denmark Vessey, MidaZ The BEAST, Estee Nack, Open Mike Eagle, Lungs and Phiik, Nolan The Ninja, .tetsuo and Doseone together on a single track, Myka 9, Michael Christmas, AJ Suede, Milc, Brother Tom SOS, Lord Juco, ICECOLDBISHOP, Chris Crack, E L U C I D, and sleepingdogs. Producer albums with multiple emcees tend to end up a confusing buffet; by contrast you'll rarely hear one as coherent as Video Tape Club that doesn't insist but develops like a picture in the darkroom. Every track is named after a film from Kurosawa to "Snake In The Eagle's Shadow" to "Michael Keaton Birdman" and every vocal combination creates its own unique resonance. Mixed and mastered by Ro Data, with guitar on "Snake In The Eagle's Shadow" by Scotty Metz, violin and viola by Katie Jacoby, and bass by Adi Bop on tracks 9 and 10. Artwork by Paul Rentler. Chong Wizard Records is an independent label primarily focused on releasing obscure underground hip-hop albums on limited edition vinyl, CDs and cassette tapes. The radio edits make the project accessible for wider play without diluting the core. This is producer-album craft at its absolute peak.

Onyx "It All Started in Brooklyn" [ALBUM]

Onyx don't need an introduction, and they've never asked for one. 

Formed in 1988 in Queens, New York, by Fredro Starr, Sonny Seeza and Big DS, with Sticky Fingaz joining in 1991, they've spent over three decades as one of the hardest, loudest and most uncompromising units New York hardcore rap has ever produced. Discovered by Jam Master Jay, who signed them to JMJ Records on the condition that Sticky be part of the group and that decision shaped everything. "Bacdafucup" in 1993 delivered the blueprint: screaming delivery, raw aggression, moshpit energy before the term existed in rap vocabulary. "It All Started in Brooklyn" arrives as a fourteen-track album that circles back to the source. Executive produced by Fredro Starr, Sticky Fingaz and Perry Papadakos via 100 MAD. The limited Digipack CD is pressed to just 150 units, distributed through the Snowgoons a partnership that makes perfect sense given the Goons' proven track record in physical underground distribution. The production is split across five hands, and the distribution matters: Lord Nez handles four tracks (1, 3, 7, 10), Fredro Starr himself produces three (2, 9, 12), Quab Lab takes three (6, 11, 14), DFNS delivers two (5, 8) and DJ Audas covers two (4, 13). Fredro producing three tracks adds a dimension the album needs he's not just controlling the mic, he's shaping the sound. Quab Lab provides a hard foundation, and Fredro Starr and Sticky Fingaz carry it all with the physical vocal presence that has always defined the group. The tracklist reads like a manifesto: "Go Brooklyn," "Get Live" (feat. Ayoo Bigz), "How U Like Me Now," "Around My Way," "Lift Off," "It's On U," "The Goonies," "Hear Dem Knocking," "Body Ya," "Still Last Dayz," "Up Dat," "Lords Of Flatbush," "Fuck Love" and the title track. Ayoo Bigz is the only feature guest everything else is Fredro and Sticky, period. No feature inflation, no guest appearances designed to generate streams. This is Onyx in their purest form: two voices feeding off each other over beats that hold the pressure. Onyx don't turn "It All Started in Brooklyn" into a museum piece. They use it as an origin statement. The record works because it doesn't try to sound younger. It trusts the essentials: pressure, voice, aggression, identity. Brooklyn isn't used as a slogan it's the source code. Titles like "Lords Of Flatbush" and "Around My Way" anchor the album in concrete geography these aren't abstract streetrap backdrops, these are streets that Fredro and Sticky walk. Sticky Fingaz born Kirk Jones in Brooklyn, New York his lazy eye, raspy voice and boundless energy brought attention to the group, and he became the frontman. Raised in Bloomfield, New Jersey, where his mother enrolled him in Manhattan's High School of Art and Design, he moved at sixteen to South Jamaica, Queens, to live with his cousin Fredro Starr. That family dynamic cousins pushing each other is the engine that has driven Onyx for over thirty years. "It All Started in Brooklyn" makes that audible: two voices that know each other like no one else, challenging and carrying each other in equal measure. The Snowgoons connection as distribution partner is no accident. The Goons DJ Illegal, Det and Sicknature are European hip-hop producers whose gritty, authentic sound has earned recognition in both the US and the European scene. The 150-unit CD limitation is a conscious choice: if you're buying physical, you know what you're doing. This isn't a mainstream release pressed for mass consumption this is underground distribution at its most deliberate. Onyx's 2026 output has been remarkable: alongside the album, they've already dropped singles including "Body Ya," "RB & Knockout," "Hollis 2 Southside" (feat. DMC), "New Old" and "MAGNUM" all in the same year. The "Hollis 2 Southside" collaboration with DMC is particularly significant: two acts from the JMJ Records orbit, brought together by Jam Master Jay's vision, finding each other on a track. That's not a feature that's history narrating itself. "It All Started in Brooklyn" isn't a comeback album. It's an album from a group that never left that simply never stopped doing what they stand for. Fredro and Sticky don't sound like veterans trying to stay relevant. They sound like Fredro and Sticky. That's enough. It's always been enough.

Famoso & Snowgoons "Infamous" (feat. DJ Sixkay) [VIDEO]

Snowgoons supply the production, Famoso handles the rap, DJ Sixkay laces the cuts. This is the second Snowgoons project in this list and it shows just how wide the Goons' network has become. "Infamous" maintains the dark, heavy Snowgoons signature that has been their trademark for years. Famoso brings his own style into the frame without diluting the sound.

Black Knights of the Northstar "Where The Sun Rises In The West" [SINGLE + VIDEO]

 

Black Knights of the Northstar return with another chapter from the West Coast Killa Beez saga, uniting legendary voices from the extended Wu-Tang Clan family on the West Coast. Crisis Tha Sharpshooter and Rugged Monk represent the Black Knights, joined by The Holocaust, Big Meko and Christbearer. Shaka Amazulu The 7th handles production, mixing, mastering and cover art a one-man infrastructure behind a multi-voice project. The track serves as a herald for the forthcoming double album "Black Knights & Northstar Present: West Coast Killa Beez." The themes are Wu-Tang at the core: brotherhood, authenticity, spiritual growth rooted in West Coast soil. The AI-generated visual, produced by Shaka Amazulu and directed by Saïd Kanoun, pushes the aesthetic into new territory. When the Wu-Tang tree branches this far west and still holds this much weight, the roots run deep.

The EP format as a deliberate statement enough material to hold the line, not enough to lose the thread.
