uMaNg & B.B.Z Darney ""Monu-mEnTaL" [Album Stream]

The long awaited follow-up by uMaNg & B.B.Z Darney to their critically acclaimed 2014 label debut, The Black Rose Certificate, is finally here!

This album is the undoing of the mind, the breaking down to be built-up again from scratch. It's said thoughts can become a very dangerous thing if left unguided, often leading us into a seemingly inescapable void, crippling the mind in the process. It takes deliberate, purposeful shifting through dedication and effort to rehabilitate back to form. This album is also a celebration of defying the odds, reaffirming one's identity through thought, action, and music as uMaNg conceptually & lyrcially goes IN as never before over B.B.Z Darney's lush, melodic, hot & cold, string-driven production. 

The listening of this album is not only for the enjoyment of hip-hop, reminiscent of it's golden age. But, also partaking in the experience of these respective artists audibly triumphing over obstacles, hurdles, and roadblocks that may attempt to derail them from their creative path. Thus, marking such an occasion as being something that can only be truly described as "Monu-mEnTaL".

NY Hip Hop Artist & Entrepreneur OSVN Calls Out Society In "Long Live The Cow"

NY-based Hip Hop artist & entrepreneur OSVN ruffles feathers with his new single "Long Live The Cow." Known and respected for his prolific wordplay that brings to light what society sweeps under household mats, OSVN brings the cow to the forefront. Read more below and stream "Long Live The Cow." 

 "Long Live the Cow" is a sharp, thought-provoking critique of modern society, where the unnatural has become normal, and where once-sacred truths are traded for synthetic solutions. OSVN confronts the distorted realities of our time: artificial food, corrupt politics, misleading education, and spiritual misdirection.

The cow—an animal held sacred in many cultures—is symbolic here. In America, it has been exploited and slaughtered, just like the people. Now, in a world driven by profit and progress, even the cow is being reengineered; Printed, cloned, and served up without soul.

This song is not just about meat. It’s about meaning. It’s about asking, are these modern practices healing us or harming us? Are we evolving—or erasing ourselves?

The new EP is another statement from the Hamburg-Munich connection – consistent, classic, and uncompromising. 50% SOULBROTHA plus 50% Roccwell equals 100% SoulRocca

Apollo Brown and Bronze Nazareth - Funeral For A Dream

They say the death of a dream is the best funeral. This implies that when a dream becomes a reality, it’s like saying goodbye to the dream itself, as the goal has been achieved. It’s a symbolic farewell, as the dream is now laid to rest. 

Well, cue the procession music... 

The obituary of Apollo Brown & Bronze Nazareth writes itself. It’s a bond, a brotherhood, and a lifetime friendship of ups and downs that has spanned almost 4 decades. Growing up in the same neighborhood, shaped by the same environment, it was in their mid-teens that they started their musical journey side by side. 

Over the years though, both have carved out their own paths, finding success in ways they never imagined—inside and outside the music. And now, after all the chapters they’ve lived—victories, losses, silences, and celebrations—the long-held dream of making an album together can finally be laid to rest. 

For years, fans of both have called for it. 

Well, here it is!

Funeral For A Dream is out Friday 25th July - https://ffm.to/funeralforadream

Halfcut & Cole The God (aka Cutty & Cole) - Green Stacks (Video)

 The coldest duo in Canadian hip-hop is back. Cutty & Cole—consisting of razor-sharp lyricist Halfcut and master beatmaker Cole The God—unleash their latest single, “Green Stacks,” a hard-hitting anthem accompanied by a gritty animated visual by Tenth Dan, capturing their signature rawness, precision and unfiltered energy.

Known for their uncompromising sound and off-the-rails live performances, Cutty & Cole have earned a reputation as a legendary force in the Canadian underground. With gritty boom-bap production, tight lyricism and a chemistry forged in the cold, the duo brings a sonic assault that feels like a two-headed, moonshine-drinking, smoke alarm-ringing, fire-breathing monster tearing through the speakers.

“Green Stacks” is more than a money anthem—it’s a declaration of hustle, hunger, and the grind that defines real hip-hop from the North. Cole’s meticulous production lays the foundation for Halfcut’s raw storytelling, cutting through the noise with authenticity and skill. The single is out now on all DSPs and is taken from their upcoming project "The Relentless Two" dropping everywhere 5/5/25

Lords Of The Underground "Circle Of Life" Video

 

After releasing the new Lords Of The Underground album  "So Legendary" the Snowgoons & Lords got the most feedback for the "Circle Of Life" song. No question this had to be the next video. An uplifting track about friendship and brotherhood. The video was shot at the famous Skaters Palace in Münster/Germany.

Ultra Magnus - Anthem (official video)

 

“Anthem” is the patriotic first single from And Nero Played, the upcoming new album from Ultra Magnus dropping this summer on Hand'Solo Records. The song is a rallying call for Canucks worldwide who value our sovereignty over servility. Ultra Magnus delivers a crowd-pleasing sing-a-long chorus and Canada-centric lyrics over a chill beat heavy on piano. The video features shots of the politically-charged final game of the National Hockey Leagues’s 4 Nations Face-Off combined with further footage that highlights the content of the lyrics. Oh, Canada, I think we have a new national anthem! Elbows up!

Chadio & The Gumshoe Strut - Root Sellers

Chadio returns with Root Sellers, a grounded and richly layered hip-hop album that digs deep into life, lyricism, and the spaces in between. Produced entirely by The Gumshoe Strut, the record delivers a warm, sample-heavy sound that cradles Chadio’s unmistakable voice — sharp, reflective, and rhythmically effortless. From the dusty head-nod of “Bring It Back”, to the meditative pace of “Peace With The Pace” (featuring AzraelRapsGood), to the timeworn honesty of “Been A Minute”, each track feels like a page from a well-traveled notebook — lived-in, personal, and real. There’s growth here, but no gimmicks. This is Chadio as you know him: honest, thoughtful, and never out of step with the beat.

Written and performed by Chadio and featured guests
