River Nelson drops "Me & Dad on the Docks"


                    Proudly announcing the brand new single by River Nelson, "Me & Dad on the Docks"

"Me & Dad on the Docks" is the second single from River Nelson’s upcoming EP, Mental Notes, produced by his longtime collaborator AltoBeats.

This heartfelt track is a vivid and touching recollection of River’s childhood fishing trips with his father. Through descriptive storytelling, he not only brings these beachside memories to life, but also weaves in the invaluable life lessons his dad imparted to him during their time on the sea-battered docks.

“Deep talks over deep waters about life’s path / We might laugh as time pass a striped bass might splash / We might catch but when not, my pops would say don’t stop / Or get distraught if nothing’s caught we’ll just come back to the docks,” raps River, painting a nostalgic picture.

Reflecting on Me & Dad on the Docks, River shares, "I wanted to create a song that honors the incredible life-lessons my father taught me as a kid—without making it overly sentimental, but rather celebratory. My goal was to capture the place, the time, and the essence of those moments in a way that feels real and immersive.”

Mickey O'Brien & Lee Reed fight "Plutocracy"

 



Sudbury-based rapper Mickey O’Brien returns with a searing new single that cuts through the noise with unflinching social commentary and raw energy. Fusing gritty boom-bap with razor-sharp verses, “Plutocracy” confronts economic injustice and corporate power with an urgency that speaks to the times. O’Brien and politically-charged lyricist Lee Reed trade bars like battle cries, while Uncle Fester’s surgical scratching and the cinematic production of Danny Miles, drummer for the Juno-winning rock band July Talk, elevate the track into a protest anthem built for the underground. 


Written and performed by Mickey O'Brien and Lee Reed

The Dirty Sample is "Feeling the Sun"

 


It’s the first day of Spring. The end of the day. The warmth has tired your very bones and all you want is a place to feel the sun soaked into your skin. Glorious! Like this song. The perfect soundtrack to your sun bathing activities. The Dirty Sample achieves this aspiration with off-kilter drums, some keys, and a drenching of the vocal sample that gives this song its title. Ah, the beauty of “Feeling the Sun”.

New Lords Of The Underground Album "So Legendary" produced by the Snowgoons

 


Lords Of The Underground... so legendary


The Lords Of The Underground will forever be associated with the Golden Age of Hip Hop. When Nas decided to do a remix of his song “Where Are They Now?”, in which he asked about the fate of several forgotten legends, the Lords were among those requested to appear.

The trio from Newark, New Jersey, consists of two MCs, DoItAll and Mr. Funke, along with DJ Lord Jazz. The group released their debut album "Here Come The Lords" in 1993, with production from Marley Marl and K-Def, including their most famous track, “Chief Rocka". That same year, L.O.T.U.G. won the BET Best Rap Group Of The Year Award.

Their second album "Keepers Of The Funk" reached No. 47 on the Billboard 200 and featured three singles, with “Tic Toc” being the most successful.

Three decades later The Snowgoons, who had already produced comeback albums with Onyx, M.O.P. and Nine, teamed up with the Lords for their new album "So Legendary" set to release on April 11. "We were out in Europe touring a lot and we just connected like that and started working together on this album. I love the passion and work ethic from the Snowgoons so it wasn’t hard to work with them.  The beats go hand in hand with Du and Funke’s verses . You won’t be disappointed!" DJ Lord Jazz explains how the project came together and turned out.  He is not wrong. With a sound that bridges the gap between modern and classic Hip-Hop styles, L.O.T.U.G. proves that they are still at the top of their game.

Status The Marlboto Man "Garbage Raps"


"GARBAGE RAPS" is the brand new single written, produced and performed by STATUS THE MARLBORO MAN. The new track is dark, catchy and hard hitting. The beat is slow but embodies classic underground hip-hop to a T. Precise drums and booming bass lay the groundwork for eerie piano notes and strings. 


GARBAGE RAPS is written as a tongue-in-cheek critique of the newer rap music being released. It's serious in tone when addressing the many sad notes the modern Emcee chooses to include in their music. The drug dealer is now the drug user, the beats are no longer warm - but seem robotic. The subject matter in modern hip-hop is simple and ignorant. No more teaching, with lessons replaced by juvenile self harming brovado. But as the song progresses, Status begins to self reflect and confront the fact that he is becoming old and disgruntled. Status writes to remember how ridiculous and ignorant much of the music he loves was back in the day. 

GARBAGE RAPS is both a cautionary tale for the youth, as well as a reflective therapy session for the older generation. The intent of the song is to poke fun at the differences in styles and attempt to bridge the gap between the old and the new - While never losing the underground hardcore tone and spirit. 

Status The Marlboro Man has been a staple in underground music for years, working with legends Sadat X, A-F-R-O, El Da Sensei, Nine and more. Find GARBAGE RAPS with B-Side THE BASEMENT on all digital platforms.

Chadio & The Gumshoe Strut - "Been A Minute"


    

"Been A Minute" pairs veteran wordsmith Chadio with longtime collaborator and producer The Gumshoe Strut, delivering a track that’s equal parts introspection and head-nodder. Chadio’s bars cut with quiet confidence, tracing themes of distance, reconnection, and personal evolution, while The Gumshoe Strut lays down a dusty, soul-laced groove that feels lived-in and cinematic. It’s a smooth listen with bite—proof that underground doesn’t mean undercooked. If this is the tone-setter, the album’s about to hit deep.
