Invaders of the Universe "Season of the Witch" (feat. Mister Misk & Kromeatose) [VIDEO]

Season of the Witch is the new video from Invaders of the Universe, featuring Mister Misk and Kromeatose, produced by Johnny Slash, with Tyler Harrison of Thriving Era directing once again. The collective's last appearance on this site, Deep Waters, sent the camera along New Jersey's coastal terrain like evidence from an unexplained event; this one carries the Halloween assignment in its title. Mister Misk and Kromeatose, the Staten Island half of the crew, trade the verses; Johnny Slash, who produced their Ghost Mantis, keeps the palette. A group named Invaders of the Universe releasing Season of the Witch in spooky season is exactly on brand. The season gets its soundtrack.

Sankofa "Bootleather Lollipops" [SINGLE]

Bootleather Lollipops is the new single from Sankofa, lifted from The Proseletariat, his album with P-Ro, out in October with a cassette edition that bundles Belle Isle's Abandoned Zoo. The Fort Wayne, Indiana MC has been a fixture on this site this year, from Babar and Jack Palance Tears to Everyone's Favorite Tattoos, the previous P-Ro pairing. Ten tracks with titles only this catalog could produce: Danny Mcbride Starter Kits, Cat of Nine Thieves, Seven Seconds or Less, RZA Type of Flood, Sharpies on the Cardboard. The vocabulary is built from basketball, cinema and midwestern pragmatism, and it has been for years of releases with Detroit's Chef Mike. The single is the invitation; the album is the exhibit.

Onyx x Snowgoons ft. Knuckles "Monsters Gorillas (Halloween Remix)" [VIDEO]

Monsters Gorillas returns as a Halloween remix, and the video arrives as a memorial. V Knuckles, born Rahim Muhammad, the Cambridge, Massachusetts MC of N.B.S., died in September at forty six after a sixteen month battle with brain cancer. The original Monsters Gorillas featured him alongside Onyx over Snowgoons production, and N.B.S. and the Goons go back to the Trapped In America series. The remix was requested by Fredro Starr and built by Sicknature of the Snowgoons, and it appears on the SnowMads deluxe edition this site covered last week. For a crew that has spent three decades at maximum volume, the quietest available gesture is the one with the late man's name on it. Rest in peace to Knuckles of N.B.S.

Miggs Sonny & Kyber "Dog Ears" [SINGLE]

Dog Ears is the first single to ooze out of The Art of Surgical Technique, the new EP from Miggs Sonny and Norwegian producer Kyber. The release notes do the staging: the blades are sharp, the operating table is prepared, take a listen and rate your pain from one to ten. Miggs Sonny is the New York MC also known as Maxwell Lipson, a working illustrator, designer and animator who handcrafts every visual in his orbit, including the covers for Four Elements & Beyond, the group he runs with Freak Tha Monsta and WRD Life; he is Philadelphia based now. Words by Miggs Sonny, sounds by Kyber. Surgery rap is an old tradition. This operating table is set with care.

Sayzee "FAKEDIRT" [VIDEO]

FAKEDIRT is the newest video from Sayzee's YFRWN 11, and the album keeps revealing its rooms. This site covered Static with Asun Eastwood earlier in the fall; the record is eighteen tracks with every beat, lyric, mix and cover credited to Sayzee himself, and guests including Asun Eastwood, DNTE, Lezeppo, Money Mogly, Jamal Gasal, Tona, Action Figure 973, Shottie and Lord Juco. The film is by Tyler Roussell. A compact disc edition runs through the DITC platform's Bandcamp. The series, Your Favorite Rappers Worst Nightmare, has run since 2010, most chapters arriving in October, a Halloween ritual with the consistency of a utility. Sayzee started it in St. Catharines as SESE. Eleven chapters in, the nightmare still has fresh material.

LordwillN & Lord Rome "Cult Classic" [ALBUM]

Cult Classic is the new joint album from LordwillN and Lord Rome, two Bronx MCs, six tracks released on Halloween. Lord Rome's catalog runs from A Bronx Tale and Colors to this year's Pyroglyphics EP; LordwillN bills himself as born and raised in the Mecca in the early nineties, a golden era devotee over boom bap. The sequence reads seasonal: Skull & Bones, Blood Of Your Own, The Sanctum, House Of Pain, Big Steps, and Protect Ya Energy, which began life as Lord Rome's 2025 single and now takes its place as the closing argument. A cult classic can't be declared, only recognized later. The album makes the case for early recognition anyway.

Fam Ross "Fur Coats & Phatfarm" [ALBUM]

Fur Coats & Phatfarm is the new album from Fam Ross, the Pittsburgh MC and Pen Lordz co-founder, and the title does the era work: fur coats, Phat Farm, Lamborghini Doors, a track called DJCLUETHEPROFESSIONAL 4, another called Napoleon shot at the Pyramids, with M.GERM? appearing twice. The middle of the record holds titles like Master Your High, We at the Spot, Warrant Squad and Scary hours in the City. Ross's catalog has been running at volume for years, from Pen Lordz and RazorBladez to the CULTURE POP sides, and his French connection is documented on this site: Tapioca Ice Cream with Audio Messiah on Kheyzine's Product of My Environment Act III. Fur was never just fabric.

Don't Sleep! & FrankieOG "MT. EEVEE" [VIDEO]

MT. EEVEE is the new video from Don't Sleep! and FrankieOG, sliding over a NugLife and KillaHrtz instrumental, and the location does the framing: Big Bear Lake, California, elevation seven thousand feet, with thanks given to the Guru Rinpoche Temple, Master Sam and Kitty. JBone shot it, High Def Ent. powers it, and the stream and download run through NugLife. KillaHrtz is a Los Angeles based producer and engineer; the NugLife orbit runs through the LA underground, with a collaboration history that includes Planet Asia and Gavlyn. Stepping out at elevation is the premise. The mountain in the title does the rest.

MIC MELT "The Heaviest Pen" [ALBUM]

The Heaviest Pen is the new album from MIC MELT, seven tracks, and it arrives ten years after his debut Aggravated Assault. In his own liner notes, the frame is a machete: a battle tested, sharp edged, unapologetic writing style built to cut deep and leave no room for interpretation. The new record documents what happened when the blade turned inward: more honesty, more vulnerability, more reflection, less on proving the sharpness, more on what it cuts through. Evolve guests on the closer; Jones Got Music shares production; SIVLE mixed and mastered. Titles like Gotti Grammar, Egg Shell Compliments and What You Feed keep the diction tight. His heaviest work, he writes, carries more of him behind every word.

B1 The Architect & Flu Dust "They Smiled As They Locked The Cage" [VIDEO]

They Smiled As They Locked The Cage is a single from the upcoming collaborative album between B1 The Architect and Flu Dust, with B1 on vocals, mixing and mastering and Flu Dust handling all of the production. The subject, per the release notes, is the feeling of being shackled, unable to progress, a cog in a machine much bigger than you; the song carries a melodic hook, scathing verses and a closing guitar solo from All Buttons In. The video was directed and shot by Corben Edward of Blade Runnerz and edited by B1 himself. B1's Toronto dossier is already on this site, from To The Heavens with Roshin, 9th Uno and D-Sisive to the guest spot on Eclyse's horror soundtrack album. Two continents, one cage.

HUNNALOE "For My Respect" [ALBUM]

For My Respect is the new album from HUNNALOE, ten tracks, and it lands in the middle of the Queensbridge MC's busiest stretch on this site: Ultimate High on Wiki's Papiseed Street Vol. 2 and a stack of appearances on the Pastelle Records compilation, from Macho Man with Panamera P to 21 Questions. The bio splits the map between Queensbridge, New York and Indianapolis, Indiana, with the SRH and MPR initials attached. The tracklist states the case in order: For My Respect up front, The Game Not Cheap, Live Thru It, a song called Queensbridge in the middle, Shit On Em closing. Ten tracks, no listed features. The respect is itemized, not requested.

Ty Farris "So Many Nights" [VIDEO]

So Many Nights is the new video from Ty Farris, produced by The Standouts and shot by Christopher Hoffman, the lead single from No Cosign Just Cocaine 6, which arrives in November. The Detroit mainstay's last major appearance on this site was Run Toward The Monster with Apollo Brown; he resurfaced last month on Bub Rock's Final Lap. This one premieres through Paka The Plug, the Paris based channel that has spent years running the underground on YouTube, thousands of videos deep, premiering the scene's singles with a consistency no one else matches. Respect to the homie Paka; the plug stays plugged. Detroit does the rest.
