OGUN continues the "Shaolin vs Lama" saga: 13 tracks, entirely produced by Sozemania. Kinetic 9 (Killarmy) as heavyweight feature, plus Giovonni Pratt, Des Eagle, Wiccid Lo, M-Dub The Magnificent and DJ Razor Blade Sharp. The titles ("UP IN THE YARD WIT' A DUTCH," "MURDA SHE WROTE," "DEADLY SWORDFIGHTZ," "EXECUTIONERZ") wear Wu DNA openly without being mere imitation. This continues a conceptual frame connecting Yoruba mythology with martial arts aesthetics.

Assa packs twelve years of feature work onto a compilation album: "Side Quests Volume 2" gathers tracks from 2013 to 2025 where he appeared as a guest. The list reads like a who's-who of the UK underground scene: Vice, Soul Destroyers, Outlaw Kingz, Seek The Northerner (twice with large posse cuts), Barz Fury, Wayne Webster, Prefects with Mudmoon, Nakterwolf. The first posse cut "Circle Of Fire" brings together 13 MCs Assa, Deadline, Tony Broke, Bad Bambino, Rundown, Rick Fury, Seek, Across, Dr Syntax, Citizen Nuggz, Lomax, Dan Brown, DJ Woody. The second, "All The Way Live," counts 14 names. This is UK hip-hop as a collective sport, not a solo aesthetic.

Thirty-three tracks. That's not a setlist, that's a statement. Da'Pro also known as MC Turtle delivers the second volume of his "Métros de Retard" trilogy with "2 Métros de Retard," released via 6ème SENS GALAXIE. The feature list is a full assembly of the French-language underground: G-Moni, Diem Delam, SSDR, Samuel Ismaïl, Enz, Hasta Siempre, Pompier, Freko Ding', Swift Guad, Sopik, R.A.T.H. and one track ("Les Tontons Flingueurs") featuring a Sean Price verse (RIP), which is a remarkable detail in this configuration. Freestyle sessions, solos, collective cyphers, and skits in between: zip-tape aesthetic in album format. Cover by Barth Le Sablier, mastering by FL-How (CCK Productions). For anyone looking to explore the French underground beyond the familiar names.

The subtitle quotes the principle of equivalent exchange from "Fullmetal Alchemist": to obtain something, something of equal value must be given. Phonk P, XPtheMarxman and No Games take this principle as the conceptual frame for a ten-track album that pendulates between straight street narrative ("Contra Band," "The Art of Dope Dealin," "Shark Week") and deeper reflection ("Conscious Dope Dealers," "Urban Legends"). Bones 818 as the only feature on "Dark Tints." Compact format, no idle.

Jean Grae is a canon case: one of the most virtuosic technical MCs to ever come out of New York, with a catalog often undervalued by younger listeners due to her own diversification into other art forms. DJ Mickey Knox pushes back: 23 tracks, blended from remixes and lost material. The feature list alone is a time-travel across the intellectual core of the US underground Mos Def and Jay Electronica on the "Prowler" Disco Biscuits Remix, Talib Kweli multiple times, Masta Ace, Wale, Apani B, Block McCloud, Lord Sear, Chaundon, Eternia and Tiye Phoenix on the BBQ Remix, Brooklyn Academy on the Hitfarmers Remix. This is DJ work as archival care.

MC Rene needs no introduction since "Renevolution," he's stood as one of the central figures of German freestyle and battle rap heritage, an MC equally at home with improvisation and written craftsmanship. "Marokko" is the first taste of his upcoming album "Die ungestellte Antwort" with Classic der Dicke the latter one of the quiet constants of German boom bap production. The configuration is an MC-producer duo, not a loose beat collection: one ear, one pen, one shared project.

“Moving to Scarborough” is the third and final single from And Nero Played, the first new album from Ultra Magnus since Muziki Mzuri in 2019. Over a chill electronic beat from UK producer Kidkanevil, Mag proceeds to recontextualize hip hop cliches like sex, drugs, and braggadocio with his witty wordplay and inspired punchlines. And to keep things even more interesting, he bobs and weaves through a variety of styles and tempos, his delivery paying homage to the innovators that came before while adding his own twist. Whether old school or new, fans will be drawn into the storytelling of Ultra Magnus as he contemplates “Moving to Scarborough”.
Written and performed by Ultra Magnus
Produced by Kidkanevil

Canadian underground rap legends Noah23 and Fresh Kils combine their talents for the first time with this collaborative album, Tuff Racket. Fresh Kils, a Juno-nominated producer and master of the MPC, offers up a wide selection of quirky beats that runs the gamut from the jazzy Digable Planets sound of “Jazz Man”, featuring Peter Scherzinger on trumpet, to the dark, Griselda-style boom bap of “Banana Bread”. The meticulous attention to detail in these beats is evident. And with such a spectacular soundtrack, Noah23 can bring no less than his best. His clear, slow delivery makes his abstract lyrics, poetic lines and smart punchlines easier to understand, whether the subject of the song is politics, the music business, or his high brow stoner raps. Heavy on features, each of Noah’s handpicked selection of guests—D-Sisive, Emerson Corleone, Ben Buck, Birdapres, Tachichi, PremRock, Shark, and Lee Reed—enhances the album with their complementary contributions. And the precise, punchy cuts of DJ Vektrx adds an extra potency whenever they pop up. Tuff Racket isn’t just a collection of songs, but a concise, considered album that sits confidently alongside the very best in either collaborator’s catalogue.
Written and performed by Noah23 and guests

Today's flagship, and it isn't close. Knuckle Dragguz is no marriage of convenience G Fam Black and P-Ro operate here as a genuine group, and "APE SHXT" sounds like it every single second. Twelve tracks with a division of labor that's rare in its clarity: Tali Rodriguez produces, mixes and masters the entire album, P-Ro doubles as the artwork hand, and the only guests come from the innermost circle of trust Tali himself grabbing the mic on "Trios Belts" and Sankofa closing things out on "Off-Brand." Everything stays in the family, and that closedness is exactly what you hear. Opening with "David and Goliath" is more than an intro move it's the album's thesis. Knuckle Dragguz cast themselves as the underestimated ones stepping up with the slingshot, and the rest of the record is the proof they actually hit the giant. G Fam Black brings that low-slung, gravel-cured timbre that built his reputation across the Massachusetts underground an MC who sounds like he drags every sentence through crushed stone before committing it to tape. P-Ro counters with a more agile, technically playful approach. The two don't grind against each other, they interlock on "Hot Potato" and "The Recipe" the handoffs run so smooth you can't find the seam. Tali Rodriguez deserves his own paragraph. One man handling production, mix and master isn't unusual in the underground doing it at this level is. His beats on "Natural Disasters" and "Underestimated" strike that rare balance: drums with genuine impact, samples with character, and a mix that keeps both MCs up front without flattening the foundation. Nothing sounds like a preset, nothing off an assembly line. The interludes ("The Lick") stay short and structure the album rather than padding it at roughly half an hour of runtime there is simply no idle. And "Aint Sing-Song" is practically a mission statement in title form: no melodic pandering, no chasing playlists, just bars over beats. What makes "APE SHXT" compelling beyond raw quality is the context: Massachusetts has quietly grown into one of the densest underground regions in the country, and this album demonstrates why. A seasoned network is at work here the threads between G Fam Black, Tali Rodriguez and Sankofa run through plenty of prior projects and that earned familiarity replaces any budget. No purchased features, no outsourcing, no compromise. If you want to know what a fully self-sufficient rap album sounds like at its best, this is the current reference piece.

JANNE raps, DRROCK builds every single beat the classic setup that gives an album automatic spine. "JANNEÅDANNE" keeps most tracks under two and a half minutes: idea in, punchline out, next. The guest list reads like a Swedish underground family reunion Starke Arvid, Den Andre, Loket, Deiv Bruce, Pappa Larsz, Bjarne B, Lars Sidbena, M.I.C., Muurk Grå. A title like "NÄR FAN BLEV DU GANGSTER" ("when the hell did you become a gangster") gives away the tone: dry, mocking, one eye fixed on the posers within their own scene. You don't need Swedish to hear that the flows and beat selection are right but it helps to catch the jabs.

Solo For Dolo builds the beat himself and invites a guest who has stood for a very specific brand of Jersey roughness since the Outsidaz days. "Party Crashin" keeps the title's promise: no polite knocking, the door comes off the hinges. Pacewon's voice has lost none of its sandpaper character over the years, and Solo For Dolo's production gives it exactly the half-lit room where it works best. Producer-MCs who know how to properly frame their own guests are rarer than you'd think.

First new Ultra Magnus record since 2019's "Muzak Mzuri" and "Moving to Scarborough" closes out the single run. The beat choice is the story here: UK producer Kidkanevil skips the standard hard-knock template for a relaxed electronic undercurrent, over which Mag brushes rap clichés sex, drugs, braggadocio firmly against the grain. He shifts tempos and styles, tips his hat to the innovators, and still bends everything into his own shape. The DJ pack format with radio edit, instrumental and acapella is a nod to everyone still doing the hands-on work. Mastered by Dorc, released through Hand'Solo Records the label that has held down the Canadian underground's weirder flank for nearly three decades.
