Aesop Rock -- I Heard It's a Mess There Too (2025)
For Aesop Rock, the phrase “I heard it’s a mess there too” started out as a lyric, but it didn’t take long for that line to get its hooks into him. It felt familiar, like a line he’d said a thousand times in recent years while checking in with friends across different cities, swapping stories about where each other are, and what’s going on there. The more he sat with the phrase, the more it started to feel like the center of something bigger. I Heard It’s A Mess There Too lives at the intersection of two personal urges for Aesop: the need to venture out and document your surroundings, and the desire to stay connected—especially when things feel uncertain.
Musically, Aesop Rock explores some new territory on the album. “I’d been building tracks the same way for many years,” he says, “but I made a conscious shift in my process here. I tried out some new tools and attempted to make my beats cleaner, more minimal. The drums are more stripped back, the bass lines are allowed to just sit, without layering ten things on top. I didn’t want the beat and the vocals competing for attention—I just wanted enough to get a wave rolling and not much more, just setting a mood I could move to.” These twelve songs mark different stops along that path of tinkering and looking for something new.

ClarkyArtist - Commercialism! (Pre-Release Write up)
Commercialism! (out November 5th) is ClarkyArtist's most direct and unapologetic project yet - a record that pulls from personal history, raw storytelling, and collaborations that shaped the journey. Across nine tracks, the album tackles addiction, loss, survival, defiance, and triumph, weaving real-life struggle with sharp metaphors and unflinching honesty. Rather than chasing trends, Commercialism! turns the idea of “making a hit” on its head - highlighting the grind, the pain, and the persistence behind every song. This is an album about breaking cycles, honoring the ghosts of the past, and striving for transformation, all while staying grounded in the realities of artistry and self-expression.
Songs Descriptions
• Bumper
Originally written as a solo track by ClarkyArtist’s long-time collaborator Noaksey (under the alias Jessi Churst), with ClarkyArtist appearing as the guest feature. The working title was Make Me A Hit. ClarkyArtist’s verse was written in Spanish, designed to mirror Jessi Churst’s English verse and hook. The final track evolved into Bumper, but its roots remain in that early collaboration.
• Find A Cure
A song about addiction and the destructive cycle of craving. The lyrics capture the back-and-forth of inner conflict: the need for more despite knowing the damage it causes, the metaphor of infection spreading, and the inability to lie to oneself. The song ends with an admission that the “fix” is both the problem and the only solution sought.
• Trip-Mines
Draws on and reuses lyrics from an older ClarkyArtist track, Feels Like. The lyrics use the imagery of hidden explosives — “trip-mines” — as a metaphor for everyday dangers and setbacks. They reflect the grind of survival, the feeling of exhaustion, and the repetitive cycle of stepping into the same traps. It’s about how habits can both protect and imprison.
• Creatures Of Habit
Explores humanity's resistance to change and the tension between who we are and who we want to become. The lyrics emphasize that while people often stay stuck in cycles, we also carry the potential for transformation, survival, and even miracles. The song reflects on that balance: we can change our perspective, even if our names stay the same.
• Ghosts
A song about loss in all its forms - whether it's family, friends, relationships, or even pets. It captures that haunting moment when you instinctively turn to speak to someone who’s no longer there. The lyrics describe memories as ghosts that linger in rooms, objects, and thoughts. In its full version (4+ minutes), the song unfolds as a layered piece with intro, verses, hooks, pre-hooks, a bridge, and an outro.
• Slip
A raw and urgent track about living fast and defying expectations. The lyrics wrestle with themes of risk, misunderstanding, and resilience - “living for something or dying for nothing.” The phrase “giving up the slip” becomes a repeated motif of evasion, rebellion, and survival under pressure. Fear, vulnerability, and the value of life are weighed against the thrill of resistance.
• What I'm Feeling
Originally written during ClarkyArtist and Gemiini's time in their band Calls of Alysm, the track was later split into two solo songs: Gemiini's Your Love and ClarkyArtist's What I'm Feeling. The final version is both a solo statement and a nod to its collaborative roots. Lyrically, it’s an unfiltered outpouring of chaos, numbness, and self-destruction — drinking to stop the screaming, chasing a feeling that's already gone. The bloodshot eyes, the cuts, the haze: all of it becomes a confession turned anthem, repeating again and again — that’s what I’m feeling.
• Discernment
Built around an idea first suggested by ClarkyArtist's brother. The lyrics focus on learning from mistakes, overcoming violence and heartbreak, and developing the clarity to see through deception. The song rejects being trapped by the past, instead choosing growth and transformation. Its repeated resolve to “not look back” turns the theme of discernment into both a warning and a declaration of progress.
• Attainment
Centers on resilience and the pursuit of greatness. The lyrics contrast feelings of failure and disrespect with a triumphant rise in music: hundreds of tracks, thousands of views, and countless collaborations. “Attainment” becomes the mantra of persistence, urging the listener not to give in but to keep climbing. The track embodies the grind of self-made success and the pride in reaching it.

uMaNg & Melvin Junko - Not For The Faint of Art (2025)
Not for the Faint of Art is a hard-hitting collaboration between two titans of underground boom bap hip hop: lyricist uMaNg and producer Melvin Junko. This album is a testament to raw artistry, built on gritty beats and razor-sharp lyricism that pay homage to the roots of hip hop while carving out a space in the modern era. With uMaNg's vivid storytelling and unrelenting wordplay riding over Melvin Junko's meticulously crafted, soul-drenched production, the project creates a visceral experience for listeners who crave authenticity.
This isn't music for the casual earit’s for those who live and breathe hip hop, who appreciate the craft and passion that go into every bar and every beat. True to its name, Not for the Faint of Art is unapologetically bold, challenging, and a masterpiece in its own right.
None of the physical items will ship until the album release date.

uMaNg & B.B.Z Darney - Monu-mEnTaL (2025)
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 & lyrically 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."

Atmosphere - Jestures (2025)
On Jestures, Atmosphere’s sprawling new album, Slug digs deep into the complexities of life, confronting the unexpected points of friction in middle-aged domesticity and stability. Long past the belief that great art needs great pain, he challenges the notion that creativity must stem from trauma. Instead, their fifth release of the 2020s explores a different kind of tension - one rooted in reflection, responsibility, and the quiet revelations of daily life. The result is a record that captures personal evolution without romanticizing the past or fearing the future.
The album’s format is as ambitious as its themes: 26 songs, each beginning with a different letter of the alphabet, sequenced in order from A to Z. Even the guest features follow suit - Evidence appears on “Effortless,” Kurious on “Kilowatts,” and Musab, Muja Messiah, and Mike the Martyr all land on “Mash.” While the tracklist might seem sprawling, many of these songs are deceptively short - often just one or two verses - delivering their core ideas with surgical precision. The effect is a curated, flowing mosaic that captures a full emotional and creative arc without overstaying its welcome.
More than a retrospective, Jestures is a meditation on movement and meaning - on how time shapes us, and how even the mundane can be transformative. Slug blends past and present with ease, referencing iconic Atmosphere sounds while exploring evolving relationships, memory, and self-awareness. Ant’s rich production provides the perfect backdrop, shifting between electro-glitch, somber drones, and playful twang. At its heart, Jestures is a story of progress, building toward a future defined by resilience and creative clarity.

Eclyse (Hypogeal Sounds) - Theatre Obscura (2025)
Eclyse's music an experience, much like theatre; yet he conjures ways for you to visualize what he's saying. Although certain parts may be hidden based on how the listener portrays it. It isn’t just a series of songs complied together. It’s a journey through his mind, bizarre thoughts and things he experiences throughout life. Each track is a different act or scene. It feels like stepping into a performance where what’s unseen is just as important as what’s revealed. Evoking ideas of illusion, distorted perspectives and the beauty hidden in the dark abyss. Theatre Obscura is an immersive, shadow-drenched performance where sound becomes spectacle and darkness reveals its own kind of light. Without further ado he presents “Theatre Obscura”.

Fubar - Meditation in Chaos (2025)
Meditation in Chaos is a journey through struggle, philosophy, and resilience. An unflinching look at what it means to wrestle with inner demons while trying to carve meaning out of disorder. Across the project, Fubar and his collaborators channel pain, doubt, and rage into sharp lyricism, transforming chaos into clarity through sound.
The album balances ferocity and vulnerability: verses that roar with defiance sit alongside reflections on fragility, mortality, and belief. Themes of survival, transformation, and defiance run through every track, showing how expression itself becomes both weapon and therapy.
At its core, Meditation in Chaos isn’t about finding peace but about confronting turbulence head-on. It’s a testament to endurance, where rage renews itself, despair turns into fuel, and art becomes the light carried through the storm.
This album is available to stream or download on all major platforms, including Bandcamp, iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, and more.
Note Worthy (Subcon & Sadida) - IV (2025)

Now it has finally been dusted off, brought to completion, and released for your listening pleasure. Please enjoy… NW-IV!

Aesop Rock - Roadwork Rappin' (Single) (2025)
After delighting fans of all ages with the surprise children’s hit “Long Legged Larry,” underground hip-hop icon Aesop Rock returns with “Roadwork Rappin’,” a joyful ode to construction vehicles and the kids who love them. Inspired by the fascination many children have with bulldozers, front loaders, and cranes, the track delivers clever rhymes and vivid descriptions in classic Aesop fashion—this time with a whimsical twist.
Over a minimal beat with bouncing bass lines that evoke the lumbering roll of oversized construction tires, Aesop celebrates the sights and sounds of work zones, bringing dump trucks and backhoes to life with vivid wordplay. The song is part educational, part imaginative storytelling, capturing the wonder of watching giant machines reshape our surroundings. What makes it shine is Aesop’s wildly specific wit, packaged in a format approachable for younger listeners but still rewarding for longtime fans.
With “Roadwork Rappin’,” Aesop continues to expand his creative universe in unexpected ways, proving once again that his pen knows no bounds. Whether it’s blaring from a car seat playlist or sparking nostalgia in adults who once chased garbage trucks down the block, this track is a joyful celebration of curiosity, machinery, and poetry hiding in plain sight.
Produced, written & performed by Aesop Rock

Aesop Rock - Black Hole Superette (Instrumentals) (2025)
Aesop Rock’s production on Black Hole Superette marks some of his most spacious, emotionally resonant beatmaking to date. He’s begun shifting away from his earlier, maximalist style toward airier, atmospheric soundscapes built on crisp drums and synths. Across the album, the drum programming balances late‑’80s boom‑bap attitude with modern cyber‑funk punches. Meanwhile, Aesop layers minimal yet expressive textures—from glitchy synth stabs and foggy pads to jittery melodic fragments—creating moody backdrops reminiscent of sci‑fi noir but rooted in hip‑hop’s rhythmic tradition. This instrumental version of Black Hole Superette provides a compelling journey through cinematic, futuristic trip-hop.
Evidence - Unlearning Vol. 2 (2025)
On the opening track of Unlearning Vol. 2, his fifth solo album, Evidence starts by breaking patterns. “Set the autopilot, cruising speed,” he says—a line that evokes his signature laid-back flow. But instead of coasting, the Venice native chooses disruption. “That’s a setup for a punch to land with ‘true indeed,’” he continues, setting the tone for an album that’s less about comfort and more about transformation. The track’s title, “Plans Change,” couldn’t be more fitting.
Since his emergence with Dilated Peoples, Evidence has always exuded a cool, effortless control. But Unlearning Vol. 2, like its 2021 predecessor, rejects any slide into legacy status. It’s not just a stylistic pivot—it’s a deeper, more introspective journey, one rooted in technical mastery but driven by instinct and curiosity. Instead of recycling past glories, Evidence explores rawer emotional terrain, crafting a sound that’s both grounded and experimental.
The production casts a hypnotic spell with tracks like Sebb Bash’s harrowing “Seeing Double,” C-Lance’s nostalgic “Top Seeded,” and Evidence’s own eerie “Greatest Motivation.” Yet his voice remains the anchor, cutting through the haze with precision and depth. Tracks like “Nothing’s Perfect” show his lyrical agility, while “Laughing Last” blends stoicism and vulnerability in reflections on family and loss. Collaborators span eras—The Alchemist, DJ Babu, Blu, Domo Genesis, Larry June, Conductor Williams and more—yet the project stays unified by a core ethos: to reinvent, to recontextualize, and to turn pain into purpose through creativity.

The title is inspired by the movie Requiem For A Dream” which means “death of a dream” but in this case it’s “death of a nightmare” as in getting rid of any bad things in life or anything that can hold us back from living our lives to the fullest. Basically a metaphor for moving up in and improving in life. Simple as that, its only up from here.

MagiCXbeats - Interplanetary Vibrations (2025)
Keep the adult public attention diverted away from the real social issues, and captivated by matters of no real importance.
We always know, we always know, which is the right way to go, and which is the wrong way to go. Sometimes, the wrong way is easier to go, or more satisfying, and so we choose that way instead of the right one and we justify it with complicated wordplay and such; but we are only kidding ourselves.

Aesop Rock - Black Hole Superette (2025)
Black Hole Superette, the latest album from Aesop Rock, delves into the invisible forces that shape our lives and psyches. It’s about the small, often overlooked moments—the everyday experiences that blur the lines between the real and the unreal, waking and sleeping. Aesop Rock’s signature gift for transforming the mundane into something dreamlike gives the album a surreal quality, leaving listeners questioning what’s truly real as they navigate its vivid, half-remembered imagery.
Entirely self-produced, Black Hole Superette is one of Aesop Rock’s most technically accomplished works to date. The album’s intricate beats and complex structures provide the perfect backdrop for his expansive lyricism, balancing cerebral exploration with emotional depth. From the reflective 'Movie Night' and the eccentric 'Send Help' to the wistful 'Black Plums,' Aes channels the spirit of a mad scientist, experimenting with sound and concept in ways that defy the ordinary.
With a stellar lineup of collaborators that includes Lupe Fiasco, Armand Hammer, Hanni El Khatib, Open Mike Eagle and Homeboy Sandman, Black Hole Superette is dense and kinetic, an album that deftly navigates between complexity and instinct. It’s clear this project stands as one of Aesop Rock’s most multifaceted and ambitious works yet.

SONG CREDITS:
Produced, Written & Performed by Aesop Rock
Keys by Asher Fulero
LYRICS:
Ok, fuck all that bullshit though
I'm picky, I only open books that glow
Whodunnits and cozy mysteries, who stole the crypt keys
Who showed the minions to the minced meat, it was me
Hut hut, helmet off, blitz the whole bitstream
Override the A/V in, with A/V out the in-between
IV in, 1 of Epi, 1 of Ralph Steadman
Phoebe Judge, EPMD, the Amazing Kreskin
His bag is a braided bread, in the oven for 30 days
It's never the same twice, it's always a perfect bake
It's purple prose when you're looking for just the facts
You wanna know where I been, some other where nothing's mapped
Lost at the Waldbaums
faded facing 30-thousand square feet of wrong aisle, Long Isle
strong man, roll up in a Pontiac siege tower
Fire an arrow 45 degrees down
Accounting for the breeze
I can do that shit where you nock two arrows at once and shoot to counter separate things
I can hit a moving target from a moving target
It's a rabbit from an equine, it's an ET from a starship
The stoicism only misdirection for the metrics
It doesn't represent the actual pressure through the plexus
Or that maybe why I'm terrible with names is cause I'm special
At memorizing the exits during those same seconds
I jumped into a volcano
Climbed up, only to say my today is not on no today show
All recorded history is forfeit to the fuego
It's infinite present tense, presently on some next
Referencing something ancient that play to current events
In a way that feels just too flagrant to've occurred by itself
I know that sound absurd as all hell
I don't even know what I'm saying for certain, surely it's "help", uhhhh help?
Same bat-time, same bat-channel
Same flatline, same plaid flannel
Same bad gamble, same graf name on the ax handle
Brand new taxidermied mammal on the mantle
Man, man, I ain't sneaking by the sleeping bear
I mean, if you ain't down to let it eat you, why you even here?
Pigeon on my shoulder like a goth Rio
The putdown Picasso here to un-massage the ego
I'm friend or foe depending on the content in your keynote
And not above the lobbing of a rotten tomatillo
Honestly, it's getting hard to watch like paradise for parking lots
Nevermind that parking lots are paradise, the paradox
Oh the places you'll go and exploding aerosols
The running with a boiling beaker in a pair of tongs
Drink a shot of ant and roach, eat a bowl of Cherry Bombs
With peri-peri, no, with chimi-churri sauce
Boyhood drawing b-boys with big sneakers
'Til the shoe fit, now they pouring plaster in the foot print
Take it to the lab, show the cast to the bull pen
All you get is choruses of "I call bullshit"
That’s how a giant flyeth under the radar for so long
Y’all underestimate the day-arc I'm on
The stay dark at dawn, carnival barker, the autumn Barbisol marksman
The can up the arm of his Nautica parka
At large, from playing dig dug at the IHOP
To undead 3-inch-punching a pine box
To, magus of the month, 3 months standing
In more than magenta, yellow, and Cyan Ink
It's a wave, it ebb and it swell
It could celebrate the memory or separate the cells
It could focus on excelling or accentuate the Hell
That's excellent, Can it send help? Cuz uhhhh… help

Wise Guise: The Tommy Gun Edition (Limited Edition Double Disc) featuring both Wise Guise albums, The Knowbuddies (2022) and Couldfellas (2025). Only 20 copies available!!
Wise Guise is a classic, bar fueled, Hip Hop supergroup consisting of members: Hi-Q (US), Absoulut Karnage (US), Fubar (US), Jake Haw (Canada) and Edd Bundy (UK). Starting as just an idea and a suggestion, having already worked together numerous times in the past, a collective project was the next logical step and thus blossomed 'Wise Guise'.
A mixture of styles compiled in one place with roots firmly steeped in Boom Bap, Edd Bundy production provides a base for Fubar, Karnage, Hi-Q and Jake to implement their varying, yet complimentary skills, through their own brand of rap.
December 2022 saw the release of their debut album 'The Knowbuddies' which was released on all digital streaming platforms. "Couldfellas" is the 2nd full album released by the collective once again available on all popular streaming services.

LYRICS:
Suit of calluses, active and moving callous
Anomaly in the algorithm, do the algebralculus
I’m all of Alexandria’s information in aggregate
Ruling elder giving you the hell that melt the valuables
Riddances, grid at my back I’m in the diagonals
Evolving, shiv in his back he shatter the manacles
Man down, damnit can he manage the variables
Manually override these overnight Emmanuels
Man, m-m-m-mayday, it’s the tapering of the straightaway
The making of a bedlamite, the straightening of the theta wave
Working on a way to cure this sudden inexplicable
Urgency to secure a sure-shot-shaped paperweight
Pay the man, simultaneously in survival mode
And looking like a hundred violations of the firecode
Designed to die alone moments out the styrofoam
But not before these no names go the way of the dial tone, don’t
Staring at the sun until one of us blinks
When it does I’m running for the tunnels, hater blood in the Krink
Bloody hell, everyday I wake and one-up a king
Whose kingdom come to refer to me as “you wonderful thing”
One of the filthiest fish in the azure
Cut a political actor to particulate matter
Should it present as a pattern put the pig out to pasture
This ain’t that action figure in the original package, we in the shit with the taggers Bastards and bullies and baddies, and bitches and bummers
Who shuffle out of the shadows with the limbs of another
Trapjaw’s head, Stay-Puffed arms and the cape of Vader
Over rollerblading Barbie with a bow from Hank the Ranger
Bullseyein’ danger, I’m a surgeon at 70 yards
As long as the target is not a Snellen chart
Hello from some hell and back to autograph an x-mark
Leaving the treasure for the next man, the best part, don’t
Don’t show up at the get down talking that holy as if you ain’t hell-bound
Similarly don’t show up at the get up, talking that hellish
As if you ain’t blessed up, just just don’t
I‘m on a higher kinda of prowess
I’m somewhere in the melee while I’m somewhere doing tai chi on a mountain
Only out of bed to pick the lock and smuggle in his Visigoths
Who’d love to redesign the hillside little box by little box
Or get these businesses to page a stranger on they intercoms
The kind that sound real ‘till you realize they did you wrong
Oh this is definitely checkers I don’t play chess
I sack a city, atlases actually weigh less
After, mermaid leather in the truck
It’s only in poor taste if you ain’t never been the one
Pickle the hand of whoever signal his mans
That’s a 5-wick candle and a bib in the sand
My advice is: don’t approach him whether sobbing in the copy room
Or eating hot pretzels in the mezzanine at Nas and Wu
Or at the hobby shop with Hanni copping model glue
Or meeting Bobby at the Bronx zoo, don’t
Don’t show up at the get down talking that holy as if you ain’t hell-bound
Similarly don’t show up at the get up, talking that hellish
As if you ain’t blessed up, just just don’t
