Doc tho ..

really needs to be said. Since IDLS Earl has done an INSANE job of scouting AND promoting massive talent. This thread is really his work. Big shoutout Thebe for being the true hip-hop MVP of the moment

did Sporting Life really just announce an album then ghost??

Just a random question. I downloaded Let The Sun Talk from Mavi's website and I've been listening to that version all this time. Is there anything different on the streaming version? Mixing, beats or whatever

fax lol thebe stay lacing the people on his show/timeline

Kanye influence is strong

personally the soundcloud version sounded like s*** after listening to the streaming version for months

Jodi.10k’s new album is out now on his Soundcloud

Any of these guys have stuff that’s not on streaming that absolutely must be heard?

That’s not on streaming?

Yeah, like mach seems to have dozens of releases that are vinyl only, or released for stunt prices like $7777 that people have to hack/collectively buy. Or tapes that just got taken down. Any of the sLUms members or affiliates have similar strategies of releasing music?

Stuff you could only buy or get a zip file of from a friend, basically

AFAIK nobody in Slums does s*** like that. Listen to May God Bless Your Hustle tho

been saved top 2 MIKE

navy blue has a couple tapes only on soundcloud, same w mavi

It dropped bro it’s on bandcamp

Wiki is mad ill

This nigga Akai is fire bruh wtf

New project is so mature crazy 2 see the progression

Dark too. One of my favorite projects of 2019

i don’t understand the hate for akai, all his s*** goes hard

Yeah Mad Space has crazy replay value for me and my favourite project of his. Love him over Iblss beats.

Also agreed on the Wiki love. Dropped his best solo album yet this year imo

been trying to tell folks

mavi got a string of singles on his youtube only which are ridiculously fire.

What makes some of these guys' tapes less widely known is that their primary platform is bandcamp, tho bandcamp is still fairly easy for streaming + a lot of tapes are free to dl too
