Listen Up: Danny Brown Drops Studio Version Of "Kush Coma" With A$AP Rocky And Zelooperz

Well, we heard the A$AP Rocky-included version of Danny Brown's latest Old preview "Kush Coma" a second ago via Tim Westwood, and to finally stamp things down, snaggle tooth decided to go ahead and share the final "official" studio version of the Rocky and Zelooperz-featured record. Danny's kept himself present throughout most of the year following up the acclaim XXX received last year, and with the appearance of early version of "Kush Coma" surfacing not too long ago, his upcoming TBA album Old has quickly become one of the most anticipated projects of the summer. We'll see where things go, but from what we're catching here, there's little reason to believe that Danny won't one-up himself with this next piece of work. Anyway, here's "Kush Coma"; give it a listen, throw up your thoughts, and look out for more news on Old (obviou...

Listen Up: "Near Death" By Meek DeMeo

UPDATE: so, to follow-up his "Paper Birds" release with Kendrick Lamar yesterday, Meek DeMeo decided to hit us again with a new set of sounds, this one being an equally haunting funeral epic titled "Near Death." Here's the track. Hit it up, and check out Meek's previous releases below. Meek DeMeo caught my attention a while back when he dropped an Ab-Soul featured remix of his track "Hallucinogen," and to show that his TDE affiliation and breakout wasn't a simple stand alone spark, he's back with some new sounds, this time featuring Kendrick Lamar, which should speak pretty well on the kind of interest he's getting from the scene. As we saw with "Hallucinogen," t...

Listen Up: Ab-Soul Taps Into Ancient Doomsday Prophecies With New Track "Nibiru"

After Control System, I had some trouble envisioning how more strangely genius Ab-Soul could topically get with his sounds, but this Facebook leak "Nibiru" that dropped last night tromps that thought with the somewhat blend of Egyptian history, modern-day and ancient conspiracies, scientific anomalies and phenomenon, the ethereal, spectral and astral, Native American folklore, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. As usual, it's a showcase of Soulo's knowledge on topics most people save for scholars don't do much heavy reading on, and another exceptional presentation on how he manages to fit the aforementioned mulligan stew of oddities and history into music.

Something of the theory here brings to mind Ras Kass' "Nature of the Threat" in terms of historical lenses, and brings out a few memories from Vast Aire, who's built a career off of forming poetry around similar interests (maybe that's just me though). With JMSN's production, I, once again, cannot compare Ab-Soul to anyone else, and only have further reason to believe that stylistically, he's hip-hop's premier operator.

I could run on writing a thesis about these things, but I'm going to let it lie, as I'm beginning to get an academic migraine. Here's "Nibiru"; give it a listen, throw up your thoughts.

In case you were wondering, "Nibiru" refers to the cataclysm theory that sometime this century, Earth will collide, or barely pass a similarly-sized planet. It's essentially the doomsday prophecy drawn from early Sumerian and Babylonian astrological predictions, thus why the name linguistically holds root in their language.
