The latest album from New York underground rap veterans Billy Woods and Elucid features guests Earl Sweatshirt, R.A.P. Ferreira, Moor Mother, and others.

Melbourne's Vintage Crop are coming up on their third full-length, a split release with labels Upset The Rhythm and Anti-Fade. The lead track is "indicative of the band's tightly coiled punk—muscular, slightly paranoid, and pulsing with an energy that's hard to ignore," says Raven Sings The Blues.

"A distinctly African American music drawing from the deep tributaries of African American expressive culture, it is an amalgam of jump blues, big band swing, gospel, boogie, and blues."

Thanks for listening!
