Unknown Memory

May tears fall from your eyes, as the time has come. Below is what appears to be a minute long video which has fallen from the stormy clouds above. Titled 23/09/14, one could only assume that this marks the release of the greatly anticipated Yung Lean Album, Unknown Memory. Just over three weeks away I am sure the time will pass quickly. While we wait we can thank Yung Gud for blessing us with a remix of Tinashe's "2 On". The remix diverges from the original track and creates a seemingly space-bound soundscape, suitable both for clubs, or for your trip to mars. Yung Lean recently toured North America (some photos from his show in NYC can be seen here), only to leave thousands wondering when the Sadboys will return. So mark your calendars, September 23, Unknown Memory, sunny or not tears will be falling so be sure to pack an umbrella.

A Clockwork Indigo

This is not a sequel to an Anthony Burgess book, nor is it going to revive the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, this is simply an announcement to inform you that the Beast Coast is about to take over. Flatbush Zombies are teaming up with The Underachievers to embark on their North-American tour, titled "Clockwork Indigo Presents the Electric Koolade Experience." The tour begins October 17 in Iowa City, IA and concludes in Philadelphia, PA on December 7. Flatbush Zombies released a handful of singles throughout the year via their "Day of the Dead" series, while The Underachievers released an entire LP earlier this month, which very well could come together for quite a phenomenal setlist. There's also the possibility that this really is a supergroup and they'll be bringing out all new tracks in full force. Either way, do not miss out on this tour Grab your tickets here.

With the recent release of The Underachievers' Cellar Door: Terminus Ut Exordium LP (stream the album in its entirety here), it's obvious the Beast Coast is rising in power regardless if Issa Gold may do his own thing. Sure it may be an obscure name for an album, but The Cellar Door is apparently one of the most phonetically beautiful phrases in the English language. The album returns to the psychedelic waves similar to that of their first mixtape, Indigoism. Even in the opening track, "Luminescence," The Underachievers' transcendental lyrics immediately create a distinct line that sets them apart. It's the spiritualism they rap about, following their own beliefs as they exploit the faults of our society one verse at a time. This track leads into a colossal album that must definitely be checked out, open your third eye and purchase the album here or listen to a full stream here.


AFROPUNK Festival

Considered "the most multicultural festival in the US" by The New York Times, this weekend AFROPUNK Festival took over Commodore Barry Park, Brooklyn, NY.
