Jay Rel's "Highly Underrated" mixtape will be arriving to mixtape hosting site, datpiff.com on Sunday. I was encouraged to finally throw up a freebie today from the forthcoming release, "Oh No", over a Lil Wayne beat of the same title from The Carter II. On this one, Jay...

Since the Pitch went ahead and dropped a previous VS battle line from Abnorm directed at Dutch Newman, I'll go ahead and drop my favorite battle line aimed at Dutchie. Though I can't remember if it was a VS or Sudden Death battle (it was the one at Czar Bar a year or two ago),...
Confession: I don't know anything about KC's JR Tha Fly Guy, other than this video sent to us via e-mail just yesterday. On French Montana's "Shot Caller" instrumental produced by Harry Fraud, JR gets fly over a recycled horns sample which I can't put my finger on as far...
Though I loved Drake's latest album, Take Care, I thought Drake's verse on Rozay's recent "Stay Schemin" went a little too hard. Common does his best to expose Drake in this latest diss track that just came out today. The heads know that Common's never been one to cower in...

Off his All Nighter mixtape comes another official video, this one for "Disguise" over Common's "Ghetto Dreams" beat. The last video I saw and heard from the same mixtape was really kind of an eye-opener to Irv's lyricism and delivery. To me, he's one of those artists that...

[pictured: Caspa] Some of the first tunes I heard out of this dubstep phenomenon came from one original dubstep don, Caspa (London) and West Coast bass delegate, Matty G, back in the summer of 2007 where the Bassline Pressure night was going down at Jilly's on Broadway here...
10. Young Fate - "All Gass" [prod. Mr. Fresh] Ladies and gentlemen, hit play and start your engines. This video player popped up in February and sees Fate spitting game over a real heat-rock from Mr. Fresh. While Young Fate verses are on my brain, his 16 on Ron Ron’s...

With more artists in KC doing experimental, beat music derivatives this year, I thought this separate chart would only be right. I don’t think I had near as many favorite local beats to refer to when the Demencha writers put together their 2010 music picks last year. But in...

As we mentioned over the weekend, KC-beat guru, Leonard DStroy, has a new album coming out soon. Soon is today. The Elm & Oak label is calling this a "collage album", featuring over 50 beats in just nine tracks. The name behind the album seems rather simple now. We've always...

"Attention Deficit High Definition" (ADHD), the long-awaited beat album from Kansas City sound-shaper, Leonard DStroy, drops on Tuesday, December 27th. Elm & Oak decided it would be only right to throw out a leaked single from the project which sounds like a rather...
