Here are a couple of tracks (one video and one soundclouder) off LA-based MC, verBS' upcoming EP "The Progress 3: Manifest Awesome". Whenever I come across a new promo track from verBS I always revert back to a show he performed at in Lawrence opening for MURS at the...
![STREAM: Kendrick Lamar & Dr. Dre – “The Recipe” [2012]](http://demencha.com/wp-content/themes/widezine/thumb.php?src=http://demencha.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/kendrick-lamar-and-dr-dre-EDIT.gif&w=200&h=200&zc=1&q=80&bid=1)
A wise man once said that every dope song should start with the sound of a plane taking off. Well, this new joint from California lyrical hotshot, Kenrick Lamar, and Dr. Dre begins with just the opposite, and for good reason. On an overcast day here in KC, I'm sure a lot of us...
Major apologies for the late notice on this one. As a key member of one of the West Coast underground's more reputable hip hop groups, Chali 2Na and the Jurassic 5 clan carved their names into the golden era of hip hop with catchy tracks like "Quality Control" and more...
[pictured: Salva] Lawrence kid, Morri$, just had his track "Fishy Riddim" featured on Salva's latest DJ mix for The Fader. This whole mix is really dope, in its uniformed future funk fashion. Also, be on the lookout for our Artist of the Month feature on Morri$...
![D/L: Schoolboy Q ft. Kendrick Lamar – “Blessed” [prod. Dave Free]](http://demencha.com/wp-content/themes/widezine/thumb.php?src=http://demencha.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/schoolboyq-pic.jpg&w=200&h=200&zc=1&q=80&bid=1)
Kendrick Lamar's partner in rhyme, Schoolboy Q, is set to drop his newest, the "Habits & Contradictions" release on January 14th. This is the latest freebie floating around on the net, "Blessed", produced by Dave Free. Kendrick Lamar dropped my hands down favorite record of...
After Cole Medina went on a soundcloud tear earlier this year, only to take nearly all of his music down in the name of saving upload space we're guessing, it looks like he's got new things brewing with labels Gimme The Loot and House Arrest. With his recent soundcloud uploads,...

All three of these dudes put out fantastic new records this year. Drake's Take Care, Kendrick Lamar's Section 80 and ASAP's LiveLoveA$AP have all been in heavy rotation for me over the past few months. Just when I thought it would be quite a while before another...

West Coast hip hop legend, MURS, is on tour now promoting his new record Love and Rockets Vol. 1: The Transformation, which dropped a couple of weeks ago and is entirely produced by Ski Beatz (of Jay-Z, Camp-Lo and Mos Def fame). His closest gig to KC is landing in...
Canadian rap artist, Filip Filipi, recently collaborated with three-piece band, Mansions on the Moon, who's jaw-dropping indie sound we came to familiarity with over the winter with their Diplo/Benzi-presented, Paradise Falls mixtape. Pharrell has apparently co-signed on...
Based off some brief google research, we're still rather unclear as to what Thundercat does exactly, other than play bass (vocals as well? production??). Regardless, Thundercat (who we're also guessing is based in LA) is ready to release what is probably one of the most...
