It’s Black history month, and we must say, African Americans are depressingly underrepresented in our society as a whole, and even more so specifically in our music communities. With the very foundation of electronic music stemming from black culture, it’s pure insanity that they receive so little recognition for literally laying the groundwork for everything we know and hold dear…

It’s safe to say Freddie Gibbs is at the top of the list for superior production in rap. As a hip-hop and electronic music blog, it’s notable to mention he isn’t a stranger to dance music and has collaborated with heavy-hitters JOYRYDE, Zeds Dead, and Kaytranada throughout the years. Once you get educated, you can listen to his new track and…

Four years after the first release of ‘Bruuuh,’ JID enlists Denzel Curry for the track’s remix. 2020 was a huge year for both of the rappers. JID released Spilligion with his collective, Spillage Village, and Denzel dropped UNLOCKED with Kenny Beats. So we were hype to see these two reunite for the ‘Bruuuh’ remix. The last time the artists were seen on…

It’s almost Valentine’s Day and we’ve been stuck inside for a year already. So thinking about our exes is almost natural… Not that I know from experience or anything. But Brent Faiyaz and DJ Dahi seem to think so in their new track ‘Gravity’ featuring Tyler, The Creator. The sweet tune narrates what it feels like when your career brings…

When hip-hop and electronic music collide, it’s always a beautiful thing. Two legends in their own right, Madlib and Four Tet have finally dropped their collaborative album, Sound Ancestors. Both genres are sample-based, so it makes sense they’re here to educate us all on the different facets of music that have made the art what it is today. You might not hear Four Tet’s signature…

If there was one good thing to come out of 2020, it was British-Zimbabwean Comic/Rapper, Munya Chawawa. His characters such as the posh drill rapper Unknown P, started by featuring in Instagram sketches & now they’re in TV adverts and signing to major record labels. So what sets Munya aside from other musician-based comics? To start with – his work…

You might know Erick Arc Elliot for his spot alongside Meechy Darko and Zombie Juice in the legendary Brooklyn rap collective Flatbush Zombies. But he also makes music solo as Erick the Architect… and his debut project, Future Proof EP, is immaculate. The project explores the rapper’s own style, which might be softer than what you’ll find in FBZ. But…

Many people were celebrating on January 20th. But I, for one, was still pretty mad. Yes, we got rid of Trump… but that was the least we could do. People gawking and cheering that “we saved democracy” as if the inauguration was an award show—all because we replaced one white guy with another—got me angry. And I wasn’t the only one.…

It’s always a good New Music Friday when we can find gems. So this is an exceptionally good day because we just discovered Lo Village and their brand new EP, Lost In America. It turns out we’ve been sleeping, though, because this trio has been around since 2016. I guess it’s better late than never, and you can bet FUXWITHIT will…

Happy belated birthday, Jo-Vaughn Virginie Scott! The Brooklyn-born rapper famously known as Joey Bada$$ celebrates 26 years by dropping a new song, ‘Let It Breathe,’ and a music video to go along with it. Not many people will be the ones giving gifts on their birthdays, but we’re so glad he did. The artist gets personal by showcasing NYC and sharing…
