I mentioned Koncrete a couple of months ago. His mixtape, Well Grounded, is set to be released on March 26. He just sent us a freestyle, on the much used Over beat. This dude has a ridiculous flow, and he is definitely an artist to watch. Download: Koncrete- Kon Air..

Crown Nation – Cut The Lights Out (ft.Danny Brown)

Over a creeping lurch of a beat, Detroit/Chicago group Crown Nation emphatically chew through their bars, aided by a typically excellent and goofy Danny Brown verse. Pay attention to these cats. DOWNLOAD: Crown Nation – Cut The Lights Out! (ft.Danny Brown) Sphere: Related Content

Tha Doppelgangaz – Good Hygiene.

Ooh, this is nice. Clattering drums, a smooth guitar loop and some piano set off this low-key banger. Rapping is solid too. “Good Hygiene” sounds like an unearthed mid 90s 12’, and I mean that in the best possible way. Tha Doppelgangaz consists of NY rappers Matter ov Fact and..
