K2 - Metal Dysplasia

K2 uses a harsh noise soundset of metal swangin n bangin to make music more consuming than it is violent. Like standing in the eye of a hurricane of shrapnel. A 70 minute monster but worth it.

got a pocket fulla drugz n mo thugs than bone

United Mutation - Rainbow Person

Exactly what I like in my hardcore: powerful vocals that stand out in the mix, sharp guitar, and an off-kilter feel to the whole thing. The sample on Zone is a little too long when listening to this on repeat but otherwise it's perfect. A little oddity to cherish.

One Gud Cide - Look What the Streets Made

Low-key rap from Fort Worth. It's the kind of sad but not mopey rap that you can just put on and chill to and introspect. It's kind of comforting in a way. It starts growing on you because it's so easy to come back to. I guess it's hard to explain an album like this because it isn't exceptional, but it doesn't have to be and you still love it. Just download it is what I'm saying.

EDIT: This is growing on me in the same way that Look What You Did To Me did, meaning it's really climbing up in my favorites. Don't sleep on this.

And oh yeah by the way that cover image is from when one of these guys got shot in the fucking face

Fear of God - Pneumatic Slaughter

Grind/noisecore masterpiece that slays the entire family. Overwhelming torrent of muddy instrumentation and hideously powerful vocals. A new favorite for sure.

dl or whatever

Tommy Wright III - Feel Me Before They Kill Me (1998)

Tommy Wright III is one of the most well known non-Three 6 rappers from Memphis, mostly based on his album On the Run, which is good, but not quite as good as this one. Feel Me Before They Kill Me is less gangsta, more grungy and sad. This is basically great all the way through, but Hell on Earth and especially Down to Ride are just otherworldly. Listening to Tommy peak the mic while shouting the chorus in the latter is the closest I've come to rap transcendence.

Freeband Gang - Future Presents F.B.G: The Movie (2013)

I don't even consider this a real post because I'm just pointing you to the datpiff page but this is most of what I've been listening to recently. If you think Turn on the Lights and Tony Montana are masterpieces you'll love this. If you're still complaining about autotune, you might not. It's hard to imagine this kind of music being done better.

had to skeet it in her face she caught my dna

Lee Hazlewood - Cowboy in Sweden (1970)

I used to think this was kind of kitschy and weird and not as good as Love and Other Crimes but nope, this is a masterpiece too. Probably better, in fact. One of the best albums I've ever heard. That's all.
