Artist: Printmatic
Song: Time Management: Revisted
PRINTMATIC is one of those guys that keeps committing career suicide by changing his name more often than Kool Keith. But whether you know him as PRINTMATIC, Blueprint or Soul Position, this is one talented and well-connected dude. On his latest album, “Vitamins & Minerals”, look for cameos by Slug, Eyedea, Aesop, and more.
Time Management: Revisited
Artist: New Jack Hustle
Song: All City Anthem
Everyone knows that you can’t swing a dead cat without smacking an indie rapper in New York City. But did you know that there’s an indie hip-hop scene in Los Angeles too? Me neither. Hopefully New Jack Hustle can help alleviate that problem with their clever combination of backpacker rap and LA thug mentality.
All City Anthem
Artist: Bisc1
Song: Turbulence
BISC1 hails from Connecticut, which for a rapper is probably a constant embarrassment. I mean, have you ever even met a person from Connecticut, really? BISC1 combats this social stigma by overcompensating with carefully crafted flows that make a mockery of many of his more credible peers.

Artist: Baroness
Song: Wanderlust
Like the G.I. Joe character that BARONESS is almost surely not named after, this band’s music is sexy, evil and misunderstood at the same time. If you’re a fan of 90s doom metal, you’ll hear a strong resemblance to The Obsessed here.
