Lupe Fiasco Debuts “Animal Pharm”

Chicago rappers are clogging our news feed today, but we are by no means complaining about it.

With the release of his forthcoming album Tetsuo & Youth inching closer by the week, Lupe Fiasco took to the internet late last night, May 20, to release a new (free) single entitled “Animal Pharm.” As you may expect, the song offers a modern reinterpretation of George Orwell’s allegorical novel Animal Farm, which reflected on events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and then on into the Stalin era in the Soviet Union. Fiasco’s verses have nothing to do with …

T.I. And Lil Wayne Team Up On “Wit Me”

Just a bit ahead of their plans to tour the country together throughout the Summer, T.I. and Lil Wayne have released a new collaborative effort titled “Wit Me.”

Backed by one of the most exciting beats so far this year, “Wit Me” plays like a lyrical contest between T.I. and Lil Wayne. Say what you will about either rapper and their most recent full length, but both emcees go in full force on this track, and I’m not sure which comes out on top. You can stream the song below and decide for yourself.

As someone who left Lil Wayne’s …

STREAM/DOWNLOAD: Silent Rider – “Skinny Love” (Bon Iver Cover)

Brooklyn artist Reed Kackley (Silent Rider) has recently released an impressive (and bold) cover of Bon Iver’s single that started it all, “Skinny Love.”

Kackley gives Justin Vernon a run for his money with an equally impressive and hypnotizing falsetto, this time backed by an ambient groove that gives the track a mesmerizing quality. This has been on repeat for me all morning and will continue to be throughout the day in between catch-up episodes of It’s Always Sunny.

You can stream and download (for free!) Silent Rider’s cover of “Skinny Love” after the jump. Get connected …

STREAM/DOWNLOAD: Kid Ink Ft French Montana & A$AP Ferg – “Bossin Up”

Funkmaster Flex has unleashed another brand new song from Kid Ink‘s upcoming release called “Bossin Up.” “Bossin Up” features French Montana and A$AP Ferg and provides us with all the reasons we need to check his new material. Plenty of smooth rhythms and to-the-point verses.

This track will come off of his EP, Almost Home, which has a drop date of May 28 so be sure to pick that up. Check out the stream and download of Kid Ink’s “Bossin Up” through the jump and let UTG know what your favorite verse is!

French Montana Recruits The Weeknd For “Gifted”

Love him or hate him, it’s hard to deny French Montana’s knack for partnering with the biggest names in the industry. He’s the rapping equivalent to DJ Khaled in terms of collaborations, and today’s new single is no different.

Letting Canadian heartthrob The Weeknd take center stage, “Gifted” pairs the Montana and the crooner against a relatively empty beat. The focus is supposed to be on the lyrics, and we could argue for hours over whether or not Montana should think his mic skills deserving of such a spotlight (spoiler: they’re not), but there is no denying the exciting atmosphere …

A$AP Ferg Streams “Work” Remix Featuring A$AP Rocky, French Montana, ScHoolBoy Q, and Trinidad James

The takeover of hip hop by A$AP Mob inches a bit further ahead this morning with the release of A$AP Ferg’s star-studded remix to “Work.”

Debuting on A$AP Mob’s website via Soundcloud overnight, the official “Work” remix pairs the A$AP heavyweight with new verses from French Montana, A$AP Rocky, ScHoolBoy Q, and young favorite Trinidad James. The final product is a banger overall, but the quality of each appearance is debatable. James’ lack of experience in music is starting to show about as often as he references lyrics from his hit “All Gold Everything.” Likewise, Rocky’s verse takes a decidedly …

REQUIRED LISTENING: The Notorious B.I.G. – “Everyday Struggle” (Dead Battery Remix)

The number of remixes that are submitted to UTG is sometimes ridiculous. Whether it’s unknown rappers trying to cash in on a popular beat with their own poorly-produced freestyle, or a DJ trying to make a classic track their own, people constantly contact us about posting their interpretation of previously successful tracks. For the most part, these messages don’t offer much in the form of quality content, but every now and then something comes through that makes us stop and say “Wow.” This post is about one such track.

Austrian producer, Dead Battery, has released a refreshing new version of …

Gucci Mane Recruits 2 Chainz For “Use Me”

Atlanta has been a hotbed for urban music for the better part of the last decade, and today two of its biggest names collide for a banger that may just leave your speakers smoking.

Gucci Mane and 2 Chainz have joined forces to deliver “Use Me,” a Gucci-lead track that boasts a beat so ferocious you can literally do nothing to prevent it from linking with that part of your soul that loves good bass usage and making you convulse intensely for the better part of four minutes. 2 Chainz leads things off with his strongest bars in recent memory, …

Queens Of The Stone Age 2013

STREAM/DOWNLOAD: Two New Queens Of The Stone Age Songs

Queens of the Stone Age have been doing that “weird publicity campaign” thing where they at first pretended they didn’t know when the album was coming out, then leaked musicians would be making guest appearances on said album, and then slowly released the album’s title and release date. That album, …Like Clockwork, has had three new songs premier in the span of a week. Earlier, they posted the music video for “I Appear Missing”; now, they’ve played two new songs, “I Sat By The Ocean” and “If I Had A Tail,” live that are available for streaming and downloading. …

STREAM: Ace Hood Ft. Wiz Khalifa, T.I., Meek Mill, French Montana, 2 Chainz, Future, DJ Khaled & Birdman – “Bugatti” (Remix)

Holy shit. Call the rest of hip hop and tell them to take the day off because Ace Hood just released the remix of the year.

Recruiting essentially every major rapper outside of Kanye and Jay-Z, Ace Hood has assembled the most star-studded remix for “Bugatti” that anyone could have imagined. Wiz Khalifa, T.I., Meek Mill, French Montana, 2 Chainz, Future, DJ Khaled, and Birdman all add verses to the chart-dominating hit, and though the quality of each verse varies the overall result is second-to-none. Personally, I think Meek Mill steals the show, but with this many features there is …

Black Flag Call Out Flag, Offer Free Download

Well, isn’t punk rock exciting when you’re older and jaded instead of young and angry? Black Flag, one of the most well known pioneers of the 80s hardcore punk movement, recently reunited as two different projects. One is the official reunion, still known as Black Flag, which features former members in vocalist Ron Reyes and band leader and guitarist Greg Ginn. The bassist for the recordings is “Dale Nixon,” which is actually a pseudonym for Greg Ginn; the bassist live is reported to be Dave Klein from Screeching Weasel. It should be noted that the lineup was originally …

Angel Haze Debuts “Lofticries”

While the world patiently awaits her Universal debut, Angel Haze keeps her underground hype alive and well with the release of a new track entitled, “Lofticries.”

Posted to Soundcloud earlier today, “Lofticries” is actually a leftover from Haze’s 2012 EP Reservation. The track boasts a hypnotic beat that plays so smoothly it might as well be whiskey for your ears. Haze has a flow second-to-none, and it’s clear on this track that the other major females in hip hop may want to watch their back in the coming months. You can stream and download “Lofticries” after the jump.
