M-Dot "A Notebook With No Light" ft. 38 Spesh, Method Man, Big Shug (Gangstarr), Che Noir, ElCamino and EMS
.jpg)
Boston, MA Emcee/Producer M-Dot returns with his 7th official full length album. The number 7 is symbolic for spiritual awakenings, wisdom and inner truth. The longtime Boston artist’s latest "A Notebook With No Light" provides those exact undertones. The project, set in a film noir gumshoe aesthetic, showcases a notebook of lyrics that speak to independent musicians whose music may never get the proper light shone on their pages.
Along for the introspective ride featured on rhymes & production are 38 Spesh, Method Man, Big Shug (Gangstarr), Che Noir, ElCamino, EMS (M-Dot’s crew) & more. ‘A Notebook With No Light’ once again highlights grit & vulnerability from an MC who shines in a world of facades. In a time of microwave attention spans, M-Dot offers one of his most powerful projects that reflects a care to detail for an entire album rather than a 15 second flash in the pan. This project will resonate long after. Released on Austrian Label SoulChain Records with support from Own Lane Music. Grab the 12' Vinyl now and stream the album now only on Bandcamp! Album hits DSPs in August!

Sam Krats feat. Artifacts "Emcees Recognise"
Sam Krats returns with “Emcees Recognise", taken from his new double album, Culture. Rooted in classic ’90s boom-bap, the track features New Jersey legends Artifacts — El Da Sensei and the late, great Tame One — bringing their trademark blend of rugged cadences, sharp wordplay and effortless mic chemistry. Their distinct flows cut through the production with the same raw energy and Brick City swagger that made the duo such an influential force in underground Hip Hop.

The collaboration with Profit adds another layer of intensity, resulting in one of The Tangiers' most heartfelt releases to date.

Wild Samson - Oceanic Pyrenees
Wild Samson is one of the most driven artists operating within the UK underground hip-hop circuit, with a catalogue of highly acclaimed EPs, including collaborative projects alongside Hazz, Airklipz and Statik Selektah, as well as a consistent run of full-length albums that have cemented his reputation within the homegrown scene. Samson’s style is firmly rooted in the lineage of raw, sample-driven boom bap, elevated by a contemporary experimental sensibility, characterised by a distinctive tonal quality and sonic texture, complemented by precise delivery and controlled, commanding flow. Now the Nyark general returns with his latest album Oceanic Pyrenees, a tightly constructed twelve-track body of work that broadens his sonic palette while remaining anchored in uncompromising underground aesthetics. This is crafted for listeners who value authentic, unfiltered hip-hop at its purest form, this is the sound of Nyark.
Oceanic Pyrenees sees Wild Samson refine his signature sound across tightly executed collaborations and focused solo cuts, with production from accomplished beatmakers BrimBeatz, Beatenaut, Sincere Noble, Rob Evn, Elevatedkind, Axys Beats, Mr Darko, CVGI Beats and 4Most constructing a richly textured backdrop of atmospheric, gritty boom bap sonics and musically driven hip-hop compositions. Guest features from Trademark Blud, LATE, Hazz, Airklipz, Andy Princz, Mindor and DJ Amo add further dimensionality and tonal depth, with a succession of standout moments woven throughout the project. The album is underpinned by incisive lyricism, disciplined structural design and a coherent underground aesthetic that reinforces Samson’s position as a key architect within Nyark’s evolving sonic continuum. This is a work of considerable artistic calibre and cohesive execution, far beyond standard rap output, a meticulously crafted body of music that demands attention and should not be overlooked.

Lu Chin Chen "Height" EP
Lu Chin Chen handles all of the rhymes and vocals on this one and doesn't disappoint.
The first single, "Cheque It Out" features production by Zam One with the chorus and bridge cuts by Dystrakted. Lu hits you with some slick bars that blend humor in, similar to Beatnuts, Alkaholiks etc., over some cracking drums by Zam.
There is also an animated video for 'Call the Ambulance', produced by Fuzzy Ed, featuring Dystrakted, coming in late July, animated by Kaleb Bumboclap who did Lu's video for 23 Guinnesses from Lu's Weight Ep from 2023, also produced by Fuzzy Ed and featuring Dystrakted's prime time cuts.
Overall great body of work and a well put together blend of beats.
The sound quality is top notch thanks to Mark Downie who handles all of Lu's mixing & mastering on all of his albums since 2004.
"Height" will be streaming on all platforms on 7/7/2026 with CDs and downloads available for purchase a https://luchinchen.bandcamp.com
