Big V's escapes blaze, Haley Bonar says goodbye to MN, Atmosphere drops free EP & next week's best new releases.

CAGE , Shia LaBeouf's bestie, has been hard at work transforming [see what we did there? Yeah, it's late, forgive us] his life into blisteringly honest underground hip-hop records and his latest is no exception. DEPART FROM ME comes out 7/7, but we've got a free MP3 download of a non-album track called "Follow The Bleeder" . You can get it for only a little while, though, so hit it up, and be sure to check out the record on 7/7. We're hearing talk that it's one of the best of the year, and really gripping, and we [...]
New York rapper Cage traffics in the kind of serious personal trauma that seems more at home on CSI than an indie-rap release.
Cage is the stage name of Brooklyn rapper Chris Palko. His new full length album, Depart From Me, comes out on July 7th.Blending rock sounds with heavy hip hop beats it would be easy to describe Cage's sound as rap rock. That term doesn't serve it justice. Unlike the rap rock of the late '90s (I'm looking at you Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit), Cage's music has a punk influence rather than a
With MJ gone, it's completely normal to be a little musically nostalgic this week. And there's a flood of reissues to satiate any taste for reminiscing, including repackaged albums from Black Sabbath, Bon Jovi, Asia, Bowie, and even Depeche Mode. I'll admit I've been digging deep in my iPod for those HIStory cuts, but I believe I'm ready to move on — sort of. With that in mind, here are a couple thrash-and-burn, aggressive metal discs, one essential sludge metal reissue, and a dose of indie hip-hop that might not make you want to moonwalk but may have [...]

WORD
I was a big fan of Cage's previous Hell's Winter album. I hadn't known his music beforehand but I picked up the album on the strength of some of the producers involved (DJ Shadow, Blockhead, Rjd2). I was completely blown away by the narrative and personal lyrics of the album right along with the gorgeous production. Of course, it also made me take notice for the first time the production of El-P, something which would completely change my world when I'll Sleep When You're Dead made it's way to the unsuspecting world. His follow-up, Depart [...]

Cage "Look At What You Did" "Look What You Did" is a leak from Cage 's Depart From Me , caught on El-p's Twitter .

I was excited to jump on my Twitter account and discover that Cage leaked another track off of Depart From Me . This track is called "Look at What You Did" and it is produced by Sean Martin of the Carboard City crew. The production is very heavy and sound similar to " Nothing Left To Say " when it kicks in. The synth in this track may cave your chest in if you play it too loud (literally) and the guitar strums make for a very nice touch. As usual, Palko spits his eerie flow very [...]

Cage - "Look At What You Did" C.C.W.M.

Brand new track from Cage's upcoming album Depart From Me (out July 7th via Def Jux). This release will be the follow-up to Hell's Winter , his 2005 critically-acclaimed LP, Depart From Me continues Cage's musical saga of a no-holds-barred, brutally autobiographical journey through his past & present. Plagued by abuse, institutionalization, drugs, & violence throughout his life, these nightmarish experiences have permeated his art & defined the music he makes today.
