Artist: Alchemist

With an EP out now and an album on the way next month, Detroit champion and long-time Dilla associate House Shoes is clearly knee deep in the beats right now. His latest release, The Time EP , is out now, bit it doesn't stop there. Oh no, no, no. The Time is the place setter for Let It Go , House Shoes' LP which is set to drop next month.

Punchline spits a new freestyle to Alchemist's instrumental. Pick up Underground Superstar on iTunes. iTunes: Underground Superstar - Punchline & DJ Soulclap

"You cats need practice." I would be lying if I said Punchline and Wordsworth didn't play a big role in my journey through Hip Hop. Lyricists Lounge was not just one of my favorite television shows, but one of my favorite albums. One of those albums that made me happy that the car I had during my senior year of high school had a tape deck. And through one of those black blank tapes and a discman (the original serato combo), I could play cds in the car and drive home from school listening to "Da Cipher". Both [...]

The Alchemist is one of my favorite people in Hip Hop. Beyond being a monster on the beats, he's just a cool dude and his interviews are always entertaining if you dig dry humor.

The Alchemist and Oh No - a.k.a Gangrene - are hip hop multi-taskers, with both gentlemen being willing and able to fire up some banging beats or drop a few rhymes if need by. Alc and Oh made a few waves back in January with their LP Vodka & Ayahuasca , a grimy, heavy number that gave them the platform to show their do-it-all repertories. Now they're back with a free EP, Odditorium, delivering more of the hard stuff that Vodka & Ayahuasca introduced. Dense beats, [...]

That's right, four new tracks from two of hip-hop's best double-threats as they produce and rap on Odditorium . I asked this yesterday on Facebook but it deserves to be repeated: Is anyone making better psychedelic hip-hop music than Gangrene these days? I think not. Download: Gangrene - Odditorium [Red Bull]
