It’s rare that I get something in my inbox dope enough to post — but this video is a great example of dirt cheap creativity that really delivers the goods.

Dr. Khil - "Khilgore Trout"
Posted by Justin Boland on Jun 09, 2011 | 3 comments
Came across an excellent beat tape from a producer I first crossed paths with many, many moons ago in the Myspace days. Rather than simply re-posting it, I hit up Dr. Khil for an interview about his process and DIY hustle. This cat is focused and talented, and it’s a safe bet you’ll be hearing a lot more about him in 2011…

Louis Mackey & Thirtyseven - "No Humans Allowed"
Posted by Justin Boland on May 18, 2011 | 9 comments
Sorry things have been slow here — I’m on the road and I released a new album, so I’ve been falling behind here at Audible Hype. I figured the best way to get things moving again would be a full report on the process and the results behind my latest project, No Humans Allowed.

TeV95 - Crime Loops 2
Posted by Justin Boland on May 09, 2011 | 4 comments
Writing intros can be hard, but not this time: the first installment of Crime Loops was fucking awesome and the sequel is even better. I am passing it along so that Audible Hype readers can enjoy some high-grade, Brooklyn fresh, instrumental hip hop.

RockTheDub.com Presents "Fif"
Posted by Justin Boland on Mar 31, 2011
I’ve always held Rock the Dub in high esteem because Khal is a genuine voice, not a cheerleader or volunteer publicist. He’s consistently posting original material, he’s always good for blunt and honest feedback, and it turns out he’s been doing this for a long damn time, too. Five years, in fact — that’s like a century in Blog Years, isn’t it? To celebrate, he’s thrown together an awesome and sprawling mixtape for your enjoyments…

Sunday Mix: We Are World Around
Posted by Justin Boland on Mar 27, 2011 | 3 comments
Sorry for the downtime, folks. I’ve been spending the past month focusing on my own career for awhile, writing, recording and spending a week in Boston shooting music videos. We’re back now. Interviews on tap all week long, lots of new music to share, so let’s kick it off with a gem World Around dropped back in January — a compilation introducing just about the entire roster, from Las Vegas to Switzerland. Enjoy.

Star Persons: The Almost True Story of Electro-Rap's First Intergalactic Pioneers
Posted by Garrett Heaney on Mar 03, 2011
I had only heard of a few of these guys when I first got within earshot of this project, but no lie, Star Persons are on some next level. As much as I hate that phrase, it’s entirely accurate for this set, because nobody is doing anything like them. Luckily I had one of their producer’s info in my rolodex and he was kind enough to do an interview with me when I name-dropped Audible Hype. And yeah, you heard me right - these guys have multiple producers. In fact, their extended roll call is pretty deep, so that’s where I started my questioning.

Zilla Rocca first showed up here on Audible Hype when he gave one of the best interviews of 2010, “DIY Hip Hop Everything.” Today we come full circle as Zilla drops his latest EP, Bad Weather Classic, through World Around. Just in time for seasonal depression, we’ve got a beautifully dark dose of noir-hop for you…
