In this segment we’re giving life to the leagues of music being dropped every week during this trying, yet, interestingly enough, personal time. We at Nefarious Supply want you guys to always have a new underground project or creator, either on your mind, on your playlist, or on your feed in some way, shape, or form. In this instance, we’re doing this on an episodic basis and deciding to write on all the new music coming in through this station, five tracks at a time.
Our second episode brings us bangers from rap collectives such as DKTM and the Van Buren Boys, as well as sprinkles in some international sound from Calgary’s MainCiaga. Chicago newcomer Saeed accompanies Down Silence and Gussi Chamberlain in this six-track rotation.
Take a look! 😈
Van Buren Boys - Mo in the Benz
The newest release from the Brockton label, Van Buren Records, the VB Boys aren’t letting their foot off the gas this quarantine. Mo in the Benz is the third installment of the Van Buren Boys, which features every member of the label on a track.
Starting with heavy-hitting production from R Louie and an infectious chorus from Luke Bar$, Lord Felix slides into the flow, smooth as always.
He alley-oops to Jiles, who drops heavy and confident bars before slipping right back into the chorus. Saint Lyor helms the last verse and sets the production on fire for the last minute and ten seconds, closing the hype anthem off on a high note.
Pope Loud - Weight (ft. Blk Lexx & Beggar Allan Poe)
A Nefarious favorite, DKTM is back again with members Pope.Loud, Blk Lexx and upcoming artist Beggar Allan Poe, coming together for the silky and illustriously lucid track, Weight.
The first thing that catches your eye on Weight is the sheer depth of the production, from heavy bass and 808s to some sort of frantic synth progression and an overlaying sultry melody, the beat in and of itself is great.
Praise Baat Choy and Mouse. However, the vocals and lyricism of the track make it that much greater. Pope, Beggar, and Blk switch flows and pass verses smoothly throughout the duration of the track, letting off on various dark and brooding topics and ideals, bringing the overall atmosphere of the track to a head.
Saeed - Wicked Games Remix
Saeed is an upcoming rap artist based in Uptown, Chicago. In this dusky flip of the Weeknd’s Wicked Games, Saeed takes his time in the world of the XO King, embedding himself into the additional lyricism he spits over the slow and deliberate production.
He speaks on drunken nights, leaps of lust, fake love, drug obsession, and much more, flirting with the production as it strings him along from verse to verse. Saeed has proven himself a force to be reckoned with in the Chicago area and all of the Underground community. Look out for more from the artist on the Nefarious Blog!
Down Silence & Gussi Chamberlain - Exposure
A collaboration between Down Silence and Gussi Chamberlain, Exposure slows our playlist down a few bpms and adds beautiful guitar progressions and rightly placed hi-hats to complete the solid production. The vocals on this track are amazing and you could coast off them, alone, for the entire three minutes.
The fluttery melody gives the low-tempo beat to cruise all the way through the duration of the track beautifully.
MainCiaga - Drippin (prod. YeahthisMoh)
MainCiaga is a Canada-bred rap artist, based out of Calgary, Alberta. Ciaga has just released the video for his new song Drippin, produced by YeahthisMoh and shot by Alp Ardic. The soft beat with the light-hearted 808s and hi-hats pave a smooth road for Ciaga to steer his lyricism and flows along the beat.
It becomes a nice foundation for the grungy and heavy lyrics Ciaga spits overtop, and the video is honestly simply a good time. Take a look and leave a like!
