The Best of Underground Hip-Hop

My name's Jake Bourey, and I've dedicated a significant portion of my life to music and deciphering the science behind its beauty. As you can guess from my blog's title, I'm especially passionate about hip-hop. I post and review the best songs hip-hop has to offer, old and new. Most are in the “underground” genre, considering that’s where the vast majority of hip-hop's true art resides these days.

The overall goal of this blog is to educate the general public by exposing them to outstanding hip-hop songs and artists that they might have otherwise never known about. Many people don't realize the hip-hop universe is filled with countless beautiful gems that sadly remain completely hidden deep underground, buried by the overwhelmingly fake, watered down, and soulless music of the mainstream radio and music industry. “There's a war going on outside no man is safe from”, so do your part and help real hip-hop fight back against this overly popularized wackness and sellout mentality. Long Live True Audio Art! I also make mashups and I co-run Hip-Hop Revolutions.

Brother Ali – Good Lord

Brother Ali - Good Lord

When it comes to spitting the truth, Brother Ali is one of the realest out there. I have a lot of respect for his music, not only because it’s all really fucking good, but because he never says anything he doesn’t believe from the bottom of his heart. He happily spills his soul onto his tracks and he doesn’t give a fuck about other people’s judgements…”whatever comes up comes out”. This is off of his outstanding 2009 EP The Truth Is Here.

“I play the hand I’m dealt, said sometimes the hardest thing to be in this world is just yourself”
