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.

Cut Chemist – What's The Altitude (ft. Hymnal)

Cut Chemist - What’s The Altitude (ft. Hymnal)

Cut Chemist has been active in the hip-hop scene for almost two decades. He was the dj and producer for Jurassic 5 and he’s also collaborated with DJ Shadow quite a few times. His music, as you can hear from this song, is very organic in nature, and he’s very keen at utilizing tons of varying samples to add a lot of depth and definition to his instrumentals. What’s The Altitude is my favorite song off of his outstanding 2006 album The Audience’s Listening. There’s also a MUSIC VIDEO for this song if you want to check it out.
