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.

Face it, Michael Jordan has more OG swag than anyone.

“Life is just a bitch, a bitch is like a ho. Hoes want the money, money come and goes. Friends turn to foes, foes they be fake. If you listen when ya old head talkin’ you’ll be straight.”

Danny Brown & Tony Yayo – Trippin' (ft. Lil B)

Danny Brown & Tony Yayo - Trippin’ (ft. Lil B)

Yeah…I know…what an epic three way artist combo. I bet you probably never knew about Tony Yayo and Danny Brown’s 2010 mixtape Hawaiian Snow…or that Danny Brown almost got signed to G-Unit a couple years ago. The mixtape is good, but it definitely could have been better. Tony Yayo doesn’t exactly stack up to the other two for this song, but it’s overall feel is still swagged out beyond belief. If your super fucked up, this song is perfect. Danny Brown really kills it. Thank you Based God!

Lolipop (feat Lassro) by Traxamillion

I had this as my ringtone for a few months. Some crazily amazing slap music from the Bay Area, and sadly fairly under the radar. If I want to get pumped up, this is what I play.
