Featuring tracks by Parv0, Ghostemane, Hook, Original God, Garbage Boy, Tommy Ice, and many more
Keep up to date with essential songs from underground artists by following our Unleashed playlist on Spotify:
Ghostemane & Parv0 – “I duckin hatw you”
Parv0 was selling merch on Ghostemane’s tours, until one fateful day they were short a DJ and he stepped up to the plate. Since then, Parv0 has continued to thrive as a touring DJ and has also been releasing various singles and projects as a producer — one of the most recent being HUMAN ERR0R, a collaborative EP with Ghostemane.
HOOK – “NO!” [PROD. NEDARB & CAPTAIN CRUNCH]
Hailing from Riverside, California, Hook has become an exciting act to watch with her staccato flow and no-nonsense bars. With production by Nedarb and Captain Crunch, her debut album BULLY puts her uniquely West Coast sound on full display.
Original God – “Falling Apart” (feat. Hella Sketchy) [prod. Quali]
A few weeks ago, Original God announced the release date of his Devilman Crybaby EP, which has a sole Hella Sketchy feature on “Falling Apart”. Yet, on June 27th, 2019 — just days before the project’s release — Hella Sketchy tragically passed away. The 18-year-old rapper and producer was in a coma for 14 days after suffering a drug overdose.
Original God shared in a Tweet “most of u already know but hella sketchy is the only feature on the ep dropping tonight. idgaf how this project does idc if you like it all i ask is you listen to jacob’s verse on the final track. it’s beautiful.”
Because of the round-the-clock care Sketchy required, the financial needs are surmounting. You can donate here to his family’s gofundme to help with their co-pays, deductibles, and memorial services. As of this Monday, more than $14,000 had been raised, with a $100,000 goal. A memorial service in LA is currently being planned.
Garbage Boy – “Lose My Mind”
Remember the goth crocs? Well, it turns out that their inventor Garbage Boy just so happens to make really really good music. Currently one of only two tracks on his SoundCloud, “lose my mind” serves as a promising taste of what is to come from the musician and designer.
Tommy Ice – “In My Bag” (prod. Pretty Boy Ron)
When we spoke with Tommy Ice last March, he was positioning himself to be Atlanta’s next rising star. With his Up Next mixtape, the vocalist and producer is manifesting exactly that.
lil hawk boy – “let it go”
lil hawk boy told us he lives in “one big cornfield” somewhere in rural Illinois, but that doesn’t seem to be stopping the young artist from self-producing some incredibly catchy tracks. “let it go” is yet another example of his intoxicating melodies and tranquil vocals.
Gweilo Ghost – “Sapphire” feat. May Hemp (Prod. Deliverthecrush)
London, England’s Gweilo Ghost has an incredibly unique voice — and his harmonies are just as soothing. As of late, he has been working closely with producer Deliverthecrush, and the two recruited Seattle’s May Hemp for “Sapphire”
kaiyko – “KILLER ON THE DRIVE HOME” (PROD. 6SIGMA)
Despite having only returned to the scene earlier last year after her year-long hiatus, kaikyo has returned with a consistent stream of singles. “KILLER ON THE DRIVE HOME” is her most recent, which features dynamic vocals and production by collaborator 6SIGMA.
Celestia – “T.M.I.Y.D.” (prod. Inochi)
If you’ve ever wished witch house would make a come back, you should be paying attention to Celestia. The Portland-based singer just released her SHAMEFUL EP, which had “T.M.I.Y.D.” as its second single.
ghost/\/ghoul – “Oh True”
With ghost/\/ghoul’s productions seemingly coming out of their very own fantasy world, the TeamSESH instrumentalist has become a master of melodies. He just released yet another project, PHANTOM_RESET.
