Quelle Chris - DEATHFAME

Quelle Chris delivers what might be his most challenging album yet.

Quelle Chris & Chris Keys - Innocent Country 2

The sequel to Quelle Chris and Chris Keys' Innocent Country is one of the rapper's most sobering efforts and continues his winning streak.

Quelle Chris - Guns

Despite some structural shortcomings, Guns is a great work of politically-charged jazz rap.

Jean Grae x Quelle Chris - Everything's Fine

Jean Grae and Quelle Chris have a yin and yang chemistry on Everything's Fine, one of the smartest, funniest, and most eclectic hip hop albums I've heard this year.

Open Mike Eagle - Brick Body Kids Still Daydream

Brick Body Kids is Open Mike Eagle at his most low-key, but it's also his most cohesive and emotionally potent work so far.

Quelle Chris - Being You Is Great, I Wish I Could Be You More Often

Though Being You Is Great... contains some of Quelle Chris' most obtuse material, it is also the Detroit MC's most ambitious and cohesive album yet.

Premiere: Quelle Chris - "BS Vibes" ft. House Shoes

Quelle Chris drops more jazzy, left-field vibes from his upcoming album, Being You Is Great, I Wish I Could Be You More Often. This isn't one of his more structured tracks, featuring an endless instrumental loop and low-key verses separated by DJ cuts that reiterate a simple mantra: "Don't stand so close to me." Chris' bars reveal his devotion to the art of lyricism, peppered with clever references to his skill and youth, "I lived by the loose leaf since a kid. Ice cream on the face like Gucci." While it may not seem like much on its own, this track is sure to add to a chill, heady vibe on this forthcoming LP.

Being You Is Great, I Wish I Could Be You More Often drops February 10 via Mello Music Group.

Kool Keith - "Super Hero" ft. MF DOOM

Kool Keith joins forces with MF DOOM for this comicbook-themed single off his upcoming album Feature Magnetic, out September 16 via Mello Music Group.
