LISTEN TO: HALEEK MAUL (AFTER-MIDNIGHT HIP-HOP NOIR DOPENESS)

Haleek Maul is a 15-year-old (yep) rapper from Brooklyn who specializes in brooding, cinematic hip-hop, with command of a flow that you wouldn’t expect from a kid that young (but there’s been stuff going around in the water in NYC for the last 20 years, so kids these days are coming out crazy talented, or blind and without arms, or both. Some shit). He’s got a new single coming out on Mishka, so we caught up with him to discuss all the important shizzzzzz.

Superchief Interviews Zeb From POPO

Zeb is from Po Po, and makes music that is best initially experienced by watching the creepy goddamn video they just made, where he creepstalks a model through the back woods of a small town, wearing ladies stockings on his head. It looks like a fucking nightmare, and its the most romantic thing we’ve seen all day.

His album release party is with Win-Win this Thursday in the back room of Public Assembly, which is both a terrible name for a venue and also a good place to do drugs. We talked to him over G-chat, because transcribing shit is for morons.

A TRAVELOGUE OF 1990′S NEW YORK, THROUGH HIP-HOP VIDEOS

Take a trip into the New York of the 1990′s with these Hip-Hop videos shot in the dirty 5 Boroughs. Pop 40′s with the homies, smoke a blunt on the stoop and take a trip back in time; dope stuff.

CULTS OF NEW YORK CITY: OTO (ORDO TEMPLI ORIENTIS)

In New York I always feel amazed at how many parallel realities and uses of the city as an “arena” are simultaneously happening at once. The guy biking past you might be a weed messenger, the guy sitting on a bench might be an undercover cop, the dude standing right next to you on the train could be on his way to a nudist convention, and the guy at the coffee shop could be a member of a cult or secret society.
