SMOKEBLEEDEM – “BLOODLET”

July 10, 2026

Tonight when you go to bed, all tucked in nice and it’s just you and your thoughts, alternative hip hop artist SMOKEBLEEDEM’s voice will be the last thing you hear. Anticipate night terrors. His latest single, “BLOODLET” might have been mixed by Satan himself. Press play on this track and give it a listen before you read any more. It’s an evil sound. His underworldy growls mask a sharply written and rhymed track, which becomes more recognizable as a hip hop cut with every second listened. Scoring the scour are Backrooms-ian piano loops. Like running up a never-ending staircase with no escape. It feels a bit like we’re pregaming a sacrificial ritual by tossing it on, which isn’t pleasant but it’s captivating. Give SMOKEBLEEDEM a listen on Spotify. He’s got other vocal deliveries worth experiencing too — attacking from all sorts of sounds.

Atlas Lane – “Perennial”

November 3, 2024

The days get shorter, the nights darker, but jammy singer-songwriter Atlas Lane won’t let us let go of the light on his breezy new single “Perennial.” Channeling some OAR, 21 Pilots and DIPATCH, Atlas has a jammy alternative hip hop vibe, heavy on the guitar jangle and a sing-songy delivery that feels straight from a San Diego beach. “Perennial” parks you on the bench facing the waves, as Atlas discusses his love of his Steinway piano, his aversions to highway driving, and finding balance between restlessness and impatience. There’s singing, rapping, guitar licks, piano twinkles – it’s a chill track with a lot to offer. Take a deeper dive into Atlas Lane when you’re yearning for those 80-degree July October days.

SLVCKR – “Park Bench (Freestyle)”

October 15, 2024

Over a whimsical flute sample, alternative/lo-fi rapper SLVCKR brings a raw, unfiltered, and airtight flow to his latest single “Park Bench (Freestyle).” Tapping south Florida rapper Pouya, SLVCKR’s effortless on the mic, switching up rhyme schemes and providing that authentic freestyle feel. With an ear for bright, Sega Genesis-type instrumental samples, SLVCKR’s beat choice provides a good juxtaposition with his venom-tinged delivery as he spits through his clock-and-dagger rhymes. Production features cartoon-y and over the top vocal samples sprinkled in, giving the track an air of “I’m just fucking around, but it’s nice, right?” Check out more releases from SLVCKR on Spotify, where he raps into darker influences that’ll resonate with fans of $uicideBoys$ and dungeon crawlers.
