LOD FreestyleDesiigner

Desiigner – LOD Freestyle (Official Visualizer)

Desiigner, the Brooklyn-born rapper who hit No.

1 in the U.S.

with Panda in 2016 and drew attention for his collaboration with Kanye West, returns with this release from his independent label LOD Entertainment in October 2025.

The title references his 2018 EP L.O.D.

(Life of Desiigner), carrying a narrative thread that spans his major-label era through to independence.

With Domingo as producer, the project rides on hard-edged beats rooted in rugged ’90s East Coast drum breaks, distilling shout-outs to his Brooklyn roots and a self-redefinition.

He reins in excessive melodies and ad-libs, making a clear statement that it’s about bars and cadence—marking a pivot from post-trap signifiers toward classic rap.

A must-hear track for anyone craving the texture of classic New York hip-hop.

Pain ShowsEdward Skeletrix

Pain Shows

Edward Skeletrix is a Florida-born, Atlanta-based rapper and producer—an outlier artist who traverses rage, cloud rap, and experimental rap while drawing attention with AI-generated visuals and meta-styled presentation.

Released in November 2025, this two-minute single features producers Cavitnak and Larua.

Its duality—laying bare pain while mythologizing the self—is distilled through razor-edged 808s and distorted vocal processing.

Coupled with a process-oriented approach that gradually unveiled rough cuts during production, the project invites listeners to enjoy not just the finished piece but the very act of its creation.

For anyone eager to feel the velocity and experimental spirit of today’s rap scene, this track is irresistible.

TANZNEIDElectric Callboy

Electric Callboy – TANZNEID (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Electric Callboy, the German band drawing global attention for their bold fusion of electro and metalcore, continue their hot streak: after changing their name in 2022 and hitting No.

1 on the German charts with the album TEKKNO, their new song released in October 2025 serves as the theme for their large-scale world tour named after the band.

The track interweaves rave-style synths with heavy breakdowns, striking a perfect balance between dancefloor euphoria and metallic heft.

The music video, released on Halloween, sparked buzz with its blend of sci-fi horror and party mayhem, and a Japan show is slated for August 2026.

Effortlessly crossing the border between EDM and metalcore, their sound is the perfect pick for anyone who wants to move their body to the fullest at a live show.

CenturyEsDeeKid

EsDeeKid – Century

SD Kid, a rapper from Liverpool, is a rising talent who has taken the UK underground by storm since his 2024 debut.

He blends a deep, talky delivery rooted in his Scouse accent with a unique sonic palette that fuses US trap, UK drill, and cloud rap.

Released in October 2025, this track runs just 1 minute and 49 seconds, yet stands out as a drill cut with an addictive hook and a heavyweight low end.

With a thick-accented delivery, he fires off bars about hunger for success, loyalty to his crew, and taunts toward rivals—realities of the streets that quickly spread via short-form video platforms like TikTok.

Riding the momentum of surpassing one million streams within days of release, the song also made its first appearance on the UK Official Chart in November.

It’s a prime example of a modern, viral-style hit that grabs listeners with a short, sharp strike.

BuckleFlorence & The Machine

Florence + The Machine – Buckle

A track from the album released simultaneously with Everybody Scream in October 2025 by a UK-defining art-pop band.

It’s an introspective song woven from gentle acoustic textures and Florence Welch’s reverb-laden vocals.

The exhilaration of basking in the cheers of thousands on a grand stage contrasts with the emptiness of not even receiving a reply from someone dear in private.

That juxtaposition is poignantly portrayed beneath the quiet melody.

The loneliness and frustration submerged beneath the fresh sonics, along with the wavering of self-esteem, seep deeper into the heart the more you listen.

It’s a piece that will resonate deeply with those who know the cruelty of fame or struggle with distance from someone important.

HARDSTYLE 2Fred again.., KETTAMA & Shady Nasty

Fred again.., KETTAMA & Shady Nasty – HARDSTYLE 2 (Warsaw, Poland, 17th October 2025)

This is a powerful collaborative track born from an unlikely lineup: London’s Fred again.., Ireland’s KETTAMA, and Australian post-punk band Shady Nasty.

Contrary to the title, it’s not pure hardstyle; instead, it fuses breakbeat and drum and bass into a jungly sound.

The raw, dry vocals and the razor-edged, aggressive breaks create palpable tension, directly channeling urban ennui and restlessness.

Released in October 2025, the piece was produced as part of Fred again..’s “USB002” project—10 shows in 10 cities over 10 weeks.

It’s a track that captures the cutting edge of club music, balancing explosive live energy with a spirit of experimentation.

DEATH CULT ZOMBIEGenesis Owusu

Genesis Owusu – DEATH CULT ZOMBIE (Official Video)

Genesis Owusu is a Ghana-born, Australia-raised rapper and singer known for a boundary-crossing sound that, while rooted in hip-hop, moves freely through funk, post-punk, and R&B.

A formidable talent, he won ARIA Album of the Year two releases in a row with his 2021 debut Smiling with No Teeth and his 2023 follow-up Struggler.

His new track, released in October 2025, is a scathing satire of contemporary society, where dogmatism and fear shackle people’s thinking and turn them into “zombies.” With barbed commentary aimed at male-supremacist rhetoric and culture-war theatrics, the song hammers its message home atop high-voltage electro-punk guitar riffs and a four-on-the-floor pulse.

Produced by Dan Hume, it’s engineered with a punch that moves bodies both live and in the club.
