"Play 2 Win" - Signif ft. Elzhi

We've been digging the carefully cultivated work of Signif since her first EP, so throwing an Elzhi guest verse into the mix is a guaranteed ticket for Real Yeti Rap coverage. (We love Detroit, period.)

"Ghost at the Finish Line" - Quelle Chris

Fuck yeah. A low budget fever dream, creative, brave and fun stuff. Quelle Chris is one of my favorite rap mammals, an unpredictable and bluntly genuine free spirit type from Detroit. The good people at Mello Music Group released his last album, which has a name in common with this song.

"The Ghost of Robert Frost" ft. Teddy Faley and Selfsays - Loop Minded Individuals

A tasty jam from Stockholm-based production crew Loop Minded Individuals, who had to good sense to get Teddy Faley to wander through and destroy a verse alongside Detroit emcee Selfsays. This is a single from an actual album -- props to anyone still making those! -- called "A Hitchhikers Guide to a Verse."

Looking over the tracklist, you'll conclude that these "Loop Minded" motherfuckers have good taste to spare, because the album also features Elucid and Has-Lo in a sprawling marquee of heavy hitters from the North American underground. Props to ESH the Monolith and Intrikit for assembling such a distinctly Voltron-esque project.

"ONE TWO EP" - Taarach

Like so many other crackers of my generation, I got introduced to Taarach through the classic track Juicin' Dranks off "Above the Heavens." Taarach stole the song and continues to shine on everything he touches. This latest EP is dirty and fun.
