Bonus Beats
corto.alto came through to the KEXP studios back in March for a set of joints.
More rapping at the crib with the homey NAHreally, with a set of songs from his excellent EXTRA CHEESE, starting with one of my favorite cuts from the album.
Liv.e and Karriem Riggins brought the GENA experience to NPR's Tiny Desk with a soulful set of joints from The Pleasure Is Yours.
And speaking of experiences, the full Gelliverse was in effect at the KEXP studios as Gelli Haha and the gang lit up stage with full color performances of tracks from Switcheroo.
Vince Staples' new album Cry Baby is out today, and last night he performed the album in full at the El Rey in Los Angeles with a live band.
April + VISTA's Audiotree Live session is now available on Bandcamp, and you can catch the footage up above, along with a short interview with Psalm One.
Marcus Pinn has perfect timing. Fresh on the heels of Boards of Canada's return, he's released a mix dedicated to the duo, scratching over their tunes with drops from folks like Rapswell, ALASKA, Odd Nosdam, and more. Cop the limited edition cassette or digital download from your friends at Three Dollar Pistol Music on Bandcamp.
