From Detroit to NYC find out what's blazing in the clubs and what's on its way to the UK.
Are you feeling Reggaeton? Is Horrorcore rap too dark? Does underground music suffer when it goes mainstream?

How can you do a horrorore documentary without mentioning Mars or Ganksta NIP? What about Brotha Lynch? Necro? Mars is probably the only one out there representing it the hardest IMO. Project Deadman too.

Horrorcore touches on the operatic aspects of hip hop. I don't kill people or anything of that nature but horrorcore does reach that part of me that screams out in anger, it helps me to know that I'm not the only one that sees the truly ugly and horrible aspects of living on this blue sphere that theres no escape from. A pessimistic way of looking things? Maybe, but if you take a moment to open your mind and shut your mouth for a minute you might see how freeing it can be.
