A while ago in an interview with FBZ Meech mentioned that "People keep bugging us and Eric and Kirk Knight to do a collab" he later when on to say once they can get the two together it'll definitely happen
MyNameIsGhost That's cool but i want to hear a beast coast album. Like PE, UA, and FBZ all collaborating on the same project like FBZ and UA did with clockwork indigo.
XYNO and Butterfly Effect are obviously the two standout tracks on this EP. They're just so god damn good. XYNO has that dark, sinister beat and catchy hook from Erick and Butterfly Effect delivers in message and story and feeling in the song, especially from Meech. All in all, this Clockwork Indigo shit was fuckin APE.
Matthew Duncan what are you talking about lol BSS2 was very dark, atmospheric, and violent! Definitely as great as BSS1. In my opinion, both are equally great in different ways.
***** Truth, both of them are great releases. Been waiting for that track with the Mr. Brightside beat ever since he uploaded that video of his Memphis to LA flight.
I thought it was a great ep (overall I'd give it 8/10) but damn I just wish it was more than 5 songs. I actually felt the opposite way in regards to Butterfly Effect. When I originally saw the track runtime I was turned off but since it's come out I've been listening to it regularly and have been enjoying the slow pace.
Happy Birthday Anthony! Hopefully Cal is throwing you a party that is at least a strong 8/10. Keep him away from the karaoke machine and it will be a 9/10.
You can review Looptroop Rockers from Sweden. Their new LP "Naked Swedes" dropped 29/10-14. Don't know how much I like it yet. But Looptroop is one of the most respected groups in swedish hiphop. Very good earlier projects imo...
I really enjoyed listening to this EP. The lyrics were standard compared to their other stuff, but for the most part, it was good. I was bumpin to LUAM the whole last week.
Fuckin' loved it. Saw Clockwork several days ago in ATL. Shit was insane. Constant moshing, shit was rough but me and my bros made our way to front row so the dehydration and exhaustion was worth it. Just hope you prefer constantly breathing in ganja smoke over oxygen....
I listened to this without knowing it was for a tour promo.. it didn't feel like that to me. This is just a solid hiphop collab and I hope they do more. This is why Hieroglyphics is one of my favorite collectives, they have smaller groups like souls of mischief and solo records like peploves ascension which is a masterpiece, but they also do whole albums with like 7 people on it; to me this is what makes hiphop great.
Hey Anthony, Reuben are releasing the 10th Anniversary of their debut album on 3rd November. Would be awesome if you could review it. I'd be very interested on seeing your verdict on them as well. Arguably, they are the most influential underground band that ever came out of the UK. They broke up in 2008, but many bands have cited them as an influence. I'd be interested to see if you believe the hype about them is actually relevant or better still correct :)
okay just looked at your 3001 review... I left my thoughts in a lengthy comment but now I KNOW you don't listen to all the tracks bro... you didn't even say anything about XYNO... its only the BEST SONG ON THE EP... Im really disappointed
I really wish they did more shit like Butterfly Effect and really stretched out the form of the songs. They had the rappers and I'm sure Arc could pull it off with the beats.
I agree that this was produced really well! The flows and writing was great, but it was definitely missing that "OHHH" face melting moment. It'll go on a background playlist for me.
Sean Byrne I remember him not liking their vocal delivery being so same-y on every song, but they completely changed their vocals up on this new record. I wouldn't say crushes them, but both are very good in their own ways.
fantano, the new MONO double lp came out today. they added things to their sound and kinda actually broke "some" expectations. i would love to here a review of them. please try to review it :)
With all due respect bruh, I can take away points for whatever I want. I know what an EP is, but I was hoping for a much more extensive collab between these guys. This seemed like a rushed teaser.
Hey anothney love the videos and all the crazy banter keep up the good work happy birth day from the homie PHILO We have our birth days in the same month cool shit.
Yep absolutely. Kind of a loose affiliation between some young East Coast rappers including FBZ/UA, Joey Badass/Pro Era crew, ASAP Mob (at one point I believe), others too... it was referenced more often a couple years ago in their stuff.
***** The actual phrase "beast coast" existed way before them just referring to the East Coast in general. They just happen to call their collective "Beast Coast". It was the idea of Capital Steez, and it's UA, FBZ, Pro Era, ASAP Mob, and a few others.
I wish pro era would collaborate with FBZ and UA more
A while ago in an interview with FBZ Meech mentioned that "People keep bugging us and Eric and Kirk Knight to do a collab" he later when on to say once they can get the two together it'll definitely happen
MyNameIsGhost That's cool but i want to hear a beast coast album. Like PE, UA, and FBZ all collaborating on the same project like FBZ and UA did with clockwork indigo.
campfire247 a whole beastcost album would be dope af
+campfire247 imagine a beast coast album x ASAP mob
+campfire247 joey and meech said they'll do more in the future, they'd also do whole beast coast tapes but focus on themselves for now
XYNO and Butterfly Effect are obviously the two standout tracks on this EP. They're just so god damn good.
XYNO has that dark, sinister beat and catchy hook from Erick and Butterfly Effect delivers in message and story and feeling in the song, especially from Meech. All in all, this Clockwork Indigo shit was fuckin APE.
Chase Bolzan
LUAM my favorite song
System is also great
Clockwork Indigo is meant to be experienced live! its so crazyy
Going to check it out since i loved the underachievers album :-)
XISUMA!!
bruh you have earned allot of respect from me Xisuma!
+xisumavoid Bro you wouldn't expect a minecraft youtuber to be interested in east coast hip-hop. Respect
i love you xisumavoid
man you have no idea how much respect you've just earned from me, wow
Ak, Nyck Caution, Meeche & Joey on a track would be insane
Add Denzel Curry and that might be one of the dopest tracks period.
BlazedGorillaglue Issa, Meech and Joey Badass is so dank
Willy C Locs don't ever say dank ever again
what happens
Guess you got your wish homie
Xavier Wulf - Blood Shore Season 2
it was cool but not like his other projects it wasn't that wavy or dark
Matthew Duncan what are you talking about lol BSS2 was very dark, atmospheric, and violent! Definitely as great as BSS1. In my opinion, both are equally great in different ways.
***** Truth, both of them are great releases. Been waiting for that track with the Mr. Brightside beat ever since he uploaded that video of his Memphis to LA flight.
i actually like BSS2 a lot more than BSS1 but i still like em both
i would like to see a review of xavier wulf as well since he reviewed bones mixtape before
Happy Birthday Man! Clockwork Indigo is so sick, both Flatbush Zombies and The Underachievers kill it!!! Thanks for reviewing this maneee
That System of a Down sample on System though...
Not many of the people I know who listened to it knew where it was sampled from or even who System of a Down is
卿 CZMO SOAD is godly, man.
卿 CZMO
You must know everything about music. You are the best please teach me to learn all good music from the past please?
John Cena's album. Start there.
卿 CZMO Potato salad raps?
ain't this what you want love, sex, drugs
Happy birthday, Anthony! Keep up the great reviews, and thanks for helping me discover new types of music.
I thought it was a great ep (overall I'd give it 8/10) but damn I just wish it was more than 5 songs.
I actually felt the opposite way in regards to Butterfly Effect. When I originally saw the track runtime I was turned off but since it's come out I've been listening to it regularly and have been enjoying the slow pace.
probably thee most fair review i've seen in awhile
Happy Birthday Anthony! Hopefully Cal is throwing you a party that is at least a strong 8/10. Keep him away from the karaoke machine and it will be a 9/10.
Happy birthday Bigthony Boytano, thanks for helping me burn time with your opinons.
Only a 7??? What the HECK! Why not give it a 70/10 LIKE IT DESERVES!!!!!11! Anthony Fantano? More like Anthony Fantanblows!
If money be the dream, my nigga stay lucid - Meechy Darko. My favorite line from the whole EP.
Happy Birthday, I have appreciated watching your quality reviews.
REVIEW AMERIKKKAN KORRUPTION
You can review Looptroop Rockers from Sweden. Their new LP "Naked Swedes" dropped 29/10-14. Don't know how much I like it yet. But Looptroop is one of the most respected groups in swedish hiphop. Very good earlier projects imo...
Det var ingen bra skiva imo... Så nej det behövs inte. Hade höga förhoppningar men fick inte mycket tillbaks...
mkt svenska hära, fuckar ni med beast coast något?
Beast Coast har jag ingen koll på. Lyssnar mest på amerikaner och britter (med undantag för Timbuktu och några fler...). Är Beast Coast från Sverige?
Happy Birthday!!!!
Thanks for the great reviews over the years!!
happy birthday fantano!! really enjoy your reviews
Happy birthday, Anthony! You're doing an amazing job and thank you :)
I really enjoyed listening to this EP. The lyrics were standard compared to their other stuff, but for the most part, it was good. I was bumpin to LUAM the whole last week.
Happy Birthday Anthony! You are appreciated!
I'd personally give it a strong 7. XYNO is my favorite track though, great hook and a solid beat
XYNO is so good!
You love Flatbush Zombies huh? I do too. Happy Birthday by the way man!
bruh if you where a die hard fan of them both and the beast coast movement, when this shit finally came out, it was like finallllly. lit
Happy birthday !!! I love your videos, you always put me on some good music. thanks anthony!
Happy Birthday! Thanks for the reviews man.
Please review Deniro Farrar - Rebirth EP and Statik Selektah - What Goes Around. Also happy belated!
Definitely Statik Selektah What Goes Around
Happy Birthday Buddy! When is the review of the new Kayo Dot coming out?? You were looking forward to this record and it's been out for a while now.
Fuckin' loved it. Saw Clockwork several days ago in ATL. Shit was insane. Constant moshing, shit was rough but me and my bros made our way to front row so the dehydration and exhaustion was worth it. Just hope you prefer constantly breathing in ganja smoke over oxygen....
Happy Birthday Agony Fandingo. I hope you have a great one.
Hello Mr. Noodledrip, I sincerely think that you should review Ramona by Kill Bill of Exordium music
butterfly effect is amazing, but the rest was kind of mediocre. I love both of them and hope they keep working together, but i was expecting more.
Happy birthday!
Keep doing the greatwork! Thanks to you and Pitchfork I find many good music!
Happy birthday, Anthony! You too, Cal.
I listened to this without knowing it was for a tour promo.. it didn't feel like that to me. This is just a solid hiphop collab and I hope they do more. This is why Hieroglyphics is one of my favorite collectives, they have smaller groups like souls of mischief and solo records like peploves ascension which is a masterpiece, but they also do whole albums with like 7 people on it; to me this is what makes hiphop great.
Darkos verses on XYNO and benefit Concert are crazy good. Rawest and grimiest verses I've heard from him
Imagine FBZ x UA x PE x A$AP
str8 outta Flatbush Beast Coast Gang!!!
What do you think now? This EP is such a classic, even if Clockwork Indigo would somehow happen again it would never be the same sound...
Amen brother
Happy Birthday, Anthony!
The way you introduce your name in the beginning is always hilarious
It just means more flatbush and UA content, so it's good in my book
Happy birthday, volcano.
What is yer opinion on the latest Budos Band release?
happy belated birthday, anthony!!
Happy birthday man!!
Happy Birthday man!
Come on you got the wrong picture of the EP that's the picture of the buttlerfly effect

Opinions, opinions people have them.... :P
Wake up, thank god for my pay stub, collect my peso
I enjoyed this project. I never heard these guys solo.but this is pretty good. Anything else I should check out?
Anything from flatbush zombies and indigoism by the underachievers.
Indigoism and Betteroffdead must listen
I've heard Betteroffdead its a great album.
listen to the song herb shuttles, and mraz
I got tired of Underachievers quick even though they were my favorite of the bEast Coast movement. Flatbush took over with BetterOFFDead tbh.
I really wish they did more shit like Butterfly Effect and really stretched out the form of the songs. They had the rappers and I'm sure Arc could pull it off with the beats.
HAPPY 29TH BIRTHDAY DAD!
Honestly you're proving me wrong with your last 2 reviews. I'm sorry I'm just used to your hip hip reviews instead of underground music.
this is hip hop...
This is hip hop, and it's not really that underground either. Both groups have put out multiple successful projects already.
Evan O Yeah that's what I meant. I like these types of reviews instead of that underground hipster shit.
Conscious Being
ive never heard of this group, and they are not in the mainstream so isnt this is what u would call "hipster shit"?
darkmage4958 i dont think beastcoast is hipster shit plus its way better than whats being played on the radio
Review Dirty Beaches' last album, Stateless. I'm in love with it right now
Happy belated birthday Anthony!
I agree that this was produced really well! The flows and writing was great, but it was definitely missing that "OHHH" face melting moment. It'll go on a background playlist for me.
This EP is godlike.
Review the new Pianos Become The Teeth - Keep You, please.
***** He doesn't care for Pianos Become The Teeth, I don't think. La Dispute crushes them in the screamo-emo-post-hardcore game anyway.
Sean Byrne touché amoré.
Sean Byrne
I remember him not liking their vocal delivery being so same-y on every song, but they completely changed their vocals up on this new record. I wouldn't say crushes them, but both are very good in their own ways.
Seeing them live in NYC on Dec 5th. Going to witness greatness.
fantano, the new MONO double lp came out today. they added things to their sound and kinda actually broke "some" expectations. i would love to here a review of them. please try to review it :)
I liked the new Grouper album a LOT! What do you think of it?
BUTERFLY EFFECT
was so excited for this review!
Happy birthday Anthony. I discovered Godspeed You Black Emperor through you. Thanks.
Happy Birthday, the lack of cuts was impressive, you should try cutting them out of the regular reviews as a challenge to yourself
I feel the same man, clockwork sounds pretty good but I definitely prefer them separately.
Happy Birthday!!! Fandango! I would throw you a LOOPINATY birthday party, but i don't know how to throw any of those.....
happy birthday, this review is great
Happy 29th Birthday, Anthony! Be sure to review the Pop Spiders mixtape "Buscuits" when it drops in 2025. Shit's supposed to be hot fire.
Happy birthday Fantano!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND NEW BLACK MILK ALBUM
Happy Birthday, my man.
he forget XYNO
I really like XYNO such a banger to listen to with homies
It's time for a review of The Underachievers new album Evermore: The Art of Duality, you can't give it lower than a 10 to be honest
Exact same feelings on this one. I hope they keep working as Clockwork Indigo though.
Happy Birthday, Fanthony Antano!
happy birthday buddy
Happy Mother's Day Anthology!
Great Review!!! I give it a 7/10 only because it was so short...Also! Black Milk's, If There's a Hell Below just dropped. Please review it!! :)
EPs are meant to be short, you can't take away points from the album because it did when it's suppose to do.
With all due respect bruh, I can take away points for whatever I want. I know what an EP is, but I was hoping for a much more extensive collab between these guys. This seemed like a rushed teaser.
Hey anothney love the videos and all the crazy banter keep up the good work happy birth day from the homie PHILO
We have our birth days in the same month cool shit.
Happy Birthday Fantano!!!!!!
Hey Mr. Pandanthony Beartano, will you please review the new Panda Bear EP "Mr. Noah"? I would really appreciate it, thank you.
happy birthday fandango hope you had a nice day
you rated this higher than I thought, I'm a fan of beast coast but this ep just seemed boring to me
***** its a well known movement
***** Must be the first time listening to UA/FBZ then?
Yep absolutely. Kind of a loose affiliation between some young East Coast rappers including FBZ/UA, Joey Badass/Pro Era crew, ASAP Mob (at one point I believe), others too... it was referenced more often a couple years ago in their stuff.
Haha, basically man.
*****
The actual phrase "beast coast" existed way before them just referring to the East Coast in general. They just happen to call their collective "Beast Coast". It was the idea of Capital Steez, and it's UA, FBZ, Pro Era, ASAP Mob, and a few others.
Happy B-Day, mang.
Review Flatbush Zombie's debut album
yeah you should definitely peep that album.
fuck yeah. 3001 is great
He did
I felt the exact same way about "SYSTEM" should of been longer but with more FBZ verses.
Honestly surprised to see u haven't reviewed dillon cooper x xx
happy birthday anthony!
I'd like to hear your thoughts on the new Atriarch record. If you wouldn't mind.
Yo...Yo Anthony you should totally review the gray album tho -___-
i heard it's not total Camel shit well if you know what i mean.
Could you review the new "At The Gates" album? Its their first album in 19 years! :D
YUNOREVIEW Kayo Dot and Pharmakon?
XYNO is soooooo good
Brandon Art
happy birthday dad, love you, come back home
review The Acacia Strain's Coma Witch and the new Code Orange
you already did the new Code Orange my bad
Finally he gives an actually good project a decent review. Instead of all that mainstream garbage that he caters to.
