Kyle Hubbard is an up and coming emcee in Houston, TX. I know, I know, but what’s the selling point? Well, being that I’m not a huge proponent of Houston rap that sounds like Houston rap, I’m not necessarily that thrilled either. But that’s where Hubbard comes in an provides a little jolt to the scene around these parts. Carrying the influences of Atmosphere on his back, he set out to release a personal album that isn’t a snafu of wood grain and syrup. Kyle’s a storyteller, and because that drives his albums, I’m on board. Here’s an album he’s been working on for a while, to follow up his 2010 EP, Tomorrow in Retrospect. Download it below and hit the jump for a “get to know you” of sorts, as well as the album’s tracklisting.

look, i love asap. but this bullshit buffoonery needs to stop. this young MC and his degenerate crew started a fight at sxsw this past weekend (below the jump.) granted, they were provoked, but there’s definitely much better ways to handle it. likewise, don’t be salty with the XXL lists, regardless of how shitty they are. you’re a new artist, not lil wayne.

michael angelakos sure looks cheery up there in the studio, doesn’t he?
“I’m really obsessed with perfect songwriting craftsmanship.
I don’t think a lot of people in music today care about that.
Maybe Dr. Luke does, because he has a formula–
but it’s a terrible one, and it’s not going to last.”
pitchfork has an in-depth interview with the passion pit frontman on the new album and it’s swedish inspirations. check it our here.

our good friend dustin sits down with dallas’ original genius for a really lo-fi interview. it’s more of a profile, but it’s a nice (long) visual look into dustin cavazos, including his overall demeanor and some live clips to boot. plz for HD, yall.

love everything they’re saying about the new album. hoppin’ on the train of “introducing an american rock n’ roll sound/working class into what we have now.” other than that, the boys talk europe (where they are), old records, current records and much more in this clip.

while bret mckenzie is mostly known for his work on flight of the conchords, he also wrote a slew of songs for the muppet movie (which i still haven’t seen yet, but plan on), including the one above. NPR got the chance to sit down with brit, the new zealot (is that right?) to talk all things muppets, along with upcoming endeavors.
