Since we became acquainted with Dil last fall, the relentlessly creative artist and producer has wowed us with his versatility. The Michigan native’s knack for experimentation keeps us on our toes in the best way, and positions him to grow his platform outside of genre-specific constraints.

HERU HERU’s Ah-Deli and Foundation Mecca find themselves on a mission. Inspired by the golden era and the legends who paved the way, they strive to make room for lyricism in the modern hip hop landscape.

It’s pretty odd to think that we’re coming to the tail end of 2020. For one thing, things have actually picked up here considerably in UMC Land in December, with more live streams and all sorts of other fun on our plates. Imagine that — a December that actually gets busier as it goes.

For another, more obvious point: it has certainly felt at times like 2020 would never end, hasn’t it?
