Merry Christmas! Imaginary Sounds Mix 16: Universe Dirt

Well, I told you we'd be back. It's the holiday season, and with that comes time away from school, so Bates Love Motel and I decided to collaborate on this one. I hope you enjoy and had a great Christmas.

Universe Dirt is Imaginary Sounds' first foray into the world of hip-hop. Bates Love Motel and I set out to chronicle the diverse and interesting world that has grown out of the underground and experimental hip-hop scenes all over the world; focusing more on lesser known artists than already established classics like Wu-Tang Clan or others. Sure, we're missing some artists along the way, but these are our favorites from our research, and we're always eager to find even more. Expect more mixes to follow including influences from rap and hip-hop.
