2Slimey – Times changin (Official Music Video)

Hailing from Oklahoma, 2slimey is a young rapper rapidly rising from the underground with an aggressive noise-rap and rage-inspired style.

Even Lil Uzi Vert has taken notice, and his momentum shows no signs of slowing.

The single he released in March 2026 is this track.

Its extremely distorted sound, near-screamed vocals, and short, looping phrases create a trance-like effect, resulting in a song that explodes with aggressive energy.

You can feel the continued surge from the album “More Anxiety,” which dropped in February 2026.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience provocative hip-hop or mosh-ready, extreme music.

Released in March 2026, this work packs a wealth of appeal into a brief 2 minutes and 46 seconds.

It’s a stirring dance tune that’s perfect not only for the club, but also for everyday drives and relaxing moments.

Failure – “A Way Down” [Official Lyric Video]

Failure, the alternative rock band that has maintained a cult following with their distinctive sound since the 1990s.

Here is the single they released in March 2026.

This is the second advance track from their album Location Lost, slated for release in April of the same year.

It pays homage to the post-punk and gothic rock of the 1980s that inspired Ken Andrews and others, featuring a low-centered, weighty sound and a compellingly dark atmosphere.

The lyrics depict breakdowns in human communication and loneliness, shaping a cold, dramatic worldview that offers no easy salvation.

Released in March 2026 as the title track to their album VINDICATE, which is set to drop in May 2026, this piece showcases a heavy arrangement where massive guitar tones and ferocious screams explode.

Its theme, portraying the duality of vengeance and self-recovery, meshes brilliantly with the sound, resulting in a dramatic metalcore track that is quintessentially them.
