The Underachievers drop “Homecoming”, a mature, high-impact return to hip-hop’s frontlines.
Celebrated Brooklyn duo The Underachievers return after a five-year absence with their new album Homecoming, out now via SLANG. The project marks a significant milestone for Issa Gold and AKTHESAVIOR, showcasing their growth as lyricists, producers, and cultural figures.
With nine tracks, Homecoming presents a clearer, more focused version of the pair—fusing spiritual insights, street storytelling, and sonic experimentation into one cohesive vision.
Highlights include “Brand New”, whose visual reintroduces the duo as action figures—a nod to their place in the hip-hop canon. “Have Nots,” produced by Issa, gained heavy traction through On The Radar, leading to his recognition on the Splice Producer list. Social engagement topped 1,400 comments and 4,400 shares, showing fans were ready for the return. 
Also included is “Megatron,” a hard-hitting single that explores self-mastery and resilience, wrapped in New York tension and resolve. Longtime Brooklyn tastemaker DJ Enuff joins as a guest, connecting the city’s past and present scenes.
Live, they’ve made recent appearances at New York Fashion Week and reunited with Flatbush Zombies in Los Angeles—reviving the Beast Coast movement’s magnetic energy.
Editorial support across Spotify, Apple Music, and The FADER signals a strong reception from gatekeepers and fans alike. Homecoming is more than a return—it’s a reckoning, a reflection, and a renewed declaration of purpose.
