After a five-year hiatus, Brooklyn-bred hip-hop duo The Underachievers are making their long-awaited return with Homecoming, their first full-length project since 2018 via SLANG.

Below is the video for “Losing Feathers” and it expresses that before you can grow as a person, you need to experience the hardships and basically what life can throw at you. “Sometimes a bird loses feathers when it learns to fly” which indicates before you can be successful you need to realize that before success there is failure. And this song also explains how drugs can take over your life and that no matter how much people around you want’s you to stop; they don’t understand why you decided to do certain things. No one truly understands your life and what occurs daily. As you watch the video; you can see that the video starts black and white indicating the past and then it goes to color which means the start of a new beginning in their music era.

Known for their psychedelic soundscapes, introspective bars, and spiritual undertones, The Underachievers—comprised of Issa Gold and AKTHESAVIOR—are emerging from silence with a project that is both a reflection on their artistic journey and a declaration of what’s to come. Homecoming serves as a mirror to the years they’ve spent in service to their craft and community, while also laying the foundation for a powerful new era in their creative evolution. The album delivers hypnotic textures, rapid-fire lyricism, and a clarity of vision that makes it one of their most complete and mature bodies of work to date.

Homecoming also features a guest appearance from Brooklyn legend DJ Enuff, adding a layer of hometown authenticity and generational synergy to the project. The Underachievers’ commitment to their roots has also been reflected in recent live appearances. 
During New York Fashion Week the duo performed at a special One Night Only event in collaboration with local designer GianiNYC, bringing their Flatbush flair to an elevated runway experience. They reunited with longtime friends Flatbush Zombies for an explosive performance in Los Angeles—further cementing the enduring power of the Beast Coast movement.
