The incomparable duo of Cousin Feo and Lord Juco take us to the fields of war torn Ukraine for their latest release as Death At The Derby. With production from Graymatter and cuts from DJ Dubplates, we get an introduction to Ukrainian soccer lore courtesy of hip hop’s afficionados.
Copywrite and Slug team up for a heart felt and thought-provoking song from the newly released album, The Last Supper. The sample while familiar takes on a different entity in the venerable hands of producer Swab. It’s somber and emotional as the artists have different yet personal perspectives on what it means to Turn The Page.
Copywrite has returned with a great vengeance with this new album that features so many great emcees and producers. Don’t miss out!
Marv Won is back with a video single from his recently released stellar album, I’m Fine Thanks For Asking. Higher, has our emcee showing off his skills and sharing his insights over his very own mellow and soulful production. He’s really showing off alot here with a multitude of talents. There are so many gems on this track. Here are a couple:
Niggas be dead wrong / Cuz I ain’t see no accomplishments on the headstone / Just a day of birth and when God told you to head home
It’s cold and heavy, you know how to shovel snow?
Now purchase the album. Thank you!
Oooooof….damn this joint is tough! Teflon tough. I always like showcasing something that might slip under your radar, so here it is…Gennessee featuring Ruste Juxx over a Vinny Idol banger. This joint makes a real statement and just a taste off of the project, Bucktown, that features a host of verses from Duck Down representatives. You’re not going to want to miss this joint or this project.
Napoleon Da Legend has ALOT of projects that he’s released over the last several years and always puts out dope music. But this new project with DJ Rhettmatic dropping next week called Legmatic, sounds like it might be a future favorite of mine. The beat from the Beat Junkie is off the richter with the drums and the scratching. Simply knocks hard with hip hop essence. This production really lets Napoleon Da Legend let loose with bars and a flow that truly typify The King Walk.
Substance810 has been grinding harder than anyone in the last couple of years, and here we have a taste of the third in the trilogy, The Lion’s Share 3: Pride Of The Lion. Substance810 and Observe Since ’98 have created a sound unto itself. And on Nothins the Same, you hear this epic sound as the duo who have put in the time, effort, and grind from the those rainy days to sunnier times. Much respect for what both of these artists continue to contribute time and time again.
New single from rhyme legend, Edo.G and producer extraordinaire, Tone Spliff. And with Catch Up you have a most excellent vibe. Spliff laces a joint that just kind of stalks the listener, as Edo.G invites you to verbally catch up with what he’s done and doing. Two professionals who are just continually setting the highest of standards.
New project, Audio Edibles, drops on Friday!
Dray Yard is a producer who is known for crafting boom bap hip hop and creating posse cuts that include emcees of all ilks. Some of them you have heard of before, and others maybe a little lesser known. But everyone gets a chance to shine over premium beats and elite scratches from Mr. Thing.
And true to the track name, Kalisthenics, the emcees here keep it moving over some high powered, and high bpm, boom bap.
K.A.A.N. and DJ Hoppa prepare for the release of their forthcoming project, Delusions Of Grandeuer, which I am very excited about. I have always enjoyed the music from the prolific, K.A.A.N, but hearing him over DJ Hoppa production just elevates the excitement for me. I think the two really bring out the best of each other. Here is the most excellent and final single before the project is released, Nightmare.
J-Live makes timeless hip hop. He was an innovator decades ago and still continues to flex innovation and talent. Here he shows off not only on the mic but on the production tip as well. Lose No Time is the first single off of the forthcoming album, Face Value. Surely to be all hip hop and no facade.
