Single You Out: Real Bad Man – Good Days (ft. TOBi x Blu)

Real Bad Man’s On High Alert Series has been on going for the last few years, and it’s not to be missed. He is one of the most underrated producers in my estimation. He has crafted many bangers in his time, but when I heard the song Good Days, featuring TOBi and Blu, I was blown away. This sample and beat are nothing short of majestic. When they say, “made the song cry” that’s what he did here. The soul that this song oozes is next level, and he deserves maximum recognition for this work.

You can find this joint and many other dope songs on his latest EP, On High Alert, Vol. 5.

Nutso – Redemption (Video)

We featured the single for Nutso’s single, Redemption, not all that long ago and now we get the video treatment. Again, really loving this song. From someone who was following him from near the very beginning, it’s super motivating to see him unleash something like this. The use of reality and AI in this video also gives it a real artistic flair to pair with Nutso’s redemption story.

I can’t wait to hear more.

Single You Out: Shottie & Mightyhealthy – Pagliacci (ft. Pro The Artist)

Well, I just got this album from Shottie and Mightyhealthy, Mighty Deadshot, and I am not overstating it when I tell you that this is one 2026’s must have albums. The beats here are nothing short of amazing, and Shottie’s writing and mic presence seem as heightened as ever. This is indefinitely his best project to date. As I was trying to select a song to showcase for this feature, each one sounded just as good as the last if not better so I settled on the last song of the project, Pagliacci. This track features a hook from Pro The Artist that plays the perfect compliment to this beat and rhyme. Do yourself a favor and cop this project!

Spit Gemz – Build Destroy Build 2 (Video)

Spit Gemz put some great visuals together for his video Build Destroy Build 2. Musically this song has been a smash with Gemz super sharp wordplay and Nickel Plated hard hitting production, but these visuals add another dimension. This is AI applied brilliantly with so many interesting things to set your eyes on. And to see Gemz smash a Baphomet at the bar is icing on the cake. One of the best videos this year. Song itself can be found on the Knifework EP which you will have to contact Gemz for as it was sold direct from artist.

Single You Out: Massiah Kane – 27:17 (ft. RJ Payne & IAMPROFIT) (prod. by THVNOS)

Here is a new banger from Massiah Kaine and friends over a heater from THVNOS. On 27:17, Kaine shares the mic with long time collaborator, IAMPROFIT, and certified mic assassin, RJ Payne. This joint has all the trappings hip hop heads love and crave, lethal pens and haunting rhythms.

Peep Kaine’s pen…

I’m not at all what my options said / Locked the dead / If I have bet I don’t want a whole lot of bread / If it’s not a check, I ain’t getting out of bed.

Single You Out: Lord Juco & Jamal Gasol – Das Ruger

Lord Juco and Jamal Gasol reunite for a new EP called Casino Niagra, and hearing the two share mic duties makes me think of the Big Turk days. The two sounded great together back then and do so here now. The single Das Ruger has been out for a few weeks but I think it’s the best track off of the project so to highlight a piece and the whole I am sharing it. The production is subtle, yet ‘hypnotic’ as the emcees drop a pair of tight sixteens.

Single You Out: Little Vic – Miles And Miles (ft. Apathy)

Two elite lyricists in Little Vic and Apathy join forces for the new single, Miles and Miles. Vic laces the laid back canvas that is lead by the strings but contains subtleties of depth in sound, with a unique vocal sample incorporated in the chorus. Both emcees drop stellar verse but I love how Vic incorporates historical wittiness in his verse and punches…I mean who else is going to hit you with a “lose your head like Robespierre” line…nobody.

Single You Out: Ren Thomas & Damon Flores – How To Rob “26

Ren Thomas is back! Excited for that fact alone as I think he is one of the most exceptional emcees we have bar for bar. He has linked up with producer Damon Flores for a project dropping on October 30th entitled, The Humble Narcissist. And on the lead single, How To Rob “26, you can hear the humor, bar work, and skill as no white rappers were made safe on this track haha. If your name was mentioned you should probably be honored. The collaboration of producer and emcee sounds really good thus far and really looking forward to the project!

Daniel Son x Asun Eastwood x Futurewave – Catch A Limit (Video)

This joint is just filthy. And as a wise man once said…”What you fucking thought it was?” Daniel Son, Asun Eastwood, and Futurewave connect for their new project, Nom De Guerre which is available exclusively and Lutely. We will get to that in a second. It’s been about 8 years since they released Physics Of Filth which turned the musical world on it’s axis with top joints like Snake Oil. I copped the new one IMMEDIATELY when I saw it hit and let me tell you this…the second project maybe even better than the first. So many great joints on the album, and Catch A Limit is one of them. It’s not only the talent but it’s the energy these three bring…you feel it in the music.

Make sure you pick this up on Lutely. Spread the word!
