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!
Single You Out: King Magnetic & Bucky Luger – Buckwild & Foul
“Dominique Wilkins…I brought the old Hawk…” King Magnetic is back with a bang rocking over a sinister banger from Bucky Luger. Magnetic always delivers sixteens with a toughness, but over this beat from Luger it sounds even more nasty. There’s a lot to love on this track. The beat, the rhymes, and those samples make this one a “don’t miss”.
Single You Out: B.a Badd – K2 (prod by Revenxnt)
In an effort for complete transparency I was sitting on this project from B.a Badd for too long. I purchased is several weeks ago but I never added it into the rotation until this weekend. I am glad I finally saw the light to take a trip into the dark. Revenxnt produces the entirety of the album, The sun will set, and laces simplicity with the ominous, as if the streets were being set to the light of a blood moon. You can hear that mood in the track I selected to share, k2, in which the piano is the vehicle in which Badd takes us on the perspective of trust no one but his own initiative and mind set.
Don’t sleep on this work of art!
Single You Out: Skanks The Rap Martyr – Industry Plants
Skanks The Rap Martyr just released a new project exclusive to his bandcamp, New Word Order 2. One of the most consummate emcees in the game in my opinion, Skanks delivers not just average word play, but meaningful bars. Over the years he has hit me with several “oh wow” moments and he doesn’t fail to do that here either. On Industry Plants, over a Greezi Amiin banger, Skanks details how the industry cultivated an image and motion, and how he connects that with today’s politics. It’s short but really dope. Pay attention.
Single You Out: Awon x Confidence x J Ferrera – Pieces of my Soul
The team comprised of Awon, Confidence, and J Ferra just released the project, The Process, which I copped, listened to, and celebrated this weekend. And now it is time to bring that celebration to you! The album is chocked full of dopeness. There is lightheartedness, depth, insight, lyricism, and a musicalitythat really is unlike anything I have heard in 2026. You can hear all of this in the track I am choosing to share, Pieces of my Soul. First I really love the production from Confidence. If I was to call this a ‘beat’ I would be doing it a grave injustice. This is composition. And Awon breathes added life into this by pouring that artistic soul over the track.
Milano Constantine – Wild Kingdom (Video)
One of the most underrated emcees in the game unleashes another salvo of music for the masses with the video single, Wild Kingdom. Constantine has a sharp yet smooth delivery. He sounds effortless on the mic but those bars have a bite. His new project, Restricted Area is due out sometime this winter, so be on the lookout for that. Meanwhile, grab your mask, secure, and enjoy this dope track which is also produced by the man himself!
Fresh Daily & Mon$rock – Rhythm and Pulse (Video)
Fresh Daily and producer Mon$rock linked up for a new album, As You Were, which just dropped a couple of day ago. And if you like jazzy melodic hip hop, this is going to be right up your alley. Fresh Daily illuminates spirit and energy in rhyme over an ethereal production from Mon$roc on the single, Rhythm and Pulse. Sometime the energy you produce expands belief into something real. Case in point.
Daniel Son x Asun Eastwood x Futurewave – Dejounte Murray (Video)
Dejounte Murray is the first video single, and I am sure the tip of the iceberg, from longtime collaborators, Daniel Son, Asun Eastwood, and Futurewave. They’ve made ALOT of music in this past decade but this is their first official release as a group since, Physics Of Filth dropped in 2018. Exciting. The chemistry between the three is easy to see and their run of making great music only continues.
