Jay Royale seemingly only makes heat rocks. He had that one joint with Kool G Rap earlier this year that was total flames, and then this joint, The Wise & Lakid, he’s got Havoc dropping some heavy bars. And this production from Ray Sosa very much has a 1990s Mobb Deep flavor. And the pen game proves razor sharp on both ends of these sixteens.
Ty Farris – Pain For Ya Vein (Video)
Ty Farris is back with the video single for the title track to his new project, Pain For Ya Vein. And if you don’t know by now Farris has bars for days. This song is relentless in his abilities, and shows why he’s one of the most sought after features in the last few years. Definitely cop the new project along with his discog. Ill without fail.
They used to laugh when I was loungin in last but I outworked them and I polished my craft now these rappers talking about a collab
SoulRocca – Toil (ft. M-Dot) (Video)
M-Dot and company fired this video single off to me, and it’s super fresh. German production team, SoulRocca, provide and excellent and energetic backdrop for one of our favorites to sink his teeth into. I say this all the time, but the track Toil again hits this note for which M-Dot is famous. It’s that hard work infused with talent that sets him apart bar by bar from others. Love this joint.
And you can hear more from SoulRocca off their new album, In Good Company. A lot of dope features on there and you can hear the talent from behind the boards.
COMET & SWAB – Foreign Wasteland (Video)
New video single from Comet and Swab’s collaborative project, Authentic Kloth. Foreign Wasteland brings a soulful realism in that boom bap fashion. Swab’s vocal sample is pretty special on this joint, while Comet breaks down the land of good and evil bar by bar.
Single You Out: Terror Van Poo x Vinny Idol – 12 Shots (ft. Leanah Cane)
Terror Van Pooh and Vinny Idol are back at it again, but really did they ever slow down? Emcee, Leanah Cane, also drops a quick sixteen over this frenetically paced production. The production actually gives the sense that verbal shots are being fired from all angles. Another dope track continues a track record where that has just become the expectation.
Jern Eye – The Emperor (Video)
Jern Eye shares his spiritual experiences with us on his new video single, The Emperor, which is off of his latest project, Rose Croix. It’s definitely got a ‘medicine man’ kind of vibe, and with the foggy backdrop you feel the mysticism collide with lyricism and the visual. Really well done.
Q-Unique – Torch Them All (Video)
Q-Unique proves that he can do it all with his new track, Torch Them All. He produced something special with that sitar , along with writing some verses that induce a scorched earth policy.
Che Uno – Chariots (ft. New Villain) (Video)
Here’s an ominous heatrock from Che Uno, and his recently released project. FUEGONHIGH. King Bondalero concocts a beat that just sounds grimy and dark. The bassline just says you should turn off the lights when listening to this joint. And the contrasting styles of New Villain and Che Uno play really well off of each otther for this song, Chariots.
Single You Out: Rah Scrilla – Hustla (ft. Daniel Son)
Rah Scrilla links up with emcee’s emcee, Daniel Son, for his Profound79 produced single, Hustla. And this joint is glorious. The classical sample proves a powerful backdrop for this hustler’s anthem. Dope song.
Johaz x Nottz – Slay (ft. HookMaster Jaz) (Video)
People are not talking enough about this Johaz and Nottz collaboration that dropped a few weeks ago entitled, The Haz Orphanage. This track is bananas and Nottz continues to etch his name in hip hop lore as one of the top producers period. I love the samples and sound he builds here and Johaz delivers a lyrically energetic and impressive performance.
