Single You Out: DJ Zid – Frequently (ft. Awon and dkay)

a0927461673_10

I LOVE this EP from Switzerland’s DJ Zid, called Shadows.   It’s only a few tracks long but there is so much dopeness packed within.  Finding producers who can articulate that jazzy hip hop flavor are just a rare breed, and Zid just laid an impactful claim to that role.  I mean this EP is perfect.  It’s a 10 out of 10 in my opinion, but this cut featuring Awon is an absolute favorite.   Just a GREAT song from the production to the chorus.  I hope you enjoy as much as I do.

Interview Series: Taboo – Question 4

We are back to continue our video interview series with Taboo.  Here we are on question number four where Taboo goes in on the things that challenge him as an artist.   Enjoy, we are going to be completing this discourse  over the course of the next couple of weeks so enjoy.

Also enjoy this track from his Bookowski project!  We didn’t go into this particular project for the purposes of this interview but there is mad depth to be found there.

 

M-Dot – Ricochet (Video)

M-Dot jumps on the mic over this superior production from Whatson out of Germany.  The two have collaborated on a couple of occasions before and you can really see the mutual appreciation in the craft  they way emcee and producer go hand in hand.  DJ Access on the cutz pushing this song to the penultimate.  Other emcees are served an eviction notice for not paying their dues!

This song is coming off of Whatson’s forthcoming album which has yet to be named but we should all be checking for it!  More information will be passed when I know.

Single You Out: Ill Conscious – Capital Investements (ft. DJ Grazzhoppa)

Here’s a project and artist that needs to be mentioned in the form of Ill Conscious and his lates venture, The Prerequisite.  The flow on this track, Capital Investments, is nothing short of lyrical surgery on the track.  Conscious’ wordplay on this tracks sophisticate with lots of noteworthy lines.  Plus, DJ Grazzhoppa is on the cuts, and when he is involved on a track, you know his touches are going to put it over the top.

This is a standout cut not only from the project, but for the year thus far. Check it out!
