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.
New one from Nomad Carlos off of his forthcoming album, The Nomad Carlos Project. The production from Sosa is smooth and lyrically, bars from Carlos and affiliate Inztinkz, remains sharp. Keep checking back around the Dependency for more music from Jamaica’s best hip hop artists!
Where They At is the Onyx featured track on N.B.S.’ new album, SwissVets2. This is a great natural pairing as both groups have a raw flavor about them. I copped the album on the strength of the duos strong discography but have yet to hear it in it’s entirety.
This track is subtle when it comes to the production but all ruggedness when it comes to these bars! Fury!
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.
Tenacity and D.R.U.G.S. Beats collaborated on the recently release album, Discussions. This particular piece of fire, Twin Dracos, features the accomplished J57 and is my personal favorite track from the album. The appeal is undeniable to hip hop heads everywhere.
Who is hotter than Benny right now? If you can name him, then I am listening. He just has the “it”. Flow with realism on lock plus a good ear for beats makes him one of the top artists in the game right now.
This short but dope track is the solo joint from the collaborative project with 38 Spesh, entitled Stabbed & Shot. The production is handled by Chup The Producer. I highly recommend.
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!
“…fascinated with catching these bodies like necrophilia…”
Del is linking up with Zion I’s, Amp Live for a new collaborative album dropping on April 20th, entitled Gate 13. As separate artists, these gents have pioneered a whole sound as part of the Hiero and Zion I collectives respectively. What you hear in this song is not your standard fair, as the duo continue to push the hip hop envelope.
Another video single from producer Rawmatik’s album, The States vs. Rawmatik. You’ve got a couple of dope emcees in Merkules and U.G., riding a beat where Rawmatik sounds like he is rocking some Phantom Of The Opera type shit, and I am definitely good with that. Madchild takes care of the chorus.
Be sure to check out the album!
Here’s some hotness from emcee, Spittzwell. Everything I have heard from him as an artist has been definitely remarkable and memorable. Style Wars, featuring Jarren Benton, has everything I love about a track. The production (self-produced) has those neck snapping drums and the lyricism/flows are more than just solid, they are exceptional
You can find this cut off of Spittzwell’s new project. Luke P.
