Uncle Sam retains a special place at Hip Hop Dependency. He’s an artist that we started featuring close to our inception, and we have been able to witness the evolution of an artist over the course of his career. His collaboration with producer, Evill Dewer, shows an increased depth of sound. His flow on this track, Sleepwalking, is fused perfectly with the enchanting production from Dewer.
Check their EP, Disconnection, for a greater sampling of the sound they have created.
Soul Khan is back in force with the backing of the Audible Doctor to bring you that BBAS flavor. The doctor lays a super soulful foundation for Soul Khan to build bar upon bar. Even though his music has been more sporadic over the course of the last couple of years, it is no less potent.
So far, Blak Flag is impervious to even the average flow. EVERYTHING this emcee has dropped has been perfection. This spit is just plain fire (ironic, I know) He’s got insane flows…for instance, check his Styles P line towards the end of the second verse. And don’t get me started with this beat from Sherm Larock…this joint is beyond solid and I NEED an album….SOON.
You want to know what the best EP of the year is thus far? Look no further than the project, Bold, from Blame One, Harry Apollo, and JonJ, also known as Big Block Silvers. This is some of the most beautiful hip hop I have heard as of late. There are six tracks, all of which are incredibly impressive. You can hear the amalgamation of dope on this track, Crime in the City, where boom bap, sound, and lyricism collide. You can not help but be impressed here. Cop this project. It is worth every penny.
It’s been a minute since I have hard some new from Kaimbr, and whenever I do hear something, it’s always impressive. He actually crafted one of my favorite releases of all time, The Alexander Green Project. When he and Kev Brown get together, magic just seems to happen. This soulful joint is lifted off the forthcoming project, Share The Shelter.
Some new, new from producer Clypto’s (I am presuming since I can not find it yet) forthcoming project, #TheLoop. This is some rough stuff right here. The production is pretty straightforward, allowing emcees Supreme Cerebral, Born Unique, and Banish Habitual leave a wake of carnage on the track.
When I get more information on the project, I will let you know.
I am really loving this cascading beat from producer, Sharp Grizwold. It has kind of a “beach” vibe that melds perfectly with the boom bap flavor that G.S. Advance is putting to record. Really dope material that his hopefully a precursor to more when his EP, Absinthe, drops.
This is some hard material off of Born Unique and Lucky Loopiano’s album, The Red Devil Chronicles. Just like this cut, the album is chocked full of raw rhymes, banging beats, and precise cuts. Unique and Loopiano really put together a sensational album, and you def need to check it.
Oh you want a banger! I got your banger right here with the new single, High Quota, from GQ Nothin Pretty featuring Tragedy Khadafi. The beat from DJ Tray is one of the heaviest yet in 2017. And the bars…oh these bars are like a musical massacre in the headphones.
If the rest of the new album, Animations, is remotely close to the quality of this track, we are in for a treat.
This song from Pearl Gates & Syll is dope, which also can be said for their entire EP, Play This. I really enjoy this project. There is Camp Lo type quality to these guys. It’s simply bringing the ‘cool’ back to music.
