DJ Low Cut sends us a banger posse cut featuring Akin Yai, Seneca, and Soarse Spoken. The track has got the fire beat and features an assortment of braggadocio rhyme styles. I’m not sure what project this track is destined for but even as a stand alone it’s worth it’s weight in gold.
Single You Out: Estee Nack & Purpose (of Tragic Allies) – T.I.M.E.
This is an incredibly dope song from Estee Nack and Purpose from the soon-to-be-released album, 14 Forms: The Book Of Estee Nack. There is so much to love about this track. The production with the piano keys creates a somber soundscape for incredibly introspective lyricism about time and how it relates to our lives. The word weaving and knowledge dropping is certainly a few steps above the rest.
The album drops on June 23rd.
EMC – The Monologue (Video)
Here’s a dope track from EMC’s latest album, The Tonite Show. Remarkable things happen when you combine these lyrical talents with a Diamond D production. The video was filmed in Brazil and the album can be found in stores now. Get on that.
Jedi Mind Tricks – Deathless Light (Video)
The original Jedi Mind Tricks team is back at it again with Stoupe and Vinnie Paz reuniting for their forthcoming album, The Thief and the Fallen. Deathless Light finds the two once again in perfect step crafting some dark and devious imagery.
The new album will hit shelves on June 2nd. Mark it on the calendar.
M-Dot – Today (ft. EMS) (Video)
The EMS crew unites for this video from M-Dot’s latest project, Jake LaDotta. Today is may favorite cut off of the project. It’s a masterpiece of a posse cut. From the production to varying lyrical skills, this joint will have you nodding your head in rhythm with a smile on your face!
William Cooper – Ultimate Spit (ft. Young Zee) (prod. by BP)
William Cooper drops some visuals from his forthcoming album, God’s Will. He’s got some divergent styles cooking on this track with Young Zee’s abrupt flows mixed with his own more fluid delivery. We are anxiously awaiting for his album to hit shelves on May 5th. Make sure you check that.
Single You Out: Coast – I Ain’t Great (ft.Taboo & Skrewtape)
Out of all the new artists I featured around last year, Coast may be my favorite. His album, March First, was full of non stop bangers that still receives a lot of rotation here. Now we have a new cut and the announcement of a new project, #Withoutpapers, which has a ‘coming soon’ tag. I will promote this artist to the fullest as a shining light in a most stale musical world. He brings a lot of energy and skill to the mic. As an extra bonus, another artist making his name felt, Skrewtape, along with Taboo, join him on this track. Stay tuned for more.

Single You Out: Adlib – Destro (ft. Ill Bill) (prod. by Rob The Viking)
Adlib has linked up with Rob The Viking of Swollen Members for his new album, Teenagers From Marz. Adlib has been making great music for years so don’t let this song surprise you. But linking up with Rob The Viking for production definitely should make hay in getting his name buzzing even more. Adlib always has an upfront, no holds bared style, that falls front in center regardless of the production. It’s time people start taking notice. Oh not to be lost on you, this track features Ill Bill.
Single You Out: Eff Yoo – Lust In Eden (ft. Spit Gemz and Carmen Indhira)
This is my favorite cut off of Eff Yoo’s Papa Dios album. I love the ‘Forbidden Fruit’ vibe from the name of the song to the content therein. The instrumentation is dope and of course you’ve got Spit Gemz rocking the mic with Eff Yoo. Also one of the blessings of the songs is I get to hear Carmen Indhira albeit all so subtly.
Check the album if you have not already.
Jelani Lateef – The Lyrical (Video)
It’s time to buck a few trends and Jelani Lateef may very well be an artist capable of doing just that. Are you tired of verses dedicated to money, drugs, and hoes? Lateef has the cure for what ails you. It’s all about lyrical content and concepts when it comes to this choice cut. This is my first time hearing from Lateef and I also heard a little bit of his album, Cold Days and Dark Nights. is music is very consistent….meaning consistently good. I am definitely going to listen to the album in full when it drops on April 30th. He’s a breath of fresh air.
