The title of King Ra and Bunty Beats’ album, Back To The Essence, really puts this track into perspective. The Jersey emcee and British producer reclaim that vintage hip hop sound with tracks like these and others that abound on the full length project. They put the ‘skinny jean culture’ and the ‘hipster movement’ on blast by taking yesterday’s boom-bap and giving it a fresh twist. Giving you the authentic…No Copy.
Make sure you check and cop the project if you are liking what you hear!
NSD’s, Rhythm Writers link up yet again with DJ Bless/Sutter Kain to create another win in terms of their latest single, Line In The Sand. The Duo of Mr. Crowley and Awax seem extremely focused on their rhyme skills and ability to make music over an almost, melancholy production from DJ Bless.
Every single I have heard from these guys has been dope, so I hope there is a project coming down the pipe.
Cayoz maintains his streak of dropping meaning full bars that we showcase on HHD. This is just smart hip hop music as Cayoz and D2A buck the trend of being labelled a ‘Lost Generation’ over some sublime production from O*Zee.
I am still however waiting for his EP to drop. Ahem.
This track is tangible truth that the art of story telling is not dead in hip hop. Ren Thomas narrates a pretty intricate detail of a woman who is trying to get out of a bad situation. Some pretty amazing visuals are depicted through Thomas’ bars and I encourage you to check them out. I guess this song is actually circa mid 2014 but I just caught wind of it on the bandcamp site.
This song comes off of Ren Thomas’ project, Who The Fuck Is Ren Thomas?
I didn’t even realize Tona had dropped and album. I guess that shows where my head has been at lately. Show Me Some Love is actually the iTunes bonus track to Carpe Diem. I don’t see it on the Amazon edition. It’s a dope track that just seems to keep the momentum rolling when it comes to Tona’s success. Production from Rich Kidd.
M-Dot, Maylay Sparks, and Skyzoo link up (albeit all the way back in 2012) to pay homage to the hip hop elements and the first hip hop movie ever made over a vintage sound from French producer Nikkel K. It’s very smooth and cohesive as the emcee’s flows really work well with each other.
The homie Big O put me on to this track he produced for an artist named, Challace. The track puts the industry and it’s rumor mill on blast over a banger produced by our friend. It’s definitely music that will keep your interest piqued for the duration. If I get the opportunity I am going to be sure to listen to the mixtape.
OnlyOne channels his inner Brit over some primo Chase Moore production.
I keep on re-listening to this project from J-Scriptz from 2014. It’s such a dope project and deserves the utmost attention so here is another favorite track from his Transition EP. Simply listen to the personally woven intricacies in the song. Please make sure you check out and cop the project, not as a favor to me, but for hip hop.
