This is a single from Agallah’s new mixtape, Don Status. This is actually my first taste of music from the project and it’s making me think I should check the whole thing. The production from Organik Poisons has a really smooth sound with the cascading sample. The emcees each do their thing effectively, but Spit Gemz’ bars are the showstopper.
Single You Out: illmaculate – Stay Humble (prod. by Chase Moore)
Now illmaculate and Chase Moore are just showing off. This is just insane. Moore kills the boards with something that leans a little more melancholy while illmaculate resists the temptation of simply looking down on the competition. The music he makes does the talking needed. This is a major win for artist and listener alike. Nice Poe line in the opening stanza if you listen close.
Single You Out: Masstapeace – Sons Of Mephsito (prod. by C-Lance)
I have an old Masstapeace album that I haven’t listened to for years, but I don’t remember it sounding quite this good. I might have to check out the older stuff again, because their latest work has been pretty dope. This C-Lance production serves as the rubber room for the team’s chaotic styles.
Be on the lookout for their new album dropping soon.
Single You Out: John Jigg$ – War Games (prod. by DJ Supa Dave)
Damn. Jigg$ went in over this DJ Supa Dave beat and he’s letting loose a fury of hot bars. There are definitely some straight heat rocks featured on here. This cut serves as nice and memorable introduction to the latest Deep Concept Media signee.
Bangerville – Spit Real Game (ft. TRA) (prod. Big Sproxx) (Video)
Damn. Big Sproxx delivers a true banger with this new cut from Bangerville. This is just another gem that was luckily uncovered in the process of sorting through my inbox. The production and overall sound is a little reminiscent of Non-Phixion ala I Shot Reagan. which is meant as a big compliment.
If you are looking for some music that knocks then you may want to check out their free EP, Extended Forecast.
Single You Out: P.Seize – Casualties Of Life
We are a composite image of our life’s dealings, both the good and the bad. And while the bad times may be agonizing while they are occurring, they are critical to shaping our persona. Hence this new jawn I found in my inbox from P.Seize. This song is pretty damn good if you ask me. The beat is on point and the lyrics draw you into Seize’s world.
If you are diggin’ this song, you might want to check out his new album, A Series Of Unnoticed Events.
Single You Out: Snake Hollywood – Artisan (prod. Rod Da Blizz)
Snake Hollywood is back with a new joint produced by Rod Da Blizz. This joint has an incredible intensity about it. The staccato strings in the production accompanied by other subtleties of sound really give this an extremely well rounded sound. It’s very complex and rich. Snake Hollywood matches the rich texture of the instrumental with an equal dose of superlative lyricism giving this song’s moniker some meaning.
Snake Hollywood is at the top of his game so other emcees need to step the art game up!

Tug McRaw does not drop material all that often but when he does you had best take notice.

This guy has bars and all those intangibles. When McRaw hits the mic, you know him by the voice, it’s that distinctive. There really are no skippable tracks on this release (as in previous releases as well) so enjoy.
Nutso – Block Boy (Video)
Fan favorite, Nutso, is back with a new video single for his forthcoming EP, Divided Soul, which is dropping tomorrow. Those familiar with Nutso (and you should be if you have followed this site at all) knows that he always keeps it authentic and true to the boom bap style. So watch him fire up the burners and put in that work!

Note:
While it’s been almost eight years since Vic has dropped an official album, he has turned out a mixtape or two during that time span and still remains sharp with precise lyrical wit that keeps the listener’s brain cells moving. Loosies Collection Part 1 is just that…an assortment of songs that Vic has done in the past couple of years assembled in one mixtape and blended together by none other than DJ Mickey Knox.
And while I hope that eventually we will get something official in the way of an album from Vic, I am content to hear some new joints not heard before and excited to share them with you.
