Single You Out: Armageddon – Nightmares (Shawneci)

“1000 spiders,voodoo chants, choppers, and Salvador Dali on a Molly”….What do any of these seemingly randon things have to do with eachother. Nothing really, but Terror Squad Alumni Armageddon has married these oddities together to create something diabolical for the fans. Geddy releases his latest track, ‘Nightmares’.

The song threatens to take you into the deepest recesses of Geddy’s mind to explore his brooding perception of today’s Hip Hop that will leave you there with foreboding visages of blood stained pavements and things that lurk in the shadows. The eerie production from Shawneci serves as a guide through those dark passage ways we seldom want to wander while our emcee litters the track with sinister but truly exceptional wordplay.”

Single You Out: Es-K – Reminisce (ft. MC Dialect, Charmingly Ghetto, M-Dot, & S.Dub) (Chromadadata Remix)

A lot of dope smooth joints have released in the last week or so.   This one was forwarded by the EMS crew and after a long delay, I wanted to share it with you.  There’s a lot of introspective bars in this joint while the production instructs you to lean back and maybe reminisce about someone you once lost or a time gone past.  We all do that from time to time so make sure you take this track as an opportunity.

If you are really feeling this joint and want to check out more, Es-K just dropped his album, Serenity.

The 17th – Hold My Own (ft. Livin Proof, Cortez, and Gwalla Gang) (Video)

These are the kind of joints that make the universe just right.   The 17th is an elite emcee.   His wordplay is just extraordinary.   But things get a little grimier on deck when homies Livin Proof and Cortez jump on the track.    These barbarian bars are liable to leave a wake of destruction in their path.

Inside Jokes With Complete Strangers should be front in center on your radar when it drops later this summer.

Note:

Again, not a full review, just an awareness post.  I don’t know how it happened, but Skeezo linked up with one hell of a producer to remix his Stuck In Da 90s project from last year.  Rediculous lives up to his moniker when it comes to the beats he utilized for this project.  In all honesty, I am loving this entire thing from front to back.  The original is dope, but the remixed version is next level.  Skeezo’s vocals sound perfect over this reworking.  It’s a free download, so make sure you head on over  to the link above and download from DJ Booth.  This will be essential for 2014.

13. Wings of a Seagull (Instrumental)

Note:

This is not a review of any sort.  This is just ‘us’ letting ‘you’ know that this available now.  Bagwell is a favorite and a mainstay on HHD and it’s only fitting for me to encourage you to go pick this up.  90% of the music coming out these days, you have heard before.  There’s a lot of the same old cafeteria cooking going on in the lab these days.  But when something unique comes out, we’ve got to support.  Bagwell is among a very minute population of artists who consistently gives us quality of a different ilk and always makes it fresh for the fans.   So make sure you cop from the Bandcamp page now and check back here later, when I will have more time to do an official review!

Single You Out: Benjamin Miles – Wolves & Sheep (ft. Britney Stoney)

a0601739151_10

 

I featured Benjamin Miles a couple of years when he and his compadres dropped an album called Bottles & Bones under the group name Of Mice and Musicians.  I love that album and to this day I play it occasionally (even though I always have a ton of music to listen to).  Now he’s back with a new album entitled, The Wishing Tree.  Miles’ is really a peoples’ emcee.  He focuses on real world issues and problems and doesn’t get caught in the phony bravado that prevails in hip hop these days.   I chose to feature Wolves & Sheep because that’s a track the relates to us all.  We all have to keep a close eye on those around us and sometimes we have to guess if they are are there to help or harm.   It doesn’t hurt that the production is top notch.

Blueprint – Perspective (Video)

Blueprint is an extremely well-informed and talented emcee.   This is a great track that gives you insight into other things that are going on in the world that may make you own circumstances pale in comparison.  He’s not trying to diminish feelings, but merely give you you, well,…perspective.   The track is soulful, meaningful, and enlightening.

Check out his album, Respect The Architect.
