Premrock once again smites convention with his latest Quelle Chris produced track, Lens. The rhythm has a jazz type vibe to it, with a lot of cymbal being featured instead of relying on the snare. It sounds much like, Premrock creates his own rhythm and cadence that the beat follows, instead of vice versa.
It’s just another example of what makes Premrock unique. His album, A Clean, Well-Lighted Place, will grace us on April 15th.
Starvin B does not rest! The man stays making that music. Producer One-Take utilizes the dusty horn to perfection over the kicks and snares. Starvin’ does his thing over the beat and has a great perspective to give to listeners when they are out there pursuing their dreams and goals. Don’t hate, just wall away and move on…
His new album hit bandcamp yesterday, so cop Blood From A Stone at the first available moment!
Brand new single released by DigiCrates Records, with HHD favorite Rozewood on the mic and all around favorite, Apollo Brown, on the production. The result is a smoothed out, introspective song, that will keep you captivated for nearly five minutes. Rozewood’s next mixtape, Radio Raheem is going to drop a little later this month.
AWAR is back to rocking mics and staying busy, this time hopping on a Vanderslice instrumental that was originally featured on the latters’ instrumental project, Oh My God EP. AWAR add some venom on the vocals and takes the listener to church over this gospel-esque production.
Be on the lookout for AWAR and Vanderslice’s new album, The Winning Team, slated to drop later this year.

Note:
This review for AWKWORD’s World View has been a long time coming. It’s a long time coming for two reasons: 1) AWKWORD has been working on his magnum opus for well over three years 2) I took another two months to digest the project in between other releases. But here we are at the moment of reckoning to determine what makes World View special, or if it’s indeed special at all.
This single only just came out last week but if the homie Cool FD wants to put his special twist to the cut, no one will complain. Dopeness!
You know when V-Zilla drops some new music because the ground starts to shake and ear drums go into a panic. This man knows nothing BUT dropping bangers! This time he has Lawrence Arnell and Skammadix lending hands.
This track is the preface to the forthcoming opus, Martyr Musick, which is due out in June!
Some pretty heavy Beantown representation going on in this track. This is my favorite track off of N.B.S.’ latest album, The Smokefest. It’s very munch an anthem, and even if you aren’t from Boston, you can’t help but get caught up in the vibe of the song.
This song is anything but chillin’. The Bankai Fam are some of the most ruthless wordsmiths in the game. These guys don’t, chill, they are taking heads at every opportunity so don’t be fooled. If you love the rough n’ rugged, then you are going to love Bankai Fam. Azaia is on the boards delivering the realness!
Their EP, On My Side, is out now!
Canada flexes it’s proverbial muscle when Theo 3, Adam Bomb, and Korry Deez step into the booth for their new track, Significant. The three artists reach deep impact over a horn laden Lancecape production. No word if this is part of a bigger project.
