Friday Feature: Printz of Peepz – Lethally Artistic

PromoPic

This is the 2nd Installment of our Friday Feature series embracing the music of Printz Of Peepz. This time we bring you the cut Lethally Artistic from the album, P.o.P. Culture, which is produced by another artist we feature here whenever possible, Crafsmen.  The track has that dark Gotham back-alley vibe.   P.o.P. really exhibits a great flow and lyrical ability, particularly on that second verse.  Make sure you keep checking for him for the next two Fridays because we ain’t done yet!  Appreciate innovative minds and creative talent…

Single You Out: Jermiside & Danny Diggs – Victory Is Mine

cover

Jermiside drops the second single, Victory Is Mine, from his sophomore collaborative album with producer Danny Diggs, Quiet As Kept.  Jermiside is my favorite emcee from the talented Lessondary Crew (I probably said the same thing about Spec Boogie a year or so ago, but whatever.  It’s a tie).  He has a very smooth style that is only amplified with the production of Danny Diggs.   This song in particular is inspiring.  You truly can’t keep a good man down.

Quiet As Kept will be released October 22nd

Natti (of CunninLynguists) – Architecture (ft. Sha Stimuli & Substantial) (Video)

I enjoy this song and Natti’s album,  Still Motion, alot.   Other than that, I am going to let the official press release take it away:

The second single from Natti’s ‘Still Motion’ gets a visual treatment. Watch as Natti, Sha Stimuli & Substantial reluctantly admire the drug game, the music industry and the institution of education. Three systems that, more often than not, prey on it’s participants and are specifically designed for them to fail.

Single You Out: Koncept – My Peace (prod. by Numonics)

koncept-my-peace

 

Is Numonics underrated?  Is he underappreciated?  Perhaps the answer is yes elsewhere but his sound is beloved in HHD’s neck of the woods.  And here he is producing the next Koncept project in it’s entirety. Nice.  This cut is off the rocker.  I love the sound, the vibe, and Koncept’s flow.  So write down the date: October 22nd.   That’s when the Numonics x Koncept collaborative EP, Live On drops.

Single You Out: MaLLy – Dead Art Painting

mally-strange-rhythm

MaLLy is a favorite of mine.  I find his sound very refreshing.  Perhaps this is even more refreshing as Last Word handles the production.  The vibe is a dark electronica that runs deep in sound.  A lot of layers going on here, but as a whole it allows MaLLy to showcase his turn of phrase and exceptional rhyme skills.   Strange Rhythm will hit the digital shelf on November 5th.

Quadir Lateef- MALCOM-HUEY-MUHAMMED-BIKO-JESUS-HAMPTON-GUEVARA-TUBMAN-GARVEY-TURNER-ASSATA-MANSA (Video)

Quadir Lateef lets loose a video off of his critically acclaimed project, Fool’s Gold.  The track of the title is lengthy and the words within inspire the potency of all those great revolutionaries mentioned.   It’s not too often that someone brings this much meaning and intent behind his words, but get used to it because that’s what Lateef is all about…meaning, intent, and action.

Friday Feature: Printz of Peepz (2013)

PopPic

This is one of those spur of the moment things that just felt right.  Printz of Peepz has been an active entity on my twitter line for the last month or two.  I simply thought he was a fellow blogger or a fan, but a couple of nights ago he put me onto a track that he created with fellow VA brethren, Crafsmen, called Lullaby.  I was impressed.  It made me seek out some other tunes from the man, and I liked what I heard.  He’s a young, talented artist who is trying to get his name and music heard and what better place to do that then on our long neglected Friday Feature column?

So for the next few Fridays you can expect to hear some music from P.o.P.  starting with that track, Lullaby.   Be sure to check him out on Twitter and Facebook and politic with a talented artist.

Single You Out: Koncept – Love Me (ft. Lollybone) (Prod. by Tranzformer)

Print

 

Just close your eyes and let Tranzformer’s piano keys and Lollybone’s soulful song just carry you away!   Oh wait a minute, let’s not forget Koncept’s bars, because he’s got bars.    This song is like 1920s flapper meets 1990s boom-bap.  A really nice break from the monotony by offering us a different sound entirely.  Koncept’s Live On EP, produced by Numonics, drops on October 22nd.
