Meyhem Lauren drops this video for Drug Lord, from Respect The Fly Shit. The song features guest bars from AG Da Coroner and Action Bronson. Production is done by none other that Harry Fraud. The video is extremely creative. I don’t think I’ve seen anything like it in terms of a music video.
Quadir Lateef – Fool’s Gold (2013)
Artist: Quadir Lateef
Album: Fool’s Gold
Tracklisting:
Note:
I can’t go any longer without talking about this album. Quadir Lateef’s, Fools Gold, is an indictment of all that is going on in the hip hop culture. He is fierce and fearless when making his observations. Everything from the songs to the skits has a purpose, and that’s to put this hip hop culture on blast. As a Muslim, Lateef, has a problem with his surroundings and instead of sitting idly by and giving the perpetrators a pass, he vehemently goes after these individuals within the confines of this music.
Single You Out: R-Swift – Problem
It’s funny that his single is premiering on HHD the same day as post the Quadir Lateef review for Fool’s Gold. R-Swift is reiterating the same sentiments as Lateef in many ways. He too recognizes the ills of the record industry and the type of image they are trying to promote. Really relevant material. If you are diggin this track, he has an album that was recently released entitled, Apply Pressure.
…we almost lose our life to the ignorance we promote…
Wildelux – The C-Syndrome (Video)
Dope lyricism. One of the best recent demonstrations of that ‘Alphabet Control’ in a song. Wildelux is not just tossing the “C” words out of context either just for the sake of doing. Everything remains in context. Very well written and produced as well. This video reminds me that I have to check his album, Grand Champion. Definitely need to cop that.
Single You Out: Peter Leo x DJ Concept – Liquor Store
Sometimes our survival has it’s vices and Peter Leo is here to address them with the DJ Concept produced track, Liquor Store. Leo strikes me as a young artist whose life has run the gamut . He’s seen and done some things, and he’s not afraid to discuss them with us as a listener. On September 10th, we are going to get to hear what his story has to offer us in the form of Young Baby Father.
Tug McRaw – Surrender (Video)
Tug McRaw recently dropped this video single from his most recent project, Language Arts Vol. 3. McRaw invites people into his home for the video, only so they can wave the white flag of appreciation for his musical capabilities. He is one of those artists that everyone should know about. So study up and go through his discography. He has a bunch of ill projects already to his credit and some new material in the works that I can’t wait to hear.
Skrewtape – Backyard Boogaloo (ft. MiilkBone) (Video)
I don’t need to be sold on that Skrewtape sound. I am already a fan. One thing I have noticed is that every beat I have head him on has knocked. He has a keen ear for that dope production. This time rocks this rhythm with Miilkbone who I keep seeing doing work as of late. It’s a dope track. If you are interested in copping the album, Skumbag Millionaires, you can contact him via Twitter. It was $12 for a special digital download and a physical copy of the CD, and while I have not been able to give the entire project a listen, rest assured every track I have heard thus far is of this caliber.
Single You Out: Peter Leo – See The Judge (prod. by PL) Original Version
Peter Leo recently dropped his Little Lion Mixtape which is incredibly fresh but this track is his first after being released from his incarceration in 2008. It’s a throwback but you can here the powerful energy and the angst that resonates through the joint which is also self-produced.
Single You Out: Macabeats – The 6th Sense (ft. Slum Pritt x Mitch L Hennessy x Dj Grazzhoppa) (prod. by Cool FD)
This is the kind of joint that can carry you through a weekend! Really dope production from Cool FD (formerlly Keno Beats) and chopping of the cut by DJ Grazzhoppa. All the emcees do an impressive job with their verses making this track very memorable. It has a little bit of everything but this beat is really going to stick with you for a hot minute.
J.R. The Beast – 32 Chambers (Video)
My first question after watching this video is how J.R. The Beast not more known? I mean, that is one COLD FLOW. He’s got a great delivery over this Araabmuzik banger of beat. Song is fire. I am going to be on the lookout for some more material from the man.
