NBS releasing a video single from their album, The Dispensary, which I believe to be their best work to date. That album is the complete package. There are some big beats and nasty flows. All Falls Down is actually my favorite cut from the album. It’a just a tough track. If you can appreciate this joint, undoubtedly you will enjoy the album. Please make sure you cop.
Single You Out: Rediculous – Iron Fist (ft. Blaq Poet)
This song hits like, well, and Iron Fist! Rediculous really shows his chops on this beat. He’s got an ill bass line and some neck-snapping drums as well as some excellent chopping of the samples. And what about Blaq Poet you say? When have you ever hear Blaq Poet come remotely weak or soft? When this man touches mic he’ going for the jugular. This is that banger you have been looking for.
Single You Out: Skeezo – The Mission
Skeezo ain’t done yet with 2013…not by a long shot. After releasing one of the dopest EPs of 2013, Face Value, he delivers yet another banger. He’s definitely showing without a doubt that his passion for making music is back in full effect. Crazy DJ Bazarro composes a laid back and jazzy track that enables Skeezo to continue on with The Mission. However, the mission is just a small sampling of his upcoming project Stuck In The 90s.
Single You Out: ethemadassassin – 80’s & 90’s (prod. by SciFi Stu)
ethemadassassin and SciFi Stu link up again for what could be considered a “smooth banger”. SciFi Stu touches the keys for a mellow and airy track but ethemadassassin gives the joint some contrast with his tough baritone bravado recapping the era when he came up. This song is a prelude to ethemadassassin’s album, Soul On Fire, which drops on September 17th.
Freestyle Fam – By Your Side (Video)
Freestyle Fam has burst onto the scene in 2013 with some fire. The songs they are crafting, sound incredible. This time each member of the fam gets a little personal on this joint dropping verse that pertain to some sort of hardship in their life. What I like about this team is that you can feel their hunger and their angst. They are able to draw the listener in with their bars. That’s powerful stuff when an artist can make a song meaningful. Make sure you check out their mixtape, Unleashed when you have a sec. It’s a dope listen.
MidaZ The Beast – Champion Of The Block (Video)
I just gave a thorough listen to MidaZ’s new album, AU: Another Universe, and it’s a contender folks. The album has a lot of bangers but also a lot of substance for you to sink your ears into. It’s out now and I think you should cop it early to show your support. As for this song, we have IMAKEMADBEATS on the production side of things and MidaZ essentially doing a press conference on what his music is going to be like. It’s almost like a synopsis of this album. I’ll let him tell it:
…Instead I’ll put out an album that’s really strong / Cater to the few and tell the many to suck my Jimmy Long….
OnlyOne – Cult Classic 2 (2013)
Artist: OnlyOne
Album: Cult Classic 2
Tracklisting:
Note:
No. I haven’t listened to it all yet. I just saw it was available and immediately wanted to share it with you. The three singles that were released earlier and OnlyOne’s previous works alone merit that you download this FREE release. So stop hemming and hawing and get this one on are your hard drive immediately. I will do a more proper write up later, but for now just enjoy the music.
Skanks – In My Mind (ft. El Gee) (Prod Kyo Itachi) (Video)
Is it possible that I didn’t see this before? Maybe it was the name Skanks that through me off and I didn’t even check it, but this time I notice that it’s the French beatsmith, Kyo Itachi doing the production. Those credentials will get you noticed around these parts. I am a huge Itachi fan. It also turns out that Skanks has some skills. He’s repping that true New York flavor that so many of his contemporaries have abandoned. He is getting set to drop his new album entitled, The Shinigami Flowfessional soon, so if you dug this video, check for his sounds.
Theo3 – In A Heartbeat (Video)
Theo3 is a bad man on the microphone. He undeniably bodies this track. No survivors. He unloads bar after bar with great wordplay and metaphors, with one poignant stroke of genius that alludes to the 1980s comedy, Cheers. Lets see how many of you youngins pick up on that! There are a lot of great quotables on this song, and I for one can not wait to hear his EP, Enticement, dropping sometime this week.
Single You Out: Local-MU12 – Champion (ft. Skyzoo)
Locl-MU12 once again drops a gem on us with the release of the single, Champion, featuring Skyzoo. Real McKoy laces a proper beat for Stryfe, Broadway Barrett, and Skyzoo to rock over. Everything sounds really good about this joint. That is a great indicator, because the collective is dropping it’s debut album, Labor Day on September 3rd.
