I love the artwork on here. The whole “bizarro world” Sesame Street is perfect for the banger the Heddshotts crew have laced for us. These guys define gutter. The droning horns and pounding drums compliment the scathing flows appropriately, wouldn’t you say?
Alright, Deadstock Revival has a release date! It’s dropping on June 4th which is just under a month away. I can’t wait for that. We have heard one strong cut after another and this is no exception. Be on the lookout for Shaz Illyork…
Some visual treatment given to this track off of Sgt. Over’s Precious Jewels album. It’s hard to compete with a flow like this. The breath control on this track is really impressive along with the overall lyricism. If you enjoy this cut, make sure you check out his album.. Meanwhile, we will keep repping DPSMG until you do!
Brooklyn resident, and Boston native, DJ Skizz is set to release his highly anticipated debut producer album,B.Q.E. (Brooklyn-Queens Experience) on 6-23-2013. This track is a video single for that same project and as you can hear from this joint, it’s that grimy and gritty hip hop that we all love and appreciate. I especially love to see Big Noyd on a track again. I have always enjoyed that flow and it’s like son hasn’t aged a bit since the late 90s! I am definitely looking forward to this project.
This cut is coming off of Tha Soloist vs. Trilian: Original Script album. That album is really thirteen tracks of straight dopeness. On this joint you have our World View (album dropping in 2017. Cheapshot, I know) compatriot Awkword. This track has a definite “old school” vibe to it as both the producer and the emcees throw it back a bit. I also want to mention that Trilian (out of Serbia) has been cranking out some bangers this year. He has another album with this artist, Rated R, that has superlative production. Definitely stay connected to what this young man is doing.
It’s been 3 years since Revalation (of EMS) brought you a solo project. He’s been doing numerous features for side projects and his crew that has kept him busy. But now he finally brings you his 1st single, Here We Go, featuring veteran Ohio emcee, Dominique Larue, and produced by Pittsburgh’s Shade Cobain. This track is taken from Revalation’s upcoming mixtape Feature Presentation due out this summer….
I have been a fan of Taiyamo Denku but obviously I was sleeping when this video dropped. I love the beat on this joint. The keys are being hit hard by Grime Lab. Denku’s flow is a little on the maniacal side on this joint. It has a “rubber room” feel. This is the first single from his forthcoming album, RADIOOCTAVE.
Endemic is a producer out of the UK who has made some noise before with his initial offering of Terminal Illness. He has an ill sound and also a new project coming out soon. Quarantine is a mixtape he has dropping on May 27th and the line up looks pretty fresh to me. I mean look at the line up on this track! Any concerns? Didn’t think so.
Yes. Yes. PremRock dropping a video for Singapore off of his highly acclaimed album, Mark’s Wild Years. If you are a frequent visitor here, you will have heard me mention this album several times as one of the best last year. It’s an album that has a life of it’s own.
Today I am proud to bring you one of the most innovative talents in hip hop today, The 17th. I have been literally amazed with the concepts and quality of his music so it was only natural to ask him a few questions. As a member of the collective Local-MU12 his name is gaining more and more exposure, or notoriety, whichever you may prefer. Look for The 17th to become a household name in the homes of every hip hop head very soon. Enjoy The Interview!
