Frank Ramz – Icons (Prod. Charlie Hilton) (Video)

The clothes, and the hoes, and the bottles, and etcetera / Society got muthaphuckas afraid to be regular…

Frank Ramz drops one of the most poignant tracks in the last couple of years.  I can’t deny it.  This song is impeccable as is the video.  I mean the imagery, though simple, is perfect to impart the message.  Ramz in the noose is something you won’t soon forget.

His new EP, Medicine Filled Candy will be available soon.  If you are looking to hear more from him, you can check out my previous review for his album, Quite Frankly.

Single You Out: The Returners – What’s Going On (ft. Torae x Ruste Juxx)

Poland’s favorite sons are making new music and I have to say it’s knocking hard.   This production might put a crimp in your neck you’ll be nodding so hard.  And what do you do with a hard beat?  You put too of the rawest spitters available to spit heavy bars and that’s exactly what Torae and Ruste Juxx do.  Body the beat…

I have looked for some information on an album from The Returners and have come up with goose egg.  If someone knows about a project they have in store, can you let a brother know?  Appreciated.

Ill Bill – Exploding Octopus (Video)

I personally love how Ill Bill drops knowledge.  He can send me on a journey to find out more information on a specific topic just from hearing his music.  In this case the topic is the Unabomber also known as Ted Kaczynski.  There’s not too many people who can take a topic, expound upon that topic from an intellectual perspective, and get their listeners to delve in with them.  But that’s Ill Bill for you…

The Grimy Awards coming….

Single You Out: AWKWORD – Before Before (ft. MarQ Spekt, T.Shirt & Kel Spencer) [prod. by King P; cuts by The White Shadow)

AWKWORD is still pushing these World View singles.  It’s an album that I have been waiting to purchase as a package for a while but I may have to start compiling these singles one by one.

This track to me is like the hip hop version of Billy Joel’s We Didn’t Start The Fire except with a dope beat from King P and dope lyricism from an assortment of dope emcees.  This is a great cut that even the most fickle hip hop fan can appreciate.
