Damn he killed it! Chaundon shows the rest of us that higher level of lyricism. I love this joint. You can check out his discography HERE.
“…the underrated, underdog doing wonders here…”
Truest statement of 2013.
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.
Single You Out: Little Vic – Forsaken Life (ft. Mann95 x CP)
You can’t put it past me to up a rough mix of a cut that has Little Vic on it. Basically his rough cuts are greater than 90% of these mastered album songs the industry is perpetrating these days.
Meanwhile…we wait…patiently for his new album for lack of choices…
Single You Out: Koncept – Space Mountain (ft. Tanya Morgan)
Koncept is busy continuing the buzz for Malt Disney with the release of this single featuring Tanya Morgan. We are all ready for the album but we must wait for another month as it drops on February 25th. Good things come to those who wait.

Dirt Platoon – Better (Video)
This is a track from DJ Brans and Dirt Platoon’s EP from last year, Start Ya Bids. It’s a dope project and this song is indicative of why. Although the video’s backdrop is simple, I thought the cinematography is pretty dope. You definitely needed to be checking for this duo and the producer.
Locksmith – Be Free (Video)
This Locksmith album is going to be dope! Ill let you all know as soon as I have a date for THE GREEN BOX. This track narrates the trials and tribulations of a young lady from the third person. I like this track also from the vantage point that it shows yet another dimension to Locksmith’s expanding portfolio.
Paradime – Thought I Lost It (Video)
Paradime is one raw spitter! I have been checking for him since he dropping Breaking Beauregard, last year or the year prior (can’t remember). Thought I Lost It is not be found on any project and is a stand alone track to wet the appetites of fans. Really dope music. The track has excellent production concocted by Peace Of Mind. You can also download the song if you like it.
Caucasian – Boom Bap Blueprint (Video)
Alright, I live in Texas and when I think of hip hop music, I am not exactly thinking the Pan Handle area but you know what, Caucasian (who hails from Lubbock) can put it down. He’s got that classic flow that’s well, associated with boom bap. He sounds like he’s directly out of 1996 with his voice (that is a compliment). The production from Sivey has a definitively bluesy feel that is reminiscent of some Stevie Ray Vaughan guitar licks.
Caucasian’s album, Diggin’ The Shelf, is hitting stores soon…
The Underachievers – The Mahdi (Video)
I am really feeling the vibe off of this record. It’s the epitome of smooth. The Underachievers remind me a little of that Detroit crew, Clear Soul Forces in their style and knack for jazzy beats. You can’t go wrong with the content, nor the lyricism.
They have a mixtape dropping this Friday entitled, Indigoism.

Note:
I remember when I was told that Supastition was retiring as an emcee. I was demoralized. I thought to myself that he was a casualty of an unsupportive audience got tired of not being paid for the quality of his work. I was fed up with “fans” of hip hop. It was at that point that I started working more vigilantly on getting this blog started. I wanted to promote dope hip hop artists and push the fan base to contribute to the art they so love and enjoy. In essence Supastition is literally a major factor as to why I am typing this now.
