More music that bangs from the combination of JMega and Junior Makhno. This song should be featured on their new album, Blood & Thunder which, as of yet, does not have a release date. On this track, Makhno throws together a string symphony for JMega to spit over, even lacing the intro with a little Steve Buscemi from the movie, Desperado. JMega has a tight delivery and strikes me as clever with the words…
When I find out when the project drops…I will make for certain you do as well…
Another dope cut from JoJo Pellegrino, maybe my favorite of his last few joints. I am still waiting with baited breath for Machine Gun Pelly.
Alias and Fakts One bring you another video from their album, Second Chances. Fakts One gives you the soulful and melodious backdrop while Alias runs down the psychological disadvantages of not having a father around coming up.
New single from Apollo Brown and Guilty Simpson’s forthcoming album, Dice Game. This joint of course contains Simpson’s gruff delivery and Brown’s bluesy/soulful accompaniment. The album drops on November 13th.
If you were looking for something smooth today to rock out to, look no further. F.Y.I. has got us all covered. He flips this Boonie Mayfield track to perfection. This is really my first time hearing from this artist although he is the co-founder of the group Those Chosen, which I am sure I have heard from previously.
This cut is off his forthcoming records, Yo The Places You’ll Go.
The Black Opera’s forthcoming album, Libretto: Of King Legend, is shaping up very nicely in the eyes of this hip hop fan. The men of intrigue release another cut from the album to build the anticipation. This joint is produced by Astronote.
Consistency. Consistency. That’s one of the first words that comes to my mind when I hear the name Kap Kallous. Never puts out a wack song or a less than solid project. Paper has a synthed out 80s vibe to it with some nuanced funk. I like the direction of the video too as it shows the paper chase from a different perspective. It’s off of his new and readily available album, Hearse.
I just got done listening to Dumbfounded’s new album, Take The Stares, yesterday. He’s got a really unique approach to making hip hop. He adds a lot of humour to his songs and this video proves to be equally unique and amusing, not to mention it must have been fun to do!

Note:
This review has been in the chamber for a while as Vice City Nights was released just over a month ago. The project is collaborative in nature with Emilio Lopez holding down the duties on the mic while Barcelona based production duo, RJBeats controls the boards. I have really enjoyed hearing the numerous amounts of EPs this year that focus on using one producer with one emcee to give the projects some consistency without getting stale. Vice City Nights follows that template to a tea.
