Don Streat isn’t just content with that Animal Pak Banger, he’s crafted two more joints for the people to ride to. The first features Kool G Rap and the second features Dirt Platoon. He really is making a name for himself with the consistent string of dope releases. I can’t wait to hear his album. These songs are beyond tough.
2UGLi ft Bloody Monk Consortium – Left Handed Violinists (Video)
New video from the homie, 2Ugli and his affiliates the Bloody Monk Consortium. Snowgoons lacing the production. It’s just a tough joint with some fire bars and symphonic beats. New album from the collaborators drops on July 28th entitled Immunological Disorder.
Illogic and Blockhead – Preparing For Capture (2012)
Album: Preparing For Capture
Tracklisting:
1. Matter Of Minutes
2. Poster boy
3. Nails (ft. Rob Sonic)
4. Ego’s Orbit
5. Weigh You Down
6. Caffeine Budge
7. Herstory
Note:
Illogic is a veteran emcee known for expanding on the known bounds of hip hop. On one hand he is a solid emcee who can spit with the best of them and easily move in and out of different constructs and sub-genres. On the other hand, he is a classic poet. He utilizes poetic structure and devices, such as assonance and alliteration heavily in his rhymes. He is intellectual and conjures vivid imagery with his wordplay. He also takes normal, everyday emotions and transcends them into a flurry of words and vice versa. He is truly a one of a kind artist.

Single You Out: Trace Blam – Take It Back (ft. Big Remo)
This is a well produced joint by Tom Delay that Trace Blam and Big Remo annihilate proper. This track is coming off of Blam’s yet to be released, Karate EP.
Red Eye – Fuc B’n Polite (Video)
Red Eye back at it again with some visuals from his St. Fatrick’s Day mixtape. If you haven’t copped that yet, get on it! The whole joint is a monster.
Single You Out: JaeWon – Long Live The King
Alright, this emcee, JaeWon from Sweden is busting flows in his second language better than many of you do in your first! This is a dope song. The music is good, the lyrics and flow are on point, and the chorus holds it together. It has a little bit of radio appeal to it if he ever wanted to go that route. Sweden stand up!
Single You Out: Awkword – Back To BK (ft. D.Julien, Dom O Briggs, Poison Pen, and Tone Spliff)
It’s still all aces when it comes to the music that Awkword is making. It’s a different line up but the same dope result. All of the emcees ride this stripped down production to the death. It’s grimy, gritty and extremely likable. I am not even going to ask about the World View release date…not going to do it…release it already so I can contribute to the cause!
Single You Out: Animal Pak (Don Streat and Praverb the Wyse) – Banger
There may not be a more appropriately named song this year. Simple, yet well earned. Croup has put together a top ten production this year, while Praverb and Don Streat put axe to grindstone creating sharp verses (you like that one don’t you.) I like the idea of this, ‘Animal Pak’ group. A good combination that is going to turn a lot of heads.
Single You Out: Skrewtape – 3 Ring Circus (ft. C-Rayz Walz, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Mr Green, DJ A Sharp)
Skrewtape brings you a track on his yet to be released, Skumbag Millionaires. This track is produced by the venerable, Mr. Green, and he releases and understated yet incredibly dope beat. Each of the emcees does the track right making you anticipate what this album may have to offer.
