I had been meaning to pick up their self-titled project and just never got around to it. I need to step up though. This joint is dope. Production from The Alchemist.
A.L. Laureate – Automated Negligence (Video)
I was late on his Close Eyed Insomnia project. But once I heard it, it gets rotation on a weekly basis here in my house. Here is the visuals for Automated Negligence.

Note:
Kyle Hubbard’s 2010 project, Tomorrow In Retrospect, garnered my attention in early 2011. I didn’t know who he was but somehow I caught wind of the release and I found a whole lot of respect for this Houston emcee and his music. Hubbard just goes about things differently. He may live in Houston but his sound embodies a more global view of hip hop.

Kyle Hubbard – It’s Making Sense (Video)
Kyle Hubbard putting in work in advance of his album, You’re Not That Special, dropping in two days. It’s Making Sense is a thought provoking track, so think on it. This is an album you are definitely going to want to check out when it drops!
DJ Low Cut – How We Roll (ft. Dontique)
DJ Low Cut’s, NY Minute, just dropped today and so far this song is really indicative of what you can find on the album. I am listening to it as I throw up this post. Every song has been a banger! This, How We Roll Cut, is a heater. Dontique executes his flow perfectly on this joint. You can download the single for free below.
Check The Discography: Emilio Rojas
I haven’t done as many ‘check the discography’ segments as I would have liked and was thinking which emcee has put in a lot of work that people would like to get their hands on. I came up with the prolific, Emilio Rojas. The man has undergone a few name changes and a new crowd may not be up on his older material. I am a big fan of this NYC artist and thought some other people might feel the same way and like to check out some of his earlier work. Unfortunately, the only way to here the album, For Good, is if you want to pay $40.00+ for the import CD at CD Universe. My apologies.
Emilio has another mixtape/street album, Breaking Point, dropping before the end of the year. He has already released a few singles from that joint. Also, he and producer M-Phazes have an album that dropped earlier this year under the name Phaze One. Unfortunately that album is only available in Australia on Itunes. Here is the link if you happen to be Australian.

Note:
This is my first time ever reviewing one of Copywrite’s releases. He has made a lot of good music in the past ten years and he has been in a few different places in his life during that time. You can hear that in his music. His most current station in life seems to have brought him a certain sense of peace of mind. Copywrite has recently engaged more actively with his Creator and you can see a changed person even though I have never met the man personally. Through his online interactions, he seems…content.
Locksmith – Little Bunny Rabbit (Video)
Wow. This title was on the deceptive side. This song is not about warm, little fuzzies. This song is about an artist who isn’t garnering the props he deserves. Locksmith brutalizes this beat with an appetite for destruction. This video is a little trippy and it’s meant to be. His new album, Labyrinth, which is free, is dropping in a few weeks.
Single You Out: Kyle Hubbard – One Time, Two Times (ft. Roosh Williams)
This is the first single off of Kyle Hubbard’s forthcoming album, You’re Not That Special. This really is just the tip of the iceberg. You are definitely going to want to hear the rest of that joint when it drops on March 20th. This beat by DJay Cas is synthed out but has a high energy ‘epic’ feel to it. Hubbard is the one who makes this track original though. So often it seems he just takes a beat (any beat) and contorts it into something special.
