This track is a self-fulfilling prophecy because the joint is indeed nice. The NorthWest represents on this track. I am sure you will all love this beat. It’s good enough for your party and to just ease back to. It’s too good not to enjoy. This is the second single to the forthcoming album from Wizdom and Epidemmik, Unearthed.
I have seen this name floating out there for some time. This is my first time really sitting down to listen to Awkword though. I like what I hear from this single off his yet to be released album, World View. Therapy music…
Alright now! Some new music from the Sandpeople camp. I know this emcee as Gold, but I guess he is rolling with the name Goldini Bagwell. It really doesn’t matter in terms of this single from his forthcoming album, Chainsmoke, dropping November 29th. This song is stupid nice…or maybe dumb hot…oh well, you get the picture, check it out.

Note:
I must admit, I was not expecting a Passalacqua full length this year. As many of you know, I reviewed their sensational, self titled release, earlier this year. That release is a hard one to top and it took me a while to give Zebehazy Summer enough spins to appropriately differentiate the two. The main difference is in the production. Dr. B produced their first release and I thought it had a more straight forward hip hop appeal. Erno the Inferno really brings the funk and soul out in the tracks. It took me a moment to digest this new flavor. But with that being said…Mister and Blaksmith take this new style and really lay claim to each track.
This song is no joke. I am not laughing. Planet Asia and Ras Kass coupled with Torae and Jasiri X? Ah hell. This song is a banger in every sense of the word. The beat by REL!G!ON is next level. There is nothing to dislike about this track unless you simply hate hip hop.
The remix for YC The Cynic’s, More And More, includes more than just a couple of dope alternate invites. It looks like he solicited some of the Carolina’s best. The original song from Fall FWD is dope but I may yet prefer this “Carolina” version. On a side note, every time I hear a King Mez guest shot, I crave to hear a solo album. Maybe soon?
The Black Opera is back! I really enjoyed their EP from earlier this year. This song is just as good if not better than any other track from that EP. I can’t wait to hear the new project.
Is this the first time I have featured Malkovich? Better late than never. Much of this is in part to his rhyming partner on this track, Sum. That man can flow! Where is he from? What has he done in the past? At any rate it’s a great song. The beat is provided by Becoming Phill. If you are really feeling this track, why don’t you download it? It’s free.
More new music from The Closers / Infinity Gauntlet lyrical enforcer. I think Red Eye’s bars are tough and he’s got a good flow. His mixtape, St. Fatrick’s Day, is dropping this upcoming March. Keep paying attention to this artist!

Note:
Give me something different. Something unique. Give me…some more music from Forbidden Dialect! I reviewed their first joint, More Than Your Money’s Worth, more than a year ago. I found it on my own, web surfing and thought it was refreshing. This time Forbidden Dialect sent me the link to their new album. I thought to myself, “What are the chances that this album is as good as the first?” I was incredulous, but to my pleasant surprise, Orange Sessions, is probably better than their first effort. If More Than Your Money’s Worth is initially fresh, then Orange Sessions is consistently vibrant. It simply follows in the footsteps of it’s predecessor and expands upon that foundation. When you have six (count them) talented artists, with diverse backgrounds, then it is inevitable that you are going to get a very unique album.
