The BBAS team must all be drinking some secret elixir that enhances their rhyming and production skill because everything they put out is noteworthy. It’s ALL that damn good. Koncept really is bringing it with his last two singles. I’ve always like him as an emcee but these tracks (in particular this one) really have him stepping up a notch. The production by Tranzformer,…awesome. Love this joint.
Single You Out: Redhead – Can Only Blame Yourself (ft. Laelo Hood)
I like getting things like this in my email. You know…dope music type things. I have no information on the artist Redhead but the song really speaks volumes. I truly like everything about this song. The production is nice (Ratatat) and the verses are well thought out. A guest shot from Laelo Hood does nothing but help. If you like this cut, it is off his mixtape which just dropped (yet to check it out), The Schemata.

Single You Out: A.L. Laureate – Automated Negligence
Are you looking for something mellow yet introspective this morning? A.L. Laureate has got you covered. It’s a deep song so make sure you pick a quiet corner to listen to this for the first time. DJ Frantic is on the beat. Laureate’s new album, Closed Eyed Insomnia is on it’s way.

Single You Out: Celph Titled x Buckwild – While You Slept (ft. Laws)
First batch of dopeness released from Celph Titled and Buckwild’s follow up album, Nineteen Ninety MORE. Which drops next week. Yes, you heard correctly, NEXT WEEK. It’s vintage vibe with with that lyrical twist. Be sure to check out the album next week!

Devine Carama – The Populist Pulpit (Video)
Some tight visuals from Devine Carama’s latest musical offering, Blood Of A Slave. If you haven’t checked this album, you are missing out. It is special…
Block McCloud & Vinnie Paz – True Lies/End of Days (Video)
I think I said it before…I am HUGE Block McCloud fan and if these two songs are any indication as to how his new album, Four Walls, sounds, we are in for a treat. I am loving the production from DJ Waxwork.
Savant – Make Your Move (ft. Nora Perez) (Video)
I wish I had more material from Savant. The guy has a killer flow. He has been dropping some singles (I think he is done with that though) for his Crash Series which you can cop on his Bandcamp page. I hope to hear more from him as I think his talent is immense. As I understand it, this is his first video, so enjoy…
Interview: UllNevaNo (2011)
Hip Hop is probably the most dynamic form of music right now. Albums and mixtapes get dropped almost on a daily basis. New artists are emerging and then fading away as quickly as they came. This leads me to bring you HHD’s latest artist spotlight on, Baltimore’s native son, UllNevaNo, so you don’t forget the name. I caught wind of his latest single, Hand Movements, and was instantly impressed. So just like I got put onto the man, so I put you on. This artist is not to be slept on and will not just be another flash in the pan. So enjoy the interview and then check his music.
Single You Out: Jon Connor – Vicious Cycle
Here’s the second dose of Jon Connor I promised. This is a good Valentine’s Day song. It’s for those of you in (or recently out of) a relationship where things never get better and each day seems like the last. Nothing changes, thusly leading into the Vicious Cycle.

Jon Connor – Reppin 4 Flint
I am a lot late on putting some Jon Connor music on this site, so today I am going to hit you with the double dose. First this video for Reppin 4 Flint. The flow on this track is breathtaking. I kept waiting for him to slow down and he just never did.
