This is absolutely one of the most artistic and innovative videos I have seen this year. So I tip my hat to the team who came up with that idea. Very innovative. Meanwhile, if you haven’t heard that track then you haven’t purchased the album yet. PLEASE DO SO NOW!
Single You Out: Emilio Rojas – Rise Above ft. Laws and RacQdolo
Well, if this song didn’t make the Breaking Point, then I know we are in for an excellent album, because this song is damn good. Emilio Rojas has a lot of intensity and fire which, as a fan, I love to see.

Note:
This is one of those albums that somehow found it’s way to me and I eventually listened to…and subsequently loved. The note that came with the album was that the producer, Eddie Logix, found beats that perfectly fit the emcee, Benjamin Miles. And you know what? You can tell. Each track relates to a different part of Benjamin Miles personality to the point the album has an autobiographical feel to it.

Single You Out: Jedi Mind Tricks – Target Practice (Shuko Remix)
The original just dropped, what, 2 weeks ago? Well, I am not complaining. Shuko’s rendition of this track is dope. The new JMT album drops in two weeks so be prepared. I am thinking that by having a new staple of producers for this album (no offense to Stoupe) that we might have a very special album on our hands. Violence Begets Violence You can preorder now!

Outerspace – Written In Blood (Video)
Some more visuals for a joint off of their latest album, My Brother’s Keeper. This is their best album in my opinion and this is my favorite track off of it. The visuals are pretty cool, a little cryptic, but cool. Check out the album if you haven’t already.
Single You Out: Marq Spekt x Kno – Roadhouse ft. Action Bronson
Kno delivers on this track. The guitar riff and the drums get this party going. This song is just too tough for the masses but if you are feeling brave then go for it. Get your socks knocked off. I just heard Machete Vision was dropping about a week ago and now I will eagerly anticipate it’s arrival. The 25th is going to be one hell of a day for hip hop.

Note:
First off, let it be said that these guys and their team did an excellent job of promoting this release. They were constantly putting out music (First Mondays) and the word was buzzing (at least on my end). There have been a ton of good releases this year, and a handful of great ones. The Panic Button just might be cracking that latter category as soon as you get a chance to listen to it.
Single You Out: Big O + Doc Remedy – Take It Personal ft. M-Eighty
A lot of new things hit my inbox and I tag it to listen to later, sometimes I do and sometimes, regrettably, I don’t. But I did check this joint out from Big O and Doc Remedy ft. M-Eighty. The rhymes are on par and the production is on that apocalyptical tip. It’s a winner.

Single You Out: Serge Severe ft. Luck-One – Know The Truth (prod. Terminill)
Serge Severe and Luck One team up for this track as the first single to Severe’s forthcoming project, Service Without A Smile. That project will be dropping later in the fall. I really enjoyed the production from Terminill. The harmonica infused rhythm was a nice touch.
