Boldy James and Futurewave? Yes, please sir, can I have some more! The combined smoothness of these two artists is a blessing for the listener. Flag On The Play, is the lead single off of the forthcoming album, Mr.Ten08.
Don Def – Future Reference (Video)
New joint from emcee Don Def with production from Sherm LaRock (whom is extremely underrated). This song can be found off of his new album, Cypher Complete. It’s safe to say that this is a legit banger so we should all be inclined to check the full length.
Single You Out: Skeezo & Whip Beats – Old Habits
I know alot of you are not familiar with Skeezo, but this guy is a consummate emcee who has the complete gift. And in the year 2022 we are seeing a resurgence from this talented artist. Backed with some dark heat rocks from producer, Whip Beats, Skeezo is heading back into your ear drums and staking a claim. This bass line with the guitar licks spells the trouble needed to get our emcee into his “old habits”. This song comes equipped with toe tags as bodies are bound to be caught!
New album, Return Of The Bad Guy, coming next month!
Shaz Illyork & Buon Anni – White Russian (Video)
It’s been a minute since I have heard something new from Shaz Illyork and he comes back at us with a banger produced by Buon Anni entitled White Russians. This joint has some serious knock to it with and looks to be a precursur of what’s to come with an album slated to drop on November 7th.
Dub Sonata – Another Day (ft. Revalation, Bobby J From Rockaway & M-Dot) (Video)
Dub Sonata enlists a superlative cast of emcees for his latest single, Another Day, with the likes of M-Dot, Bobby J From Rockaway and Revalation. This track is the perfect blend of soulful and boom bap. I love the way the beat rolls in and out of the soulful chorus. And the lyrics from all three artists are fantastic relating those stressful experiences to listeners around the world in perfect cadence. Really feeling this joint alot.
And guess what? You are going to be able to hear more from Dub Sonata when his album, Tranquilizer Dart, hits on November 21st.
Body Bag Ben x Planet Asia – Heavy Metal (Video)
Yep. Planet Asia. You say the name and with 100 percent assuredness it’s going to get a post here. The man does no wrong. And he keeps on rolling, project after project, and collaboration after collaboration. Here he links up with a pretty prolific artist in his own right, Body Bag Ben, and they proceed to make some menacing music with the single, Heavy Metal.
They have a new project out as well that you should be checking, Heist The Crown.
Single You Out: Snotty – Real Love (prod. by Brisk Fingaz)
You know what time it is! It’s time for the Big Umbrella! And Snotty knows how to deliver a high level of potenecy in a short period of time. And when he rocks over this Brisk Fingaz beat, it sounds like a dusty jazz club vibe with tales from our emcee taking front and center on a smoke filled stage. Sleep not!
El Gant – Roar the Lions (Video)
El Gant’s new project, O.S.L.O., drops on this coming Friday and has all the trappings of being a tremendous listen. You have razor sharp lyricism and complete control of his bars. He is able to change cadences and pace effortlessly, all the while launching salvo after salvo of dopeness. It’s on full display here on Roar the Lions, in which producer Motif Alumni takes you to church and DJ Grazzhoppa chops up a new religion!
I’m a one man fight song….
And that sounds about right!
Single You Out: Maze Overlay – Hardbody Arts (prod. by Slang Hugh)
Maze Overlay coming on strong in 2022. His latest album produced by Farmabeats, AZTECAZ, is some straight fire. And on Hardbody Arts, prod by Slang Hugh, he picks right up where he left off. He has a really nice flow that you can really appreciate over this rhythm that just snakes through your eardrums. Overlay is one to watch from here on out, really showing his talent for the world to see.
Single You Out: Serge Severe – Again
Serge Severe is back at the mic once again, and catching his second wind and seizing his opportunity as he drops the new single, Again. Using a familiar Wu-Tang instrumental as the song’s crux, Severe gets reborn and is hyper focused on making the most of his talent and music career allowing the listener to follow along bar by bar.
