Willie The Kid and V Don continue their brillian collaborative efforts with the release of their new porject, Blue Notes 2. And you always know that Willie The Kid is standing out and not standing in. He has a brand all unto himself. His wordplay and flow are highly distinguished which makes that V Don pairing special, because as a producer, his sound is also ears apart. Enjoy!
Bobby J From Rockaway & Nef – 7182313 Interlude (ft. Hush) (Video)
This is one of my favorite tracks of the year thus far. I listen to this one on repeat. Nef did his thing on pairing this classic sample and looping it with some hitting drums. Really impressive how he turned this into a cohesive and addictive beat. Bobby J and Hush carry this joint with an equal amount of charisma to make this a song to remember though the year and beyong.
You can find this cut on Bobby J From Rockaway and Nef’s new project, Radio Days.
Isaac Castor – Eye See (prod. by Foul Mouth) (Video)
I think there’s already a second video to their new album, The Rabbit Hole 2, but this was the first one from emcee Isaac Castor and producer Foul Mouth. It’s a chill vibe that just kind of glides through the eardrums and allows to focus on Castor’s wordplay. We will be posting the other single very soon.
M-Dot & Revalation – Jump Start (Grazzhoppa Remix) (Video)
M-Dot and Revalation bring that exquisite lyricism over a DJ Grazzhoppa rendition of the track, Jump Start. And you know you are getting 100% hip hop with this combination.
Single You Out: WateRR x Lupara – Whenever The Drama Came (ft. Bohemia Lynch x Defcee)
I am a huge fan of WateRR. He has a very impressive discography as it stands. But this upcoming album with the production collective Lupara, Compendium Of Arcanum, is shaping up to be his best work to date. I really love this track, Whenever The Drama Came. This beat from Bohemia Lynch, the lyricism from WateRR and Defcee, and the chorus that binds, makes this a great listen.
Thunny Brown – Bar Work (Video)
Bar Work….yes Thunny Brown delivers on the namesake of this track with some serious street talk and a thunderous flow. This is not for you fancy lads, but this for that head nod effect. The beat is more than just proper and Thunny has some great wordplay and flow. This track appears on the album from 2020, Heavenly Sword. I might have to check that out.
You failed to plan and built your castle on the sand
Dope line.
Wildelux – 24/7 (Video)
Wildelux is back with a new song, and not only does he handle the mic professionally but he also produces this song. And this is not your average beat, either. This is some legit fire!
I’m a little saddened to hear this is his last solo album, but excited to hear what this end product to look like. Get ready for The IT Factor…coming soon!
Single You Out: Word & Skinny Bonez The Godfatha – Bangkok Bar Brawls (ft. Mickey Diamond & Dro Pesci)
Oh good gawd this joint is a heat rock and a half. Skinny Bonez Tha Godfather and Words team up with Mickey Diamond and Dro Pesci for music to murk to. Bangkok Bar Brawls as a title sounds like the perfect reflection for the music itself. Each emcee has the gravel to lace som kill shots in their respective sixteens. This is a combo that belongs together on a track.
Single You Out: Stu Bangas & Recognize Ali – Pulverized (ft. Lord Goat)
Stu Bangas and Recognize Ali are back at it for 2023 accompanied by Lord Goat for their first single Pulverized. This is a precursor for the new album Guerilla Dynasty 2. And this song is nasty. Bangas has a subtle, yet devious hand when it comes to the beat and string sample on this track. And Recognize Ali and Lord Goat exchange verbal blood baths making this the first sinister track of the year.
