Video single for the track, Epic Tales, off of producer Recognize Real’s new offering, Bridges & Tunnels. The track features the blessings of Rasheed Chappell on the mic which is always welcome! The way the video was done was also very clever in the way they incorporated it from the perspective of a novel. Check out the new album when you have a moment.
Ty Farris – Say My Name (Video)
I haven’t been able to check the new Ty Farris and Trox album, Room 29 Part 2. But this song certainly makes me want to do this sooner than later. Embarrassingly enough, I don’t think I have heard the first one which means I am slipping in serious ways over here. So I have a lot of making up to do but this track is really dope in all facets so we should all be making the move to cop the album.
Young Lo – Never Fold (prod. by Tone Spliff)
Young Lo and Tone Spliff release a video single, Never Fold, from their 2018 EP, Tape Deck Music. This is 100% unadulterated hip hop that this hip hop fan craves. If you find yourself yearning for dope beats and fresh verses, this is going to be up your auditory alley.
Single You Out: Taboo – Vacillate
Whenever Taboo drops something I am paying certain attention. When he gets introspective I pay extra CAREFUL attention. He doesn’t release as much music as I would like but when he does it’s always a gem. I love this track. So many great lines to wrap your mind around.
Nature & BP – Stop Frontin (Video)
New video up for Nature and producer BP, Stop Frontin. Really just got word that the project, Laws Of Nature, was a reality when it hit the digital shelves but I didn’t waste any time picking up. As emcee and producer are known and dope commodities in the hip hop game. Nature has been dropping dope bars for decades and BP has been buzzing with some stellar production (previous to this with the likes of Tragedy Khadafi).
Can’t wait to check this album out in its entirety. This song is certainly nice!
Daniel Son x Futurewave – Waffle Brunch (Video)
Daniel Son and Futurewave have killed it yet again with their recent album collaboration, Yenaldooshi. This album is full of gems just like this. Futurewave layers some mellow and boom bap for Daniel Son to put out something memorable with lines just like this. He’s always in the pocket:
“Maybe you’ll get signed if you tag Conway a hundred times…”
“It’s a sad sight….the devil wouldn’t buy your soul for half price…”
“Gave your life to this shit…and then the shit forgot ya…”
Single You Out: Supastition – Solitaire
Supastition is back!!! And he’s back showcasing both his lyrical talent and his skills behind the board. He’s a Top 5 emcee in my mind. He’s clever, has a great flow, brings it with emotion, and he’s extremely relatable. Sacrifice is his new EP and it’s dropping on July 26th so stand prepared.
“I ain’t seen a cold spell since elementary winters”
Showbiz x Milano Constatine – Get Chips (Video)
Milano Constatine and famed producer Showbiz dropped their much-anticipated album, Boulevard Author yesterday and this song (video) is quite indicative of what you will find on the album as a whole.
Constatine has been a highly sought after artist for the last few years and you can see why here. He’s at the top of his game here, narrating street perspectives, and corner commentary as someone who has lived it. He does such with an almost effortless flow over that premium production Showbiz has made his name on for the last three decades.
Definitely, check the album!
Ill Bill x Sunday – Warlord (ft. DV Alias Khryst) (Video)
Ill Bill and producer Sunday set it off by releasing their video single, Warlord. The track pays homage or references the power the warlord possesses through means of fear, intimidation, and violence. The video and the song play out like a movie of sorts while Bill and Sunday deliver on sound and content, with of course hook provided by the master, D.V. Alias Khryst.
Ill Bill has been so consistently dope over the years, and you can expect that streak to continue with his new album dropping on July 26th.
