B.Dvine connects with Goretex for some heat over production from Sean Strange. Strange puts some strings together that sometimes set a frenetic pace for the aforementioned emcees, as they stay true to…The Recipe.
Single You Out: Curly Castro – Ital-You-Can-Eat (ft. billy woods)
Here’s a single from Curly Castro’s forthcoming album, Tosh which is dropping on December 14th. Ital-You-Can-Eat is a creative and eclectic blend of talent that just comes together and an impeccable blend. You’ve got a master of musical fusion in Blockhead concocting a production that is reggae-asian-hiphop infused. And then you add bending lyricism from Castro and billy woods to the mix, and your palette is set. Enjoy the feast!
Single You Out: Spoda – Homicide
Spoda is someone we haven’t featured on our pages before but I saw a wealth of talent demonstrated on this single Homicide produced by Wavy Da Ghawd. The horns with the gritty feel of the track create the canvas needed for Spoda “make a killing” on the mic, and that’s exactly what he does. We will look forward to hearing more from him as an artist.
Single You Out: Sedizzy – Raw Rap (ft. Donnie Darko)
This track was actually released back in July of 2017 but serves as the single to Sedizzy’s forthcoming project, Slick Talk Season, which is dropping on December 7th. And even while it’s an older track, I still feel the need to share it as it illustrates are really dope flow and lyricism from this artist. We also have Donnie Darko dropping some fiya, and we are very familiar with what he’s capable of and he does not disappoint here.
Make sure you check this project on Friday!
Single You Out: Pounds X Bodega Bamz X Crimeapple X Spitzwell – Corners
A dope posse cut with production from a man who has put in some serious work this year that may be going unnoticed…Spittzwell. The production has a lighter vibe with a little bit of electronic vibe. That allows the emcees Pounds, Bodega Bamz, and Crimeapple to spit some street tales, each bringing their own unique style to the table.
Single You Out: Flu – Six Shots (ft. Smoovth)
Producer Flu unleashes the dark and haunting strings that the streets use for creeping around corners and so that Smoovth can drop a couple of effortless sixteens. This is music you use to throw your hoodie up and go for a walk on a rainy night with your headphones on. I love my hip-hop just like this!
Single You Out: Waterr x The Kurse – Dollars & The Rent
Oh wow! How about this combination of emcee Waterr and producer The Kurse?!?! Is this not fresh as fuck? It kind of reminds me of the same funk and flavor Camp Lo brought to the game in the 1990s. It’s funky and fresh. The Kurse incorporates almost a 70s vibe into his hip hop flavor and Waterr continues to impress rocking over a variety of production flawlessly. His flow and voice really work well with this production.
Single You Out: Eff Yoo x The Kurse – Saturn’s Rings (ft. Recognize Ali)
Eff Yoo and producer The Kurse release the single, Saturn’s Rings for their recently dropped album, Spicaso Deluxe, which is out now! Everything is great about this track. The haunting production, the bars from both Eff Yoo and Recognize Ali both ring bells, and then you get the scratches from DJ TMB which takes the track to next level in my opinion.
If you love this joint, you really should obligate yourself to check out the album.
Single You Out: Planet Asia – Black Magic (ft. TriState) (prod. by Dirty Diggs)
Planet Asia is an originator and the style and vision he has shown have been the template for so many artists, and I think it’s about time people give credit to where it is due. He’s been cultivating his sound for almost two decades and remains a gold standard for me and my ear over the years. And he’s back at it, flipping his smooth style along with comrade, TriState, over another delicious treat from Dirty Diggs.
His new album, Keita, is in the works and we should hopefully be seeing that soon.
