Single You Out: Jarren Benton x Spittzwell – The One (ft. Demerick)

It’s all about sharing with you all the illness that I come across on my internet excursions and one thing I know from previous experience is that Jarren Benton and Spittzwell are a good combination.  Their previous body of work, Luke P EP, had some serious illness.  And when I got an email notification that they had a new project, I jumped at the opportunity to listen.  It does not disappoint.  The album is called The Mink Coat Killa LP.

The track I chose to feature is The One as it features some soul, funk, reggae, and straight hip-hop flavor.   It’s such a dope beat and Benton slays it with creative lyricism and a ferocity to boot!  Check out this project!  You owe it to yourself!

Single You Out: Swamp Thing & Ghettosocks – Phenomical

Here’s something else that is new and noteworthy!  The Grindhouse 2 EP is a collection of cuts that did not make the 2017 album, The Octagon, from Swamp Thing and Ghettosocks.   The whole EP is rather filthy and the song Phenomical is among my most favorites.  There’s lots to love here but the production from Socks and his choice of samples is nothing short brilliant, so be sure to enjoy this sample and then pick up the project!

Single You Out: SoulChef – We Oui (ft. Steph Pockets)

Here’s a gem of a project you all need to take a look at.  It’s producer SoulChef’s new one, Foreign Affairs.  And I feel like the hip-hop fan is really missing out if they don’t peep this.   There are so many great tracks off of this album.  I was really feeling Deal With ItHypocrite, and Reeducaction.  But in the end, my favorite is this joint featuring Steph Pockets, We Oui.  I mean this track is just plain likable.  Pockets’ flow with this impeccable flow from Soul Chef is a win of the highest degree!  It’s an anthem of sorts.  I can see this getting a lot of love as it gets heard so let’s make that happen!

Single You Out: Ren Thomas – Through The Fire (ft. Banish Habitual x Aquile)

RenThomasThroughTheFire

Ren Thomas has dropped a series of dope singles recently, and this one is just another dope cut to add to a long list.   The road to success occurs on the back of an Anno Domini production and lyricism from Thomas and Banish Habitual.  This song packs some heat with inspiration laced inside.

Can we get a Ren Thomas album?

The bridge between winning and losing… I done burned it.

Single You Out: Juxx Diamondz – Playing With Fire

I don’t see peoples talking about Juxx Diamondz like they should be.   He just dropped album called Lord Knowz that is filled with some legit dopeness and it shouldn’t be passed on.

I wanted to share with you this track from the album as my favorite.  The piano loop and the vocal sample are the perfect compliment to Diamondz delivery.   This joint just goes and I think you will agree.

Don’t sleep on this release!

 

Single You Out: Pop Buchanan – The Promise Land

Pop

I am late on this track from Pop Buchanan but it’s one that I am obligated to get out to you guys because this track just has a unique and yet dope vibe.  The production from illegal Spiegel embraces the spiritual element and has a very organic feel too it.  Buchanan then hits you with unabashed approach of his take on black history and community.  His mic prescence is strong and his message is more so.

Check out his new project, Ancestral Drums!  If it’s even half as good as this cut we are all in for a project to leave in our rotation for the year.   Really dope!
