Singles, Albums, EPs, Mixtapes, and Videos that get the HHD thumbs up.
New, new from Ca$ablanca entitled Chopsticks x Bullsh!t and it features more dope bars from accomplices Killa Kali and Nowaah The Flood. This song is quite ill, and I wish I could knock this in the whip this morning! This beat by CapChino is fantastic. I love the sound crafted here as it knocks as hard as you would expect with sixteens from the aforementioned artists.
What I am really loving is the work ethic, coupled with the talent. Ca$ablanca is on a tear!
Shabaam Sahdeeq drops another video single from his album, Timeless: of the collection. This time the subject is the art of graffiti and who better to share the mic duties on a track such as this, than El Da Sensei? The two flip lines discussing their love for the art form over a high energy production from Jake Palumbo (who has been killing it lately).
Of note: Sahdeeq directed the video himself.
Rome Streetz and producer Farma Beats unleash the video single for Wickedest Ting featuring Daniel Son. This is just one of many bangers to be found on their recently released project, Street Farmacy.
The project is about 40 minutes long and is that uncut dope throughout. If you felt this cut, you will undoubtedly feel this album.
I really don’t want people to miss out on Crew54’s new project, Slap Rapz 2. I just listened to this whole project from start to finish earlier today, and it’s dope throughout. Trust me…you don’t want to miss this one. I am featuring the track, Stare, because I am really loving the funk and soul elements this track provides along with the skillful boom bap.
I swear when I posted this song as a single yesterday, I had no idea that had a video on tap. Saipher Soze and Finn release the visuals for arguably the best track on an amazing project, Kannibul Rising.
DZ The Unknown teams up the EMS team (M-Dot, Revalation, and Kore) for this video single, Lucid. The production from C-Lance may be one of my favorite beats from him recently. The lyricism is also very rich with each artists delivering their own measure of talent to the table.
This track is off of DZ’s project, Observe and Adapt which has yet to receive a release date.
I could not wait, nor could I resist in sharing something from Saipher Soze and Finn’s new project, Kanibul Rising. This album is destined for big things. I copped it as soon as I knew it dropped (thank’s bandcamp for always keeping me alert). This project is impressive from start to finish.
I can’t really pick a favorite track right now, but you can’t go wrong with Basquiat. Soze and Finn put something together that you are going to need to cop. I am probably going to have to leave this on all day.
Godz Chyld teams up with Jordan River Banks for another great cut. Godz Chyld has a unique and poetic way with words. And this whole joint, with Jordan River Banks’ guitar loops and ethereal feel, along with the intellectual and polished lyricism of Godz Chyld, really takes you places. I am definitely diggin’ this track. Heavenly vibe.
You can check out the new project, Woke, if you are feeling this like I am.
I really enjoy the product that Ren Thomas consistently puts out. He’s got quite a few dope records to his credit, and this one is right up there with the rest of them. Father Focus Confucious (underrated as fuck) laces Thomas with some serious fire. I love this beat with the sample. And Thomas delivers verses consistent with the duality of person.
This shit goes!
Recognize Ali links up with Vinnie Paz to exchange sixteens over a banger from B-Sun. I really enjoy the guitar sample used by B-Sun on this track, and DJ TMB really adds some excellent scratching to the joint. And let’s face it, Ali has become one of the preeminent names in hip-hop, while Paz just shows he’s only getting better with his now legendary grind. Excellent hip-hop.
New project, Recognition, is coming…when…I know not.
