Another personal favorite of mine is back to making music. Over the past few years there have been a few sightings of K-Beta dropping a verse or two but now it seems he is engaged in a full resurgence which is great for us hip hop fans, because the man is supremely talented.
Here’s is his self-produced reintroduction to the masses. The man has bars! Check back here for new music from K-Beta as it arrives.
Ullnevano teams up with MANHE for a project named after one of the best names in collegiate sports, God Shammgod, a Point Guard from Providence with the ill handles. And that’s what this project represents, the ability to control your craft like a ball on a string.
My favorite joint from the project is fight klub pool table, which incidentally is another GREAT name for a track. MANHE laces a laid back but dusty vinyl vibe accompanied by a cascading harp, for Ullnevano to proliferate his lyrical skill with. And you really need to listen hard, because he’s got a lot of built in ill wordplay that you might miss if you’re not paying attention.
Check out SHAMMGOD.
I just got done listening to this Greater Than’s self-titled album, this afternoon. I thought it was really quite boom-bastic. For those of you who are not in the know, Greater Than is made up of Seattle artists, Grynch, Fearce Vill, and Grieves.
The first thing I want to make mention of is that Grieves does not rhyme on the album, but produces. And his chops behind the boards are impressive. I mean he crafted some delicious rhythms. I didn’t realize that he could get down like that.
Grinch and and Fearce Vill definitely represent well on the lyrical level as well. Both lyrically and visually catching bodies over the track Fine Wine. If you are feeling this joint than undoubtedly you will feel the rest.
I am loving this unique production from 38 Spesh and the way he and Kool G Rap exchange bars over it. The chemistry sounds insane over this beat. And when we talk about longevity in the game and still maintaining one of the illest flows EVER, we are discussing G. Rap. The man is amazing.
The collaborative album, Son Of G Rap, is dropping on June 8th.
Father Focus Confucious (Dead Rabbits) has been on a creative tear as of late, releasing a couple of projects already this year. His latest one, Volcano, has quite a few heat rocks on it (tasteful pun intended). He’s got a lot of great guest spots on it but some of the stand out joints to me are the solo tracks.
My favorite is actually the leading track, Where You Don’t Belong. This song highlights both his skill as a producer and emcee. I really connected and vibe with this one.
Supreme Cerebral is just getting started with 2018, after dropping his God’s Gift project just weeks ago, he unleashes another banger produced by Pete Twist, and featuring fellow beat abuser, Born Unique, to share the mic. This song is just tough. The piano, the drums, and vocal sample by Twist, are an ominous precursor to verbal fireworks.
This is yet another single from Kings Throne 2 which is due out on August 22nd. Mark it on your calendar because all of these tracks have been tough.
Oh yeah!!!!! This song has got me so hype! Purpose (Tragic Allies) has a new project coming our called The Quintessential dropping soon and the whole body of work is produced by B.B.Z. Darney.
Darney is one of my favorite producers over the course of the last two or three years. He only produces brilliance and Purpose and Saigon each drop substantially dope verses in between scratches from DJ Philogic.
Whole joint is an A+
I wanted to share with you some music from man on fire, John Creasy. Did you get the reference there? If not study up. Haha. Creasy has a new project that dropped earlier this month called, Power. He has a strong delivery and cadence over this smooth, horn-laced production from Enrichment that I think the HHD audience is going to vibe with.
I can easily see him becoming a staple on the site. Check him out.
Apollo Brown and Locksmith launch the second single from their forthcoming album, No Question. The unison of Brown and Lock is that of deep seeded soul colliding with profound lyrical talent. The result has been amazing thus far. This song is beautiful through and through and a testament to what two great artists can accomplish together.
This album has all the potential in the world and we will be blessed with it’s presence in about a month. (June 15th to be exact)
