Single You Out: Taboo – Fog Light

He’s back! And he continues to do the exceptional! Taboo has a new single which is a precursor to a new album which I hope is on the way soon. I make no secret that when it comes to the power of the spoken word, no one is better. He illuminates thoughts, ideas, and feelings in the illest of fashions, and here he does so with the Fog Light accompanied with the superlative production of Tabinstereo. So please tap in and support great art!

Got to find your way through the comfortable lies and the brutal facts / Hoping that your Google Maps / Navigate you through the traps

O The Great – Cidade De Deus Pt. 2 (ft. Supreme Cerebral (Video)

O The Great is back with a new video single, Cidade De Deus Pt. 2, featuring long time collaborator, Supreme Cerebral. Here’s they are rocking over a production from appropriately titled producer, Isac No Beat. I say that because we have a drumless production which is either usually excellent, or something I will pass over quick. But since I posted it, you can imagine it is the former. The haunting vocal sample has more than enough charm to it as the emcees supply the artillery to make this joint pop.

Saipher Soze & Via Linez – 1911 Springfield Ave (Video)

I was just thinking yesterday: “When is Saipher Soze dropping some new music?” I had just listened to three of his impressive albums over the last few years, Kanibull Rising, Eat What You Kill, and Godbody. Then as I scroll IG, look what I find…I manifested a new Saipher Soze joint lol.

As an emcee he is highly underrated. His bars are tenacious. And equally up to the task with his own sixteen is Via Linez. Sharp bar work by both gentleman over a Lyve production.

Single You Out: Blame One – Bounce & Nod (Video)

Blame One has been a mic master for a long time, but also an artist who has been relatively quiet over the years. But legend has it, that he is back and has an EP coming out soon, appropriately called: Long Awaited. Bounce and Nod is the first single I have personally heard and is produced by Chill-Ill. It’s very laid back and jazzy, a really nice change of pace in today’s music. Horns, Keys, and dope rhymes! So lay in the cut and don’t miss!

Stu Bangas & Wordsworth – Mother Of My Kids (Video)

Stu Bangas and Wordsworth just released a project on Friday called, Two Kings. I copped it. I loved it. Stu Bangas has been crafting project after project over the course of the last several years. He’s got so many dope releases with so many dope emcees. But this could be my favorite. Wordsworth, while not recently prolific in his releases, has ALWAYS remained the consummate emcee. His conversational style and his way of narrating stories and concepts plays so well with Stu’s beats. And you can hear that trade craft here as he talks to his estranged spouse. Great song. Great album.

Single You Out: Supreme Cerebral – Sins Of The Father (ft. Eloh Kush & O The Great) (prod. by Swab)

I was excited back in April when I heard that Supreme Cerebral and Swab were linking for a project, Son Of Hannibal.   I knew this would be a great combination.  But then I didn’t hear anything for months.  And Supreme Cerebral was sharing music from other projects, and I just assumed it was tabled…but that’s what I get for assuming.   With the release of the single, Sins Of The Father, we get another taste of what is possible…this beat by Swab is sensational.    I love the vocal loop.   And Cerebral, Eloh Kush, and O the Great drop scorching verses.

This album is going to be a sure shot.  Dropping in January!

Mickey Diamond & Big Ghost Ltd – Word Bond (Video)

It’s that time of year again!   The holiday season is filled with alot of things to be thankful for, and Mickey Diamond and Big Ghost Ltd is a prominent reason for thanks!   These two have developed a chemistry and combination we all look forward to.   As much as I love everything Mickey Diamond puts out there is something about the Gucci Ghost releases that just puts it up a notch above everything.   Word Bond is smooth, yet still bangs effortless. 

New album…Gucci Gambinos…out NOW!   Don’t wait!  Cop on Bandcamp and play at your Thanksgiving Dinner!

Single You Out: Swamp Thing – Who Let The Goblin Out

Admittedly I might have been near a decade late to what the trio of Timbuktu, Chokeules, and Sivilion were doing on Halloween as Swamp Thing. I went through the discography and I missed a ton, but I have stepped up my game over the last few years to get in tune with the creative boom bap these artists are creating every spooky season.

This year they released the B-Movie inspired banger, Slap Slap. This album is not only incredibly dope but also a lot of fun. Lyrically the emcees are so talented, dexterous, and always on theme. I could have picked any of the tracks off of the album to share but I am going with Who Let The Goblin Out. As that bass line…slaps slaps!

Single You Out: The 17th Cipher – The Myers Effect (ft. Spit Gemz, D. Goynz, Mar & Doza The Drum Dealer)

The 17th Cipher has been doing work in the month of October and I really didn’t want their “other” release to go unnoticed, because this Halloween project, The Myers Effect, is really dope. The highlight for me is the title track which features wordsmiths Spit Gemz, D. Goynz, Mar, and Doza The Drumdealer (who also produces the joint). This joint is tough all the way around should strike fear into the hearts of the suckas. But I really want to highlight someone on here that I really knew nothing about before hearing this track…third verse…Mar. That sixteen had me checking for his discography. Pay close attention.
