Nutso releases his lead single for the new year in the form of the track Red Light. And you know he is delivering that heat in the coldest of seasons. These bars are tough over some high speed production from G’Sparkz.
Always been a fan of Nutso and expecting some more fire from him in 2018.
Evidence is back with his third single from his forthcoming album, Weather Or Not, which is dropping in a couple of weeks. 10,000 Hours doesn’t disappoint in the least. How could it? You’ve got Evidence’s trademark delivery, backed by a legend in DJ Premier’s production.
You can pre-order the album, everywhere so make sure you get on that.
One Be Lo showcases why he has been an elite emcee spanning well over a decade. The way he integrates Bible books with athlete names and assortment of other recognizable entities is just damn amazing. People’s pen game simply aren’t as clever as this. There are very few writing on this kind of level. Really brilliant.
I CAN NOT wait for the new Binary Star album, LightY ears Apart to drop. If the songs are just half this dope, it’s going to be all the way remarkable.
Chase Moore is an exceptional producer. His work behind the boards has always been exceptional. But he’s not only that, he’s an accomplished emcee. I listened to his new project and found it to be a really dope listen especially when bumping in the whip. My favorite track of the project is the closing one, Ozark. So give it a listen and if you are feeling it, be sure to check the album, Sweet Aromatic.
M-Dot and Effiscienz? Yes, please! M-Dot is legit at the peak of his game and Effiscienz is THE label right now. It has an outstanding habit of dropping outstanding albums every year. And you know what it did a week or so ago? It dropped the appropriate titled, Out Of Nowhere, that features some of the best doing it right now. DJ Brans on the boards for this one which gives this cut certified status. Enjoy the duo’s music as they run through Paris like nobody’s business.
Kyle Hubbard is the connector of audiences and people. He speaks the music of the community. Just one of my favorite artists since I have been running this site. His music just speaks to me on that human level. This song has that unplugged, acoustic vibe, brought to you by Without A Face (ironic, ain’t it).
At any rate, watch the video, share…and cop the album, All Good Things Come.
Yo! I purchased this Gary Rue album, Every Shrink’s Wet Dream, and it is teetering on fantastic! The production which is vastly handled by Sultan Mir is on point and Rue can spit some fire. If I was to give an album, a numeric rating, which I very well may start doing we may be looking at an 8.5 out of 10. It’s that good.
To represent this album, I chose the cut Creatures Of Habit because not only is it a fire track that represents hip hop to the fullest, but also features K-Beta. I love Beta. I always have. It’s good to hear him on the mic.
Check this album out! It won’t disappoint!
I think I may have mentioned this before but Cashus King (f/k/a Co$$) is one of my favorite artists, period. The way he weaves personality, soul, hip hop, social commentary, and a kind of spiritualtity is just something to behold. No one is doing what he is doing with the mic. He is in a league of his own. All of the above qualities and skills can be found in this song, The World Made. And that track can be found on his new project, Figure 8, which dropped last month…and dropped FREE OF CHARGE. But be kind and drop some coin on it…I guarantee it’s worth it’s weight.
A.L. Laureate reached out to me a week or so ago to share his new project, Precautionary Measures with me. What separates Laureate from the pack is that he just bends the language differently from the rest. There’s a lot of depth in his music that may not be captured on first listen, which gives his music great replay value. So consider his new project a break from the mundane and a neuro-stimulus package. Enjoy…and check my favorite track from the project, A Cold Day, featuring SoulSeeker.
