Singles, Albums, EPs, Mixtapes, and Videos that get the HHD thumbs up.
Here is some raw-raw from a group called the Highlanderz and there is no doubt that I am feeling this. This is some hard hitting lyricism and production being featured right here.
There is an EP on the way entitled 8 Headz In A Dufflebag and in listening to these cuts, this is an instant purchase.
New music from The Aztext? Yes, sir! I don’t think they have dropped anything since their album Four, and it’s really good to hear the Burlington duo again rock the mic.
Good Weather is a very laid back which is easy on the ears. Sometimes we need to take time to relax and stop checking our watches. It will all pass us by soon enough.
On the second half of the single we have Pass The Mic, which is a more traditional hip hop joint. You can envision the emcees gathered in a circle and trading verses over a beatbox.
Let’s hope a new project is in the works!
How do you like this? Mr. Complex and none other than El Fudge are back together blessing the mic with an assist from Dres. The lyrical wizardry may have taken a few years off but back as sharp as ever. According to sources, Complex has a new album dropping produced by Mortal 1 coming later this year.
Now can I get a new El Fudge project? Thank you!
New video single off of Superior’s latest album, The Journey. And this video features none other than EMS cohorts, M-Dot and Revalation. The song, Earn It, is the perfect track for these guys to put a little perspective on the game. So many acts are just flash in the pans who have paid absolutely no dues. They expect just to show up and have it handed to them. EMS perfectly embodies the mentality that hard work and talent pay off.
Cop this album. Lots of good joints on here.
Dead Rabbits members get together to rock over a joint that at first listen takes a medieval tone, but then heads right into the teeth go that boom-bap sound. Julius Sleazer, Words, and Rated R take you on an audible journey over this beat from Sultan Mir. Enjoy!
Here is some murder music from Rated R, featuring I.N.F., Klive Kraven, and J.A.I. Pera. You will find nothing here but hard rhymes and and a piano driven banger from Silly Grinn. This is definitely something to get you amped up!
This is my favorite track off of the like-titled album from Page Kennedy. The beat has an asian flair to it but it’s really Kennedy’s passion in what is to be construed as an autobiographical track that gets you. There’s hate, there’s indifference, and it all comes across as being raw emotion, wrapped up in dope lyricism and story telling ability.
I am not sure about anything on this Koncept track other than the fact that it is dope. He’s taking us back to the school yard on this one and causing a hell of a lot of trouble. I am not sure who produced this joint as no credits are included, but whoever is responsible did a remarkable job.
What else can I tell you about this track other than the fact it is one of the illest tracks that arrived in the first quarter of this year. GQ Nothin Pretty and Tragedy Khadafi really go get it aggressively on this DJ Tray beat. Just a tough cut off of GQ Nothin Pretty’s album, Animation. Don’t miss out!
You are either part of Bankai Nation, or you aren’t. There is no gray area. As for me and my squad, we are definitely on board. This new joint from Bankai Fam is an anthem of sorts produced by Astronote from their latest project, Civil War. Check that out if you are late to the party!
