I really feel the music that Archie Bang has put out thus far and even though this song is obviously released in conjunction with the latest Wick movie, it doesn’t make in any less dope. If anything this is one of the dopest hip hop cuts that may play during cinema this year. Respect what Bang brings to the table over this sinister production from maticulous.
Pawz One – Death From Above (ft. King Magnetic) (Video)
This is one of the dopest songs from Pawz One’s F.U.C.K! album that dropped last year. It features King Magnetic and an assortment of fresh lyricism that brings death to the competition.
If you are unfamiliar with Pawz One, I think it’s time for you get up on the man’s music. This is also the perfect time to mention Magnetic has a new project dropping on March 31st, entitled, Everything Happens 4 A Reason. Be ready for that!
Single You Out: Awaxx – Bring It Back (ft. Griff Cowan)
Awaxx, Griff Cowan, and Sultan Mir combine to show their disdain for the current state of commercial hip hop. You get the traditional boom bap flavor with the horns and heavy drums from Sultan Mir, while Awaxx and Cowan showcase their love for hip hop in lyricism.
If I am reading the Bandcamp page right, it looks like Mir and Awaxx have a collaborative album in the works. That should be dope.
Single You Out: Malachi x Interstate Mook – Liu Kang (ft. Case)
It’s been a minute since we have featured some NSD flavor, but this is a nice start for 2017. Malachi delivers a slightly sinister production on Liu Kang for guests Interstate Mook and Case to spit some unsavory bars over.
It’s decisively different from the typical NSD flavor but equally as potent.
Statik Selektah & Quadir Lateef – Exorcism (Video)
Man, it’s hard to get any more intense than Quadir Lateef gets on this Statik Selektah banger, Exorcism. I mean good gawd! This might be the most serious bars spit in 2017 thus far. I have always been a fan of Lateef and pick up anything he puts out, but this on this track he really is trying to exorcise some demons, fa real!
Chapee – Feel It (Video)
I love sharing a new artist with new music. On this track, Chapee and producer Max I Million channel their inner Pete Rock and CL Smooth. The Swedish emcee flows effortlessly in English which I will presume is his second language. He puts the majority of US emcees to shame with his gift. This joint is straight butta.
Check the EP if you are impressed, Feel It.
Dro Pesci – Harsh Reality (Video)
I’ve been meaning to share this video from Dro Pesci. The dude is nice with his and doesn’t get enough credit for the skill he possesses. Harsh Reality has that grimy flavor but features Pesci’s smooth delivery.
Make sure you check out his latest project, When I Blow Up, Don’t Show Up Vol. 4
Venomous2000 x Trilian – Psalms 76 (Video)
Psalms 76 is one of my favorite tracks, if not the favorite, off of Venomous2000 and Trilian’s new album, Sounds Of The Great Ones. This is track is about bars in relentless abundance from Venomous over a high octane banger from Trilian. There is a method and a message to the music…just listen up and catch it. And definitely make sure you check this album. It’s not going to be one to pass on.
Single You Out: Spit Gemz – Heavens Dungeon (ft. Chino XL)
Some new ill from Spit Gemz is a sight for sore eyes, and when you couple his high level of skill with a guest verse from the gawd Chino XL shit just becomes sublime. Stu Bangas laces the production and the emcees unleash salvo after salvo of heat. It’s honestly a lot of dope to take in for one cut.
I can’t wait for the project.
Fatal Lucciauno – Speaking In Tongues (Prod Antwon Vinson) (Video)
It’s been a while since I have heard from Fatal Lucciano, but I really love the music he had put out a few years ago, and I am glad to hear this new tune. Not many are going to comprehend what Lucciano is speaking on because when he speaks the truth, peeps will prolly just stop and stare.
I think he has a new project dropping and I will let you know a little more about it when I have more information.
