You want to know what the best EP of the year is thus far? Look no further than the project, Bold, from Blame One, Harry Apollo, and JonJ, also known as Big Block Silvers. This is some of the most beautiful hip hop I have heard as of late. There are six tracks, all of which are incredibly impressive. You can hear the amalgamation of dope on this track, Crime in the City, where boom bap, sound, and lyricism collide. You can not help but be impressed here. Cop this project. It is worth every penny.
Kaimbr – Kragenoff (ft. Kev Brown) (Video)
It’s been a minute since I have hard some new from Kaimbr, and whenever I do hear something, it’s always impressive. He actually crafted one of my favorite releases of all time, The Alexander Green Project. When he and Kev Brown get together, magic just seems to happen. This soulful joint is lifted off the forthcoming project, Share The Shelter.
Single You Out: Supreme Cerebral x Born Unique x Banish Habitual – Massacre (Prod. By Clypto)
Some new, new from producer Clypto’s (I am presuming since I can not find it yet) forthcoming project, #TheLoop. This is some rough stuff right here. The production is pretty straightforward, allowing emcees Supreme Cerebral, Born Unique, and Banish Habitual leave a wake of carnage on the track.
When I get more information on the project, I will let you know.
G.S. ADVANCE – CounterClockwise (Video)
I am really loving this cascading beat from producer, Sharp Grizwold. It has kind of a “beach” vibe that melds perfectly with the boom bap flavor that G.S. Advance is putting to record. Really dope material that his hopefully a precursor to more when his EP, Absinthe, drops.
Born Unique – Saturday Night Special (Video)
This is some hard material off of Born Unique and Lucky Loopiano’s album, The Red Devil Chronicles. Just like this cut, the album is chocked full of raw rhymes, banging beats, and precise cuts. Unique and Loopiano really put together a sensational album, and you def need to check it.
Single You Out: GQ Nothin Pretty – High Quota (ft. Tragedy Khadafi)
Oh you want a banger! I got your banger right here with the new single, High Quota, from GQ Nothin Pretty featuring Tragedy Khadafi. The beat from DJ Tray is one of the heaviest yet in 2017. And the bars…oh these bars are like a musical massacre in the headphones.
If the rest of the new album, Animations, is remotely close to the quality of this track, we are in for a treat.
Pearl Gates & Syll – Symphonic (Video)
This song from Pearl Gates & Syll is dope, which also can be said for their entire EP, Play This. I really enjoy this project. There is Camp Lo type quality to these guys. It’s simply bringing the ‘cool’ back to music.
You need to check this out.
Single You Out: Asylum Lifetime & Tone Benjaminz – Sink Or Swim
Asylum Lifetime and Tone Benjaminz unleash a heat rock in the form of Sink Or Swim. A pulsing beat with raw rhymes will tread some new ground in the mental. It’s that heavy hitting sound that endears itself to HHD readership. Everything I have heard from Asylum Lifetime has been fire and this is no exception.
Pull The Fuckin’ Trigger – Night Vision (Video)
Man, talk about heat rocks! The NSD camp drops a video single for the new group, Pull The Fuckin’ Trigger. The team is comprised of DJ Bless, Donnie Darko, and Appollo Valdez and they are coming for heads with this new joint. I love it when Bless and Darko do their thing, and Valdez adds a new type of delivery to round out the squad.
I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to hear more.
Bankai Fam – Seen A Few Things (Video)
The talented team known as the Bankai Fam go over a few things that they have seen in the streets with their latest video single, Seen A Few Things. The fam never puts out anything close to weak, and these are some bars you are going to feel.
Check out the album, Civil War, which is out now!
