John Reilly narrates three stories of rejection in the romance game over a production from Rediculous. Reilly addresses every man’s worst nightmare from Elementary School to High School, but then hits you with word of perseverance on the third verse. This is a refreshing track to be sure.
Easily Crippled – Take Away My Sins (Video)
Easily Crippled give us a video single from his album, Demented Logic. It’s a little bit twisted and demented but all the way dope. I love the derivation in the beat especially when it hits the chorus. And Easily Crippled spits an assortment of solid bars but hits another level when he starts going Old Testament. Peep game.
Lucky Dice – Memoirs (Video)
Lucky Dice gets introspective in regards to his life and his music with his latest video single, Memoirs. This song is uptempo and upbeat, certainly adding to the inspiration of the day.
Dice’s album, M.O.S.A. is dropping in about 15 minutes…cop that.
Ren Thomas – Oil & Water (Video)
Is it the music or is it the woman? Ren Thomas doesn’t have a choice in his new single Oil & Water. Hip Hop is just ingrained in Thomas just as is oxygen to air. The track has a bluesy feel to it as the emcee put his feelings to in the bars. It hurts to lose somebody that you love, when you can’t change something intrinsic in yourself.
If you don’t have his album, I Been Nice, you definitely need to check it. Incredibly dope!
Rob Viktum – Shoot The Messenger (ft. Lil’ Fame, Skrewtape & Guilty Simpson) (Video)
Rob Viktum’s album, Shoot The Messenger, actually drops at midnight tonight on all the digital outlets and this is the title track from the album. You’ve got the grimiest of the grimy on this joint. It’s a tough lineup of emcees with Lil Fame, Skrewtape, and Guilty Simpson on the mic. The production almost has a TV Score feel. Really dope.
I can’t wait to peep the project.
L.I.F.E. LONG & Bunty Beats – Foulness (Crazy Eights) (Video)
L.I.F.E. LONG and Bunty Beats are back at it again and they have a new album dropping on February 27th entitled, Bat Out The Cave. The track features eight emcees from across the globe with unique styles but all dope. Beats lays down some production that any emcee would be happy to flip on. Always worth checking when these guy are involved in the music. Don’t sleep on the forthcoming album!
DJ Ready Cee – Impala (ft. El Gant x J.Blanc) (Video)
Some new music from DJ Ready Cee featuring El Gant and J. Blanc, hit the inbox and when that happens, it’s always worth sharing. El Gant spits some gasoline over this fire production from Ready Cee. I love the sounds he cultivated on this joint, in particular that horn sample!
Always good stuff!
Everlast x Sick Jacken x Divine Styler – Dazed (Official Video)
I guess I really wasn’t up on Everlast, Sick Jacken, and Divine Styler’s collaborative project as WARPORN Industries. But I am keenly aware of the project now. I love the rock element exhibited on the track along with the industrial vibe.
This is really something interesting to check. The mixtape, War Porn, is out now. Check it out!
King Magnetic – Cash 4 Catastrophe (Video)
There’s holding these bars back from King Magnetic as he rocks over this Explizit One banger. What is a brawl for some is just slap boxing to Mag on this track as he has one of the strongest flows in the game, hands down. I can listen to his album over and over again. They present maximum replay value.
Speaking of albums, make sure you check his new one, Everything Happens 4 A Reason dropping March 31st.
Single You Out – Marlon Craft – Empathy
I was searching through someone’s Twitter feed for something and I came across this artist, Marlon Craft. There was a picture of him rocking’ a crowd and I thought I would check him out. I am left considering him a force to reckoned with. HIs style is really different and the production he uses has a very jazzy vibe. I think he is a unique talent to be sure. Check out the rhymes on this track.
