The Last Emperor & Haak Filmore – Jungle Jim (Video)

The Last Emperor has always been one of my favorite artists. However, he only has one album to his credit (that I know of) and a handful of mixtape-esque projects.

Well, now word has come that he has an album coming out in 2017 (again titled Jungle Jim) produced by Haak Filmore. That’s damn exciting to think about. The Last Emperor is an extremely talented emcee and I hope the rest of the hip hop community has the opportunity to check it out. This song is just the tip of the iceberg for what is to come.

Single You Out: Bankai Fam – Urge2Purge

Bankai Fam is back with a new project called Civil War which is a consistently dope, 19 Track, mixtape. Bankai Fam has consistently dropped dope projects over the course of the last few years, most of them solo work. Now the group united for a full project for the first time since On My Side which dropped in 2013.

The track we are featuring here, Urge2Purge, is indicative of the dope cuts you can find across the board. The team is severing heads on this one and I strongly encourage you to cop the album.

Complex Fusion – Verbal Toxin (ft. Shadow The Great) (Video)

It’s great to hear a new group of young and talented artists who are representing Hip Hop in the right way.  The three emcees who flip on this smooth production are EXTREMELY talented and they really gel.   While they have distinct styles, their mentality on the song was the same and really made a cohesive joint.

Good hip hop groups are very hard to come by and these guys from Complex Fusion can do something special.  I can’t wait to hear more.

Snowgoons – Problems (ft. Locksmith x Skrewtape x Rite Hook (Video)

Problems can sometimes feel insurmountable but these emcees are going to take their best shot over a neuro-stimulating Snowgoons production.   Locksmith, Skrewtape, and Rite Hook each spit some bars about how the odds are stacked against them and each day can seem like a fist fight.  It’s an interesting combination of artists that create a dope and cohesive joint.

Goon Bap drops in four days…make sure you check it.

 

Code Nine & Purpose – When The Saints Out (Video)

Code Nine & Purpose have a new album that dropped last week, Below Sumerian Skies, that is pretty damn dope.  If you’re not familiar with Tragic Allies at this point, it’s about time you study up, and what better time than now? Purpose has produced some dope projects in the last couple of years and this is no different.  Code Nine is a very formidable emcee with intricate and clever word play.  As always, if you are feeling this cut, check the album.

Jake Palumbo – Exoskeleton (ft. Ruste Juxx & Tek of Smif-N-Wessun) (Video)

I forget what cut I heard Jake Palumbo rock on that made me check for him, but here he is with a new cut/video, Exoskeleton, off of his new album, Jake It Till You Make It.   This track is tough featuring heavy hitters Ruste Juxx and Tek.   I copped the album but haven’t given it a full listen, but given the strength of this cut and some of his guest shots, I am expecting a win.
