Wow. I am so glad Ras Kass dropped something with regards to the election because he is the absolute right person to articulate what happened and what this means for our country. This is not only the most powerful song of this election period, but perhaps for the last several years. He addresses the apathy of not voting in the election. He addresses the hate different segments of the population used when it came to voting. In the end, it was hate that inspired and apathy that derailed.

“Trump won with less votes than McCain and Romney who both lost, so blame yourself when your Civil Rights get fucked off!”

“Claim to be the beacon of the world, Liberty’s Flame, you just a nation of bigots, we should all be ashamed.“

I didn’t realize that Only had dropped a new project until Illmaculate put it out there on Twitter. But once I found out about Royalties, I was all over it. There’s something about this guy’s rhyme style, cadence, and delivery that I identify with. He’s got a unique way of flipping words and meanings. Then you’ve got production from Chase Moore all over the project. His ear for beats and samples is impeccable, as he concocts nothing but winners. You can hear that victory on this track, Toxic.

If you find it dope, drop by the Bandcamp, show some love and pick up the album.

LX-Beats drops some smooth violence with this new single featuring Mayhem, Alyssa Marie, Revalation, and Deacon The Villain on the mic. You also get track-blesser, DJ Grazzhoppa, chopping up the cuts on the joint. The production is laid back and mellow, which leaves the emcees to each fire off reasons why they are not to be tested. All of the bars are dope, but Rev really brings a ton of intensity to his verse, only to be contrasted with the slick bars of Deacon The Villain. There’s lots to like about this joint!

The Flying Dutchman just released an album, Foul Weather, on Friday entirely produced by professional head-knocker, Vanderslice. In addition to Vanderslice, the team is comprised of emcees John Murdock and Lex Starwind. In addition to bars from those two, you also get a dope verse from Cappadonna. The sample used by Vanderslice is nasty, and I love that beat.

If you like those hard rhymes and banging beats, you need to get your hands on this release.

Spit Gemz is dropping a mixtape, See Me When I Die, on Christmas Day no less! So we are all getting a gift this year! Violence Revisited showcases Gemz rhyming over a DJ Skizz instrumental from his project from a few years ago, BQE. In my mind, this was the dopest beat off of the project, and Gemz kills it unlike anybody else…violently.
