Willie The Kid and V Don are back at it and making audio magic with their new release of Deutsche Marks 4. This is continuing one of the most successful and beautiful music runs in hip hop. This is one of the elite pairings of emcee and producer. The music is smooth, yet ambitious, and sits in a different realm completely compared to what other artists are doing. When you hear the music…you hear ‘success’ and that’s the brand. so I suggest you stay connected to these artists and cop the album!
Single You Out: Bobby J From Rockaway & Dom Dirtee – Dangerous
Bobby J From Rockaway and Dom Dirtee release the first single from their forthcoming album, Higher, which drops in November. And this song is some high powered heat backed by the scratched of none other than DJ Evil Dee. And let me tell you this joint is dangerously addictive as a head nodder. This beat should come with a neck snap disclaimer. The bass line just speaks to the title of the track. And Bobby J is just so in step with this beat. His flow and pen, just hit this joint out of the park right off the back with lines like this…
Get up…follow me like a fucking Apostle…I embrace the abstract like I’m hugging Picassos
I mean c’mon! This is a top choice joint from what’s bound to be one of the best albums of 2024. Dom Dirtee and Bobby J are deeply rooted in this hip hop!
Single You Out: MaLLy – Doing Okay
It’s been a while since we have heard from MaLLy but if you dig through out archives you will see that this is an artist worth supporting. Exceptional talent. And on the track, Doing Okay, he strikes a chord over a melodic and harmonious production from Last Word. He’s speaking positivity and a heightened level of self. It sounds like this is a man who is at peace with himself and place he is finding in the world. Mature music and more coming on the way on October 15th when he releases the album, The Sweetest Of It All.

Tunnel Rats – Tell It (Video)
I was looking for something that would inspire me to touch up the blog and here it is. The Tunnel Rats unite again for the track, Tell It. And there is so much to love here. First off it’s a union of talent that has not been diminished with time. The pen game is super sharp and the flows are crisp the opportune and positive lyricism. And it’s a family affair here…it’s almost like a cipher developed at family barbecue, and then the fun began. Really gald to see and here this today! Definitely something for you to enjoy.
Single You Out: Premrock & Willie Green – Imposter Syndrome
Premrock and Willie Green are musical genius. I have always enjoyed the music they create together. They compliment each other perfectly. Premrock’s pen game moves complicity with Willie Green’s score. And I really do feel he is “scoring” the lyrical landscape. What the two have is thoughtful chemistry and it’s so great to hear them work together.
I could have easily picked any of the six tracks from Through Lines to share with you but why not go with the lead track, Imposter Syndrome. Listen to the piano sample trail underneath impeccable poetry and those drum patterns leave their indelible mark.
Alias Blekaut – These Days (ft. M-Dot and Kore) (Video)
Polish producer Alias Blekaut has got something cooking overseas right now with a project entitled The Long Flight coming up. He’s solicited some US emcees to flip on some of his production and here we have none other than long time friends and collaborators M-Dot and Kore delivering that relateable lyricism over a dope beat. Life is more than just comments and tag lines and M-Dot continues to give us that soul, fire, and angst with his pen and his cadence while Kore’s chorus is that tie that binds it all together. Really dope. Can’t wait to hear more off of this project.
Sean Links – Cold Chillin (prod. Ral Duke) (Video)
Sean Links and Ral Duke are bringing that funky and fly shit with their new single. Cold Chllin. Definitely has that 70s old school vibe going with it and it’s a very intentional joint. And Links sounds razor sharp with is pen on this one and his flow just seems breathless on this.
…I’m cold, it’s going to be a harsh winter…
XP The Marxman & cvrrister – Rare Opals (Video)
New video off of XP The Marxman and Cvrrister’s project, Terremotto. And I really love this joint because it’s laid back, melodic, and just a sound to vibe off too while hearing. XP is on some really smooth ish with this, and it almost has a meditative quality to it. Close your eyes and let the music take you.
Wax & DJ Hoppa – Fantastic Grace (Video)
Right now anything that DJ Hoppa is on is gold to me. His productions really speak to me. I just love the music he is creating. Here he links up with Wax for a very laid back and melodic joint. It’s been a while since I have personally heard from Wax, but I always loved his conversational and somewhat nonchalant style. Just very chill and personalbe. This is a great combination!
Daniel Son & Finn – Dance Of the Drunken Mantis (Video)
Daniel Son is on a mighty tear through the streets and your eardrums this time backed by th ealways impressive production of Finn. Dance Of The Drunken Mantis, is a journey through the streets and mindset of the future “Bush Doctor Millionaire”. And the man has many styles and skills, so always pay attention when that music drops!
Hare Brained Schemes dropping October 4th!
