Man, this song is tough, and even takes on a new appeal with video. In this way you can see Spit Gemz expressions while spittin’ his ridiculous wordplay over this Junior Makhno beat.
You can find this dope cut in two places, Spit Gemz released, Godly Features, and Makhno’s recetnly released, Clandestinity. Now all we need is a fully collaborative project between the two because this track sounds so good!
Slant from the Heddshotts crew has a new single in prelude to his album, MCMLXXXIV, which is due out on July 19th. If you are a fan of that boom-bap, then you are going to want to pick that up. Slant has put in some serious work over the years with the crew, and it’s time to shine. This song combines a little soul with a little rugged…so feast on that.
The Spic Academy is back at it again with a third single from their forthcoming project, and we would expect nothing iller. This one is a quick hitter but good things come in small packages, so appreciate that!
Red Pill (Ugly Heroes) has got a new project, Instinctive Drowning, that has a release date for late August. Fuck Your Ambition, again has the listener seeing life through the lens of Pill. So all you strivers and motivators…you can stuff it. It’s Pill’s unique take on ‘ambition’ that really gets those thoughts moving.
You want a posse cut that’s absolutely full of dope lines? Check out this track from SpiderdaGod, God Save The Crown. He’s assembled some of the illest, yet underrated spittas in the game. This song is intense with bars from Nino Bless, Ness Lee, K-Rino, and Miilkbone.
In my mind, Junior Makhno, is a top flight producer but sometimes his work might go unnoticed, but here’s an opportunity for you to catch up for the price of FREE. Clandestinity is a compilation of tracks that Makhno has produced over the course of the last few years with well-known, and some lesser-known artists. It’s entirely dope. Listen here if you like!
I was just checking Popoff’s new project, Gutter Radio, and this song is the first cut off the project. It hits you in the face, and leaves a little bit of a sting. Heavy hitting music right here. The beat is the warning and the verses are the promise.
Check it!
Oh shit! What is this coming out of Connecticut and why haven’t I heard it before! Damn. This emcee Blak Flag has an incredible flow and grimy delivery. This track is instant greatness in my book. Sherm LaRock is hooking up this banging production, and between the emcee and the producer here, I think you have a top level track for 2016.
If you are feeling this track, why don’t check out the project, Underdog Religion.
Here are the visuals to Shaz Illyork’s single, Heatstroke, which we showcased last week. Obviously Illyork is back and primed to deliver those hard-edged lyrical bangers that he is known for. New project is on it’s way this summer. I am excited to give it a listen.
Ras Kass is getting set to release Intellectual Property: Soul On Ice 2 and this is the first cut made public from the project. I am loving this joint. I can only hope that the album carries this level of intensity. I am really feeling the production. The emcees are all spitting incredible bars and I love how the track finishes with Sticky Fingaz “will” line.
