Singles, Albums, EPs, Mixtapes, and Videos that get the HHD thumbs up.
Hip Hop Dependency family, Cayoz, is back with a new single that is simply put…fuego. He’s teaming up with producer O*Zee (who is a dope emcee by the way) and Mayhem and Revalation of EMS. It’s a union of dopeness. Then you got Jabbathakut chopping it up, making this the sure shot.
Relay on the mic!
Saint Joe arrives on our pages with the crack of thunder. It looks like it’s been out for a while and I just missed it. The best way for me to describe this track with Chino XL and Chris Rivers is rawkus! The beat strikes like controlled chaos, while the emcees release an unrelenting fire. In particular Chino XL drops some ridiculously rapid fire delivery.
Thinning Out The Herd drops on August 5th and is available for Pre-Order.
IDE releases the third single from his near impeccable album with Lucky Loopiano, Breathe Easy. However, while most of the album is produced by Loopiano, this one is self-produced. This makes sense since IDE is an extremely accomplished producer.
If you are still late on checking the album, make sure you rectify that immediately.
Any cut with Chino XL is bound to be a win. Have you ever heard a wack bar from the man? Let me answer…no never. Over 20 years in this game and every verse has been incomparable.
You can say the same here over this E. Smitty production. The production provides the same level of intensity that Chino XL delivers.
I hope E. Smitty is working on an album because from what I have heard he has a great taste for beats and ear for working with the best emcees.
I know many of you may not be up on the group Third Sight, but this team has been at it on the Left Coast for well over a decade. The unit is comprised of Roughneck Jihad, D-Styles, and Dufunk. And while it’s never been a steady stream of releases, it’s nice to se some new music from them.
Trife is music a slow-creeper that suggests you shouldn’t wander into dark alleys for too long, less you get your body snatched.
I hope that some new music is on it’s way…who knows…maybe an album?
A new video single from Bishop Lamont’s, The Reformation. Back Off Me features a battle scene scenario with West Coast legend, Xzibit. And the man sounds dangerously invigorated on this cut. There are bars upon bars on this joint making the visuals and the audible really dope.
I think you guys are going to feel this. The Reformation doesn’t have an exact drop date but I expect it to have one in a few weeks as it is slated for this summer.
We got some new visuals for Planet Asia and DJ Concept’s cut, International, lifted off their collaborative project Seventy Nine.
It’s a retrospective joint that features Asia reminiscing from his earlier years grinding in the streets to the international stage that he now entertains. The track is butter-smooth, and features vocals from Marvelous Mag.
For the last video single off the Blue Collar, Fortunato, releases the most mellow and chill joint from the project, Ain’t Nobody Know. This is a track that we can just sit back and vibe to. The project as a whole is real nice, so make sure you cop and support.
First single off of Shaz Ilyork’s forthcoming, Fly, High & Broke Pt. 2. This is a high intensity banger that set an ominous tone for the album as a whole. Illyork sounds like he is ready for big things for the remainder of the year. I also see that the album features a reunion with Spit Gemz. That shit should sound impeccable.
Here’s a rarity these days…a dope artist that we haven’tfeatured before! I got the album link from Buttatone’s new album, Tsunami, in my inbox, and I gave it a spin. And this is actually quite a dope project. Quite damn refreshing as I feel hip hop has gotten redundant and stale at this point.
