Singles, Albums, EPs, Mixtapes, and Videos that get the HHD thumbs up.
I love the flavor Respect Tha God brings to the microphone and IDE really provides a heater to get the party jumping. Shake It Up, to me, is about mixing up the game a little bit because shit can get a little monotonous with the same tired themes and flows. Respect That God gets things back to being enjoyable with this cut. Respect.
The new album, Work Ethic, is out now. Consider copping that!
When working a proper blog one of things you have to avoid is strictly promoting the same artists and turning a blind eye to rising talent. This is always a challenge when I think about how I divide my time for what I listen to. Well, I just happened to check out this track from an artist out of Houston called GC. That is a good thing because it also so happens that the track is pretty dope. GC seems lyrically apt on this joint and I would be anxious to hear more from him, as should you.
Another single from Apathy’s forthcoming project, Weekend At The Cape. New England Royalty has a little bit of soul integrated with a heavy dosage of boom bap. The production switches up in the middle of the track and Apathy’s flow gets a little more malicious.
Apathy’s longevity and his ability to continuously make dope music is a testament to his talent. There are not many in his class. The aforementioned project, along with another, The Black Lodge, are dropping on June 30th.
It looks like the Kue The Vandal and Dope Antelope are back in the lab and working on a new project entitled, Me And The Devil. When these two link up there’s always a diabolical concoction to be found. Kue’s mindset really intertwines with Dope Antelope’s haunting productions as you can hear with their single, Died In 87′.
Stay tuned!
We featured the single not that long ago, and now we got the video from Allen Poe and Deejay Element for the track Still Eatin. The music speaks for itself and I stand behind my initial comments that this is a contender for a top ten track of the year.
!llmind lends a banger to Sketch McGuiney and his comrades K-Beta and Cuban Link. It’s music like this that lets you know that hip hop is alive and well and when placed in the right hands can still stimulate ear drums. This joint really goes incredibly hard and I am so glad to hear K-Beta on a joint again. I also love the little subtleties in the track such as the line from The Usual Suspects integrated into the verses.
If you are not up on Sketch and this song has piqued your interest, check his joint from a few years ago, Virginia Tec-9. He’s got a new mix tape dropping entitled, Handle Bars. Don’t sleep!
Everything I have heard from the forthcoming album, 14 Forms: The Book Of Estee Nack, indicate that this is a true contender for album of the year. The flow of Estee Nack is relentless. He has an over abundance of relevant bars that he’s dropping and he spits them with such vigor that you can’t help but notice. Purpose also seems to do no wrong with the production. Everything thing he crafts hits hard and is musically interesting.
Album drops next Tuesday!
Shabaam Sahdeeq and J57 are cheffing something delicious with their new single, GMR. I am convinced that nobody is has been spitting harder in the last couple of years than Shabaam Sahdeeq and when you had some J57 production along with DJ Eclipse cuts you get nothing but the premiere experience. Enjoy.
Ah, the burden of misplaced love and trust is the topic Red Eye is rocking with over this DJ Supa Dave remix. I know that you all can understand this message. Trust nobody…
Hopefully this Fatrick Ewing project will be dropping sometime soon.
The Serge Severe and Gen.Erik collaboration has been a long time and coming as the two have known each other for seven years. But better late than never as the two are teaming up for a project due out later on this year. For the single, Say Nothing, you get nothing less than vintage Severe flipping over some hard hitting drum from Gen.Erik.
