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.
Single You Out: Sketch McGuiney – Knuckleheads (ft. K-Beta & Cuban Link) (prod. !llmind)
!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!
Single You Out: Estee Nack & Purpose (of Tragic Allies) – When I Get High
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!
Single You Out: Shabaam Sahdeeq – GMR (prod. J57)
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.
Single You Out: Red Eye – Soul Mate (DJ Supa Dave Remix)
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.
Serge Severe and Gen. Erik – Say Nothing (Video)
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.
N.B.S. & Snowgoons – Trapped In America (Video)
This video is the title track from NBS and Snowgoons upcoming collaborative album, Trapped In America. There’s definitely some poignant imagery and lyricism to be had on this track as it pertains to abuses of authorities upon the Black Community in many different locales. It’s powerful stuff laced into your daily hip hop dose. It certainly helps that the Snowgoons laced a real banger.
The new album drops on July 4th and don’t think for one second that’s a coincidence.
Starvin B x Fel Sweetenberg – Eye Of The Storm (Video)
Who is on a bigger roll than Starvin B? No one. That’s who. He’s an emcee that is at the top of his game right now and when he flips over this Fel Sweetenberg beat, you can hear what all the fervor is about. The talent is real and I am sure he hasn’t even quite started yet. The sky is the limit for Starvin B.
Make sure you check out the entire Soul Museum project.
Single You Out: Allen Poe – Still Eatin (ft. Deejay Element)
Another “oh shit” moment that I had today was when I heard this new joint from Allen Poe and Deejay Element, which happens to be the title track from their forthcoming project dropping on June 9th.
First off this beat is one of the sickest I have heard this year or perhaps even the last. It’s soulful. It’s funky. It’s that boom bap. If this cut doesn’t get you open, you don’t have a pulse homie. And the verbals that Poe is dropping in his verses are legitimate jewels. The Frodo wordplay was just one of many notable moments during the track. I am anxious to hear this entire project. A possible Top 10 track for this year, ya heard?
Single You Out: MarQ Spekt – Murderface Splash [prod by Back Row]
MarQ Spekt releases more fire from his soon to be released album, The Grilchy Era. Spekt really attacks this synthed out goodness from Back Row. His aggressive demeanor gives the cut a certain amount of vibrancy as the production has a more of ethereal tone. A most certain dope product.
