Madchild and Slaine combine to form the group Supreme Villain for a track that taps on their depravity and anxiety. And who is the perfect person to provide the hook for a song of this nature? None other than the dirty-hook specialist, Rite Hook.
Illa Ghee – Razor Blade Vomit (Video)
Illa Ghee is back with a video from his 2014 album, Social Graffiti.The Amazing SB laces the dark piano chords and crashes the symbols while Illa Ghee channels the inner viking in him and rips some tyrannical bars.
Single You Out: Goldini Bagwell – Climb Trees
This is some new Goldini Bagwell from his recently announced, Smoker’s Jacket series. He will be dropping a new single on the 14th of every month. This production from Dalton Jay gives Bagwell a lot of room to breathe and lends itself to creative license.
Stay tuned for more dope.
Single You Out: Union Blak – Street English
I am not up on Union Blak but the project is put out by the Effiscienz camp which has been on a roll as of late (ie Fel Sweetenberg’s latest album). Street English is a nice track that has a throwback appeal ala Gangstarr in the mid 90s and it happens to be the title track for the album dropping on February 9th.
Mad Child – Mental (ft. Demrick) (Video)
New video from Madchild’s forthcoming album, Silver Tongue Devil, which also serves as an introduction to the newest member of the Battle Axe family, Demrick. Madchild drops tha demented lyricism and Demrick has a very straight forward and heavy flow. C-Lance on the production.
Single You Out: Little Vic – Ashtray (prod. by Slyvestbeats)
Little Vic is firing up the new music with some intelligent wit over some slick production by Slyvestbeats. I mean who else can incorporate Machiavelli and the Borgias into a verse? I think that’s a little too Italian for y’all. At any rate, I can’t wait for his new mixtape, The Loosies Collection to drop.
DJ Jean Maron – Jenny (ft. M-Dot)
The art of story telling is on full display with this bonus track from DJ Jean Maron’s latest album, True School. And who does he solicit to write the story to the music, none other than M-Dot. And he weaves the hard luck tale to perfection.
Single You Out: Cashus King – Sin
Cashus King (fka Co$$) is back with a new album, CHURCH (of the good thief). This is one of the iTunes bonus cuts from the album and he packs a lot of soul and feeling into this song. The thing that separates Chasus from his contemporaries is the way he melds mortality into the thoughts of the divine. Nobody relates concepts of humanity quite like him. I can’t wait to check the album.
Born Allah – Westside (ft. Lucky I Am & J-Ro)
The ‘W’ is back in the building with Born Allah leading the pack. And he’s got LuckIAm and J-Ro helping to represent the Left Coast on this joint with a funky bass line aptly entitled, Westside. Good rhymes. Good vibes.
