Note:

I have been a fan of Freestyle Fam ever since I got a hold of their Unleashed project last year.  They showed and unbelievable array of skill on the microphone on that release, and they continue to demonstrate those skills when they link up with Grammy nominated producer, The Kracken.

Quest the Wordsmith and Mike Testa are grizzled emcees.  Don’t let the “Christian” moniker lead you into the illusion that they are not lyrical or can’t drop it heavy.  Their lyricism is intricate and rugged.  And when you combine that prowess on the mic device with The Kracken’s ability to develop head knockers, you undoubtedly have a winner here.

Make sure you check this release and check out ANY product Freestyle Fam puts out.  They are the truth!

Rayce – Heaven (Video)

Rayce unveils his latest soulful offering with the video for the track, Heaven. Cookbook embellishes upon the soul by putting together a production that itself almost sounds preachy.   We debuted the single a month or so ago but the visuals just accentuate the music.   There’s a lot of artistry involved by just the scenery used and the venues chosen.

Be on the lookout for more music from Rayce as we will continue to support his endeavors.

Single You Out: Serge Severe – The Vigil

I am going to have to find out more about this effort.   Serge Severe is back and with a definitive vengeance.  This production from Maze Rockwell is filthy and Severe’s flow is like a running river over this beat.   The content is quite relevant as well. Don’t get caught in the rat race.  There are different measures to a man’s success.  Well said Serge…well said.

I hope this is part of a greater collaborative effort because this song goes.

Single You Out: Big Lo – Judas (ft. Chaundon and Tommy 2 Face)

Here’s a dark jam from artist, Big Lo.  The beat by The Gemstones is littered with ominous piano keys, machine gun bullets, and various sound effects.  Joining Big Lo on the cut is Chaundon and Tommy 2 Face and they are all about to strike fear here in the hearts of their enemies.  So lick a shot!

Big Lo has an album in the distant horizon entitled, Umbrellas and Green Olives, dropping on March 31, 2015.

Aileron (Ascend) – Fall In Place (Ft. ¡MAYDAY!) (Video)

This song started off pretty laid back but then Aileron had to go in a little deeper with his verse giving you some real shit to contemplate.  The vibe and the hook are all pretty mellow, so you can lean back, chill, and then contemplate on how your day should go.  This is a good cut to listen to on my way to work…it ain’t that serious.

You can check out Aileron’s album, Flight Risk.  It’s a free download so you might as well give it a listen if you dug this song.

Buggs Tha Rocka – Bad Habits (Video)

I’ve been sitting on this video from Buggs Tha Rocka but now it’s time to unleash this new talent on the site.  The song Bad Habits has that church/blues feel to it and Bugs is pretty crafty with his wordplay.  “The only rapper to pull the sword out the stone.”    The man’s lyricism is pretty ambitious but the talent is there to back it up.  He will have a new album entitled Scattered Thoughts Of An American Poet.   That will be made available to the public on December 4th.

Single You Out: Divine – Check It Out

If it wasn’t for artists like Divine doing their thing, hip hop would be getting closer to death every day.  Thankfully there are new artists like this who keep the culture well and alive by making that boom bap hip hop that this music was built upon.   This song is a straight banger and instantly makes you take stock in what Divine is able to contribute to the M-I-C.   He has his debut album dropping in two weeks entitled, Ghetto Rhymin.  Now you know!

Single You Out: These Handz – New World Order (ft. Jmega, Don Streat & Macabeats)

a2903625273_10

These Handz is comprised of producer Sparkii Ski and DJ Grazzhoppa and they are all about that boom bap hip hop flavor. We have here two mixes of the same song but they are both banging so I wanted to feature both.  I have mentioned Grazzhoppa countless times on here and he has never been a part of a bad project or song.  Everything he has done has been the premium project.

On this song we have JMega from True Masterz rocking with Don Streat and Macabeats from the Animal Pak.  It’s lyrically fire which blends perfectly with the fire of the production and scratching.  The remix from Mighgawd is more of a down tempo pace that has more of a rock influenced flavor behind it but it’s dope nonetheless.   Make sure you give these a listen.
