I love introducing a new artist to our audience, and Coast is definitely worthy of some recognition as he delivers that Hood Rat Shit over these horns produced by Sound State Beats. He has the voice that just cuts through the noise with that grimy and gritty flair.
To catch more from Coast, you can download his latest project for free, March First.
When it comes to Heddshotts and Junior Makhno, they are all about bringing you that hardcore hip hop. And this track, Get Ready, is just the first shot from the salvo. Their project, Circus of the Freaks, will be dropping on December 16th. This track is a little reminiscent of some Gravediggaz material. Enjoy.
New loosie from oft supported Little Vic, this time with production from Skammadix. Still current word of his album that’s been discussed for years but every once in a while he delivers some newness to keep the name buzzing. A tenacious lyricist, no doubt.
So this is the way the war begins? Damn. This shit was over before it started. First off, Billy Loman, murked this beat. This production is among the illest you will hear this year. And Term is on a roll. He has had some serious bangers over the course of the career but his fire is getting hotter as hit career progresses. Blanco and Rivers are also unleashing some serious mayhem on this joint.
Term’s new album, Shut Up And Rap, is dropping next week and I will definitely be picking this up.
Taiyamo Denku put me on to his latest piece of work, Bottom To The Top, produced by Dcypha. My first thought when hearing this track is that this is hype hip hop lullaby. The music from Dcypha definitely lends itself to a more mellow approach but these emcees are not interested in anything soft. Denku, Black Rob, and Urban Legend all drop some hard hard bars with their own unique stylings. Stay tuned for more music from Denku. Dude is always working.
I feel like I have been waiting for this Vorheez album, Say Anything, for a couple of years at least. Both Vorheez and producer LuvJonez take a laid back approach to this latest cut, Leverage. The production has almost a melodic quality to it while Vorheez’s voice cascades many dope bar across it.
As soon as I hear that the album is dropping, I will let you all know.
This new cut from The AbSoulJah kind of left fielded me as I had no idea this was coming. I have always been down to support this man and his art. He always keeps it live with that boom bap hip hop but this song takes it up a few notches as the production from I.N.C.H. Beats is on some epic shit. That’s the perfect landscape for Ab to narrate his tale of revenge. I am not sure if this is part of a bigger project, but even as a standalone track, this is a must listen.
Gripz comes back with a ferocious new single from his forthcoming album which will hopefully be dropping in the first quarter of 2015. This song provides an intensity that is currently missing in the game. Gripz’s flow seems more tenacious than ever. If the album maintains this kind of lyrical fury we could all be in for something special.
Cool FD is a great producer but this is one of his very best from this year and he’s linking up with the right team in Revalation from EMS. These guys deliver a true banger with seamless effort.
