Single You Out: M-Dot – Today (ft. E.M.S.)

MD2020-WORK-CD-SIZE-PART-2-500X500

 

This song just made my week.  No matter what happens the rest of the week, this song from M-Dot and company is a major win!  The bass line on this jawn made my neck sore.   And the flows…my god the flows, were impeccable.  M-Dot can stay silent for months and then drop a gem like this and instantly remind us of his greatness.  And I meant to use that word…great.  He has a really sophisticated way with words when rocking the mic. The jam definitely has an old school appeal but easily something I could see getting some universal love.

Jake LaDOTta drops for free tomorrow and may knock some of these end of the year lists on their heads.  Check back at DJ Booth for the good word…

Single You Out: Adam Zombie – Pilgrim State

a3588134982_10

 

I am glad I checked this little diddy when it hit my inbox tonight.  There’s something good an interesting happening in this Adam Zombie song, Pilgrim State.  The electronica that occurs in the production along with the duo’s flow is some what reminiscent of some Digable Planet’s jams from yesteryear.   The flow and presence on the mic is actually really refreshing.  I really can’t wait to hear more music.  I hope they can meet the high standard he set by this track.  Richmond in the building!

Skeezo & Rediculous – Watch Ya Step Remix (ft. El Gant and Bekay) (Video)

Oh you were truly not ready for this joint.    Rediculous applied a particular type of funk to make this joint rock while Skeezo, El Gant, and Bekay launch an all out verbal assault on all the skinny jean wearing hipsters who claim to be able to rock the crowd.   These are joints that hip hop heads scream for, so make sure you dowload the album and share it with a friend.  You owe these men that much.

CF – Dog Tags (ft. Swave Sevah and Akir) b/w Anatomy Of A Revolutionary

CF

CF is one of best lyricists in the game currently.  His prose is on par with anyone else doing it. On Dog Tags, he releases the hounds by collaborating with the likes of Swave Sevah and Akir.  This joint gets straight militant with a quickness. The beat and bars work cohesively to deliver potency in music.

On Anatomy Of A Revolutionary we have more of that illness that CF has demonstrated throughout his career. He has never shied away for letting his views be known and is primed to let you know his dissenting opinions.  He may not be popular with politicians but CF is definitely a fan favorite of hip hop heads.

Ascension is due out on September 2nd so save the date people!

Single You Out: Nutso, Shabaam Sahdeeq & Hus Kingpin – Murderous (Prod. By SciFi Stu) Cuts By Chinch 33

Scifi Stu initiates auditory mayhem with this chaotic/psychotic production  that Nutso, Shabaam Sahdeeq, and Hus Kingpin make straight up chaos over.  For a little extra flavor Chinch 33 does what he does best and chops up the record making it all the more enticing for listeners.

I am not totally positive, but I think Scifi Stu might have a project dropping soon.  I have copped all his other records so this will be no exception.

Single You Out: Snake Hollywood – Our Way (ft. Range Da Messenga)

“Tough talk don’t amuse killers.”  True enough.  Snake Hollywood is back and turning that smooth shit into a certified head nodder.  This track is counter intuitive in that the production and the soulful hook provide an element of smoothness but you aren’t going to get a laid back summer jam here.  Hollywood is taking no prisoners with an onslaught of barbarian bars that challenge the listener to keep up.

It’s been a minute but Snake Hollywood is going to be releasing his My Condolences: Addendum in August.  Stay Tuned.

Single You Out: Revalation – U Outta Luck (8-Bza MIX) (ft. Don Streat and S.O.N.)

This is a remix 8-BZA worked out for one of Revelation’s tracks off of his latest mixtape, Feature Presentation.   The remix is pretty ill, complimented perfectly with the Dirty Harry references in the background.   All of the emcess murk the record but Streat really sets the tone with that first sixteen. Just an intense delivery like he’s inflicting pain on the track.

Single You Out: Rayce – Heaven (prod. by Cookbook)

a3660388218_10

 

Rayce is easily one of my favorite young artists making music.   Ever since we started sharing his music last year, he has displayed amazing consistency in quality without any watered down material.   Rayce is also always a very introspective individual.   He’s not afraid to dig a little bit deeper than a lot of other artists.  If you don’t get, you just don’t get it.  Check a piece of his first verse:

Heaven, is it figurative or literal? A parable to match all these stories that are biblical? Enlightenment? Heightening of senses we’re given? Somewhere along the lines of alchemy and spiritualism?

The production is being catered by Cookbook from LA Symphony fame.

 

 

Single You Out: Nutso – This City Of Mine

Nutso is back cranking out these head-cracker rhythms.  This song has an assortment of components going on.  It has a Spanish rhythm at times, a boom bap element, and at other times a flute dominates the background. The production is effectively handled by duo Grand Muzik and Buda Future.   Nutso, being the consistent artist he is, delivers a steady diet of rugedness.

I sense a new project on the horizon.  No days off.
