A great DJ can make a great song phenomenal and that’s what happens here. Serge Severe is a superlative emcee and has made many a great song and this has to be considered one of the best. And the difference is DJ Total Eclipse. That kind of expert chopping is a difference maker. Gen. Erik is no slouch behind the boards either. Banging!
One Dae – Sweet Dreams (Video)
One Dae is not taking any days off since he dropped his superlative album, Daes & Times last year. He has a new mixtape getting ready to drop called Last Of The Flohicans mixed by the venerable PF Cuttin. This is the first single (I think) from the project. Enjoy!
Single You Out: Jus Daze – New Yawk (prod by Stradivarius)
New Yawk is nothing to tamper with and very few rep it better than Jus Daze. Daze had been dropping a lot of introspective music lately, but here he pays homage to his city. And he does it with the flair and flow that only he possesses. Stradivarius digs down deep into the soul and extracts just a little bit for this really dope beat. Enjoy folks!
Intuition & Equalibrum – STFU (Video)
Intuition and Equalibrum dropped their self-titled album today and did it proper. The music is very relatable and easy to listen to. It’s got a very bluesy vibe and made my ride to work all the more pleasurable this morning. This so happens to be one of my favorite tracks from the effort. It’s done from the perspective of his girl in the midst of an argument. Pretty innovative when considering the lyrics….
Illmaculate – Woodstock (ft. OnlyOne) (Video)
Fresh off Illmaculate’s Clay Pigeons album comes a little protest music. Woodstock is about utilizing the power of music to stage a protest right on the White House lawn. All Illmac and OnlyOne want is to have their freedoms guaranteed and not trifled with. It’s that vintage Sandpeople sound…
Single You Out: Godz Chyld – Heavens (prod. by Jordan River Banks)
Some serious business is put in on Godz Chyld’s new record, Heavens. I am not sure if he has put out any music previous to this record, but this joint reflects some legitimate mic prowess. That means he knows his way around a beat. Speaking of…I am familiar with Jordan River Banks production from his previous work with Ciph Barker (where has that guy been?) and he always drops some powerful back drops. This joint sounds like it dropped from skies…
If you are digging this check out their collaborative project, Forever.
Single You Out: Stryfe – Bucket (prod. by Illingsworth)
I missed this single from Stryfe when it dropped a few weeks ago. I have always been a fan of his music and bump his last project on the regular. He’s back at it with producer Illingsworth again and concocting the magic again. Bucket is a dedication to all things vehicular and also the lead single to his forthcoming project, Rare Form Vol. 1. The funk is evident on this joint!
Single You Out: Sleep – Cousin of Death (Prod. by Dope Antelope)
Sleep and Dope Antelope don’t stop. They are relentless in bringing that dope material to us in one form or another. Cousin Of Death is simply a banger, no two ways about it.
Single You Out: Cool FD – Go So Hard (ft. Dray Jr.)
Cool FD does it again and makes it seem oh so effortless. This time he acquaints our readership with one Dray Jr. out of Portland. Dray Jr. has got a nice touch with this microphone and does this Cool FD beat up something proper. Looking forward to hearing more from Dray Jr. to see what he’s all about as an artist, but a nice first impression.
Eff Yoo & Godilla – They Came On Horseback (Video)
I had no idea this was even in the works. Didn’t know that Eff Yoo and Godilla even were aware of each other. It’s really quite awesome when two artists of this caliber link up though. I have long been a fan of Godilla and became aware of Eff Yoo a couple of years ago and he’s been droppin’ dope music ever since. The whole project is due out on June 3rd and I am anxious to hear what the two have cooked up. This is definitely a short but dope banger!
