Single You Out: Daniel Son & Finn – Chalk Brothers (ft. Lord Juco)

Daniel Son and Lord Juco backed by Finn? Yes…please! Chalk Brothers are in full effect and it sounds dope as we would expect. Finn laces the piano keys then brings in the drums to make that head nod with well placed excellence. And these flows play so nice off of each other. Smooth yet sharp really describes this joint. One day in the future we are going to need a Lord Juco and Daniel Son album.

But as it stands, Daniel Son and Finn have a new one coming and this is the first single. Hare Brained Schemes coming soon (well actually in a couple of months so not too soon)!

Rockness Monsta & Ruste Juxx – Sean Lives On (Video)

Good gawd! Damn! This song is all sorts of fire. Adwerdz on the production really laces something that somber, yet banging, and it lends itself to something epic…Rockness Monsta and Ruste Juxx exchanging bars celebrating none other than the legend Sean Price. And a legend deserves an amazing tribute, and that’s EXACTLY what we get here in all ways. The way Ruste and Rockness trade these bars and the clever lyricism, is nothing short of great. I am moved by this because, the topic and the tandem bring the best out of EVERYONE. Everything sounds razor sharp on this! The visuals are so dope because it puts Sean right there in the song. The visual transitions are incredibly well done. And the only artists that could have pulled this off are present and accounted for. This is the definition of “proper respect”. Wow.

The Crownsville album is dropping later this month so be prepared for that!

Vstyles – Me (Video)

I actually came looking for something to promote Vstylez latest album, Buddy Revell and came across the video for Me. The album is really good, and while this isn’t my favorite track from the album, it still showcases the talent that abounds through the course of the project as the artist can show he can do it his way and not deviate from the path he sets for himself. This is definitely not one to sleep on.

K.A.A.N. & DJ Hoppa – Weight (Video)

K.A.A.N. and DJ Hoppa have been putting in work this summer! And that’s great for all of us because that’s a remarkable combination. They recently released the top notch album, Delusions Of Grandeur, which I think is one of the top albums this year. And yet they are not stopping. They have another project slated for release at the end of this month.

Weight isn’t as dark and menacing as the songs from the previously mentioned, Delusions Of Grandeur, but still one that bears a sense of angst and the want to get that weight and pressure of their backs!

Rasheed Chappell – Haysoos (ft. SoundsLikeDen) (Video)

Rasheed Chappell is back delivering that high quality content we have come to expect from him over the years. On the track, Haysoos, Chappell solicits the thought that we need a little more God in these streets, or laments the lack of with all the people he’s lost and things he’s seen over the years. SoundsLikeDen is on the hook and the track is produced by Beatsbyjblack and The Arcitpye.

You can find this on Chappell’s upcoming album, Nonstop: JFK ATL, which is dropping on August 30th.

Single You Out: Serge Severe – That Product

Serge Severe is an artist that a decade ago used to hit me (and we would feature) EPs on a fairly consistent basis. Really talented emcee who made great music out of Portland at the time if I recollect. And then as life moves, priorities shift, I didn’t hear much over the last several years. But he just sent me his new SXLXMXN laced track, That Product, which really showcases that edge, energy, and talent I came to really appreciate all that many years and releases ago. Really great to hear from him again.

Single You Out: JR Swiftz x Jamil Honesty x Jay Royale – The Chipped Tooth Era

Just yesterday, I made it a Jay Royale listening experience…listening to four of his albums and walking away with a couple of thoughts 1) This guy is the embodiment of what Nas, Mobb Deep, and KGR were to hip hop in the 1990s. That pen game, flow, and ear for beats just takes me back to that era with a new level of lyricism. 2) Damn I wish I could get a Jamil Honesty and Royale collab album! Those two sound really nice on a a track together.

Well, today I must have manifested something, because while it is not an album, it IS a JR Swiftz laced heat rock that features both emcees. Again taking you back to the era where lyricism and a finely crafted beat mattered the most.

Substance810 & Clypto – Gargoyles (ft. O The Great & DJ Grazzhoppa)

If this song doesn’t get you hype about the new album from Substance810 and Clypto, I don’t know what quite would do the trick. This joint is a smash! The production got’s some street Phantom Of The Opera organ vibes going and with DJ Grazzhoppa on the cut, this joint is a direct hit, don’t miss! Love the ODB sample mixed in, and then the smooth yet sharp deliveries from Substance810 and O the Great really compliment not only the track but each other. Love this joint!

Check the album, Wise Words, out now!

Rim & Eddie Kaine – Fender Bender (Video)

Chemistry is a theme this week in the music that we are promoting and who displays better chemistry than Rim and Eddie Kaine? The emcee know how to trade bars and verses seamlessly and honestly no one is really on their level. Bhramabull produces this along along with the entire 5 Dolla Holla release with Rim. Definitely high octane joint, and if you clash with these artists, best believe it just won’t be a fender bender.
