AWAR is back to rocking mics and staying busy, this time hopping on a Vanderslice instrumental that was originally featured on the latters’ instrumental project, Oh My God EP. AWAR add some venom on the vocals and takes the listener to church over this gospel-esque production.
Be on the lookout for AWAR and Vanderslice’s new album, The Winning Team, slated to drop later this year.
This single only just came out last week but if the homie Cool FD wants to put his special twist to the cut, no one will complain. Dopeness!
You know when V-Zilla drops some new music because the ground starts to shake and ear drums go into a panic. This man knows nothing BUT dropping bangers! This time he has Lawrence Arnell and Skammadix lending hands.
This track is the preface to the forthcoming opus, Martyr Musick, which is due out in June!
Some pretty heavy Beantown representation going on in this track. This is my favorite track off of N.B.S.’ latest album, The Smokefest. It’s very munch an anthem, and even if you aren’t from Boston, you can’t help but get caught up in the vibe of the song.
This song is anything but chillin’. The Bankai Fam are some of the most ruthless wordsmiths in the game. These guys don’t, chill, they are taking heads at every opportunity so don’t be fooled. If you love the rough n’ rugged, then you are going to love Bankai Fam. Azaia is on the boards delivering the realness!
Their EP, On My Side, is out now!
Canada flexes it’s proverbial muscle when Theo 3, Adam Bomb, and Korry Deez step into the booth for their new track, Significant. The three artists reach deep impact over a horn laden Lancecape production. No word if this is part of a bigger project.
This new song, from new artist, Marshall Sinclair, is nothing short of amazing. The production from Taavi Haapla is beautiful. I love the instrument combinations used over the beat. It gives you this easy going vibe. The emcees on this cut all have unique and diverse styles lending themselves to incredible creativity. It features a couple of my favorite and under-heralded emcees in Frank Ramz and Devine Carama. We are all on notice now as Marshall Sinclair readies his new project, Fathom, which as of yet, has no date.
Jus Daze and J57 link up to remiss on some better times with the track, I Miss… The track has a dichotomy about it in the sense that it’s both serious and playful. The latter is much in part to the production from J57. The press release that accompanied this track suggests a new EP is in the work for Jus Daze which is always welcome news.

Note:
This is not a review. There is simply no time. I just wanted to make you guys aware that this joint dropped. I have King Syze’s entire discography and every album is completely dope. It’s authentic material and I encourage you all to cop this.
Local-Mu12 is on the move! Possibly my favorite camp doing it right now. They have such diverse styles and those styles give birth to this track, Welcome to Local-Mu12 produced by Real McKoy. The song is one of those subtle bangers that don’t overtly make your head bob, but then by the end of the track you realize your neck is sore. You can cop the collective album, Labor Day, for a full feel as to what the crew has to offer.
