Grieves makes some GREAT music. This song is just another testament to that. Shreds also gives us some great visuals. It’s not your typical low budget ‘sitting-on-your-front-porch-rapping’ type of steez. His new album, Winter & the Wolves drops on March 25th.
Single You Out: Gotham Green – RIP (It’s Over) (ft. JoJo Pellegrino & MaRika)
This came out in late January but I missed it and when I listened to it today it was just TOO inspiring not to share in hopes that I can help more people catch on to what Gotham Green is doing. I am not sure who produced this beat but they did a hella great job. JoJo Pellegrino was also the perfect choice to guest on this track. He murks his verse. Altogether this is one of my favorite tracks this year. Be on the lookout for Green’s new project, Child Of An Immigrant, due out a little later this year.
Single You Out: Kue the Vandal – The End (Prod. by Dope Antelope)
Kue The Vandal and Dope Antelope are kicking the music into a high gear. When you hear this song do you feel the Apocalypse coming on? It sounds like it was made at death’s door it is so ominous. This emcee and producer combination is really working well. The two feed off of each other very well creatively. The new EP should hopefully be here very soon. Also be on the lookout for the HHD feature on Dope Antelope coming soon.
Mic Blaque – The Art, The Cool (Prod. by A.D. Liles) (Video)
I was peeping Mic Blaque’s newest release, Respect The Cool, because I just got a PR release for it (a few months late but whatever). This is the first track from the project and I knew instantly that I had to feature this joint. When I went searching, I saw that there was a video for this and it was a no-brainer to share. This track has a high dope factor. I played it so loud I saw my next door neighbor bobbing his head to the beat. I like the way the track just keeps building the ferocity. Hopefully you like it as much as I do.
Single You Out: Reks x Hazardis Soundz – 54
Good lawd! Two things: Reks flow and wordplay on this track are microphone phenomenal! And in case you didn’t know, 54 pertains to the amount of bars Reks just dropped on you. The second item up for discussion is when was hte last time you heard a producer absolutely KILL IT with a dusty horn sample?!? Hazardis Soundz just did that to you…wow.
New collaborative album from the artists is due out sometime this spring (ambiguous, I know) entitled Eyes Watching God.
The Narcicyst – Average Type (ft. Meryem Saci) (Video)
I missed this video when it dropped a few weeks ago. This song is lifted and visualized from The Narcicyst’s new EP WeAreTheMedium which is available for Free Download (so why not?) I always find the man’s music and videos compelling and interesting. Also Meryem Saci shows that she’s just not another pretty face (or your average type, haha)…the girl packs a verbal arsenal. Dope song.
Single You Out: Illmaculate – Do Not Disturb (prod. by Chase Moore)
Are you kept in the comfort of your conformity? Do you feel safe in your ignorance? Does too much knowledge bother you and it’s easier to be stuck on stupid? If you answered yes to any of these questions then DO NOT listen to this song. It will surely give you anxiety. Illmaculate knows that most of you are comfortable in the ‘pretend’ world and he’s anxious to rattle your cage over this Chase Moore beat. This is the lead single to his new album coming out in March, Clay Pigeons.

Single You Out: Verbal Kent – Sound of the Weapon (9th Wonder Remix)
Verbal Kent released the album Sound Of The Weapon yesterday. The album is completely produced by Khrysis but the title track is given the 9th Wonder Remix treatment. The remix adds a dash more soul to the original making the song even more heart felt.
Single You Out: Pawz One – Mind Power (ft. Termanology & Ras Kass) (prod. by Default)
Finally, the new Pawz One album, Face The Facts, has dropped and to add fuel to the fire he enlists the services of Bean Town spitter, Termanology and C-Arson provocateur, Ras Kass to spit over this Default production.
If you don’t cop this album, you’ll be sorry.
Reckonize Real – Beyond Recognition (ft. Reks, Mayhem & ToneDeff CuTz) (Video)
I featured the single for this cut about four months ago but now we get the video single and of course we will share that too. This is in my opinion the best track off of Reckonize Real’s album, Dopamine. Mayhem and Reks rip on a very addictive rhythm. It’s a song you can play over and over without it getting old.
