I love it when two of my favorites join forces for a track. Alterbeats and Skeezo do damage with their track, Real Talk, off of the producer’s album, Class Struggle, which is out now. This track serves notice that real recognizes real and the more heads like this collaborate, the better off we all are as fans.
The Audible Doctor – Dirty Nigga (ft. Chaundon) (Video)
The Audible Doctor has been putting together a lot of visuals this year, and I don’t mind. Dirty Nigga is one of my favorite tracks off of The Audible Doctor’s, The Summer Tape. The chemistry with Chaundon is undeniable. I honestly would like to see an EP/Project between the two of them. They really compliment each other’s styles very well.
Single You Out: Elementz Emcee – Too Much (ft. Tragedy tha Beast and Dawreck)
I took a look at this one on the strength of Tragedy tha Beast’s music this year. But in truth all of these emcees can spit over this banger produced by KA Beats. Elementz Emcee, Tragedy, and Dawreck all bloody up this track with some tough lines. I am not sure where this track was lifted off of or whether or not it’s part of a larger project, but enjoy.
Rhyme Scheme Rap 5 – Krypol Haze (Video)
This was sent to me via Twitter and usually some of the material sent to me via that network is pretty suspect. This, however, was not.
I believe this is some kind of video series from Grind Life Films. This time they have Krypol Haze jump on this smooth as hell beat from Haris The Terrorist. Haze has got some exceptional skills. He relays this one line regarding skinny jeans and Russel Westbrook’s closet that had me rolling.
If you like this track, check out Krypol Haze’s self-titled album released earlier this year…HERE.
Walt Sicknin’ – Philly Wreckin’ Stuff (Video)
Lets be honest….this cut sounds like it dropped in 1996! Straight Golden Era raps from Walt Sicknin’. That boom bap beat by the Llingo Apt should make heads feel so nostalgic for years of hip hop past and Walt Sicknin’ makes you remember how important raw rhymes and skills are. That’s often forgotten in today’s generation. I have no idea who this man is, but he has HHD’s undivided attention now.
Single You Out: H Blanco – Blessed (prod. by Statik Selektah)
H Blanco is a new signee to Termanology’s roster. I think he’s quite impressive on this track. I know that I have heard him on some of Termanology’s past works and looking forward to what he might be doing in the future. Apparently he has a new mixtape released in conjunction with Statik Selektah. I think you guys should feel this joint.
Single You Out: Coarse Company (Tenacity & Koncept) – City Hurts (ft J57 & Natalie Andrea)
Koncept & Tenacity make up the group Coarse Company. The combination proves to be really dope. Koncept has been dropping consistently dope material for a few years now. Tenacity released a couple of dope albums this year and I will just let it be said: He was the HHD runner-up for our Artist Of The Year this year. You don’t just drop two dope albums and not get noticed.
The J57 produced song, City Hurts comes from their upcoming project, Same Page, which comes out next week. This song bodes well for the quality of the project.
JMEGA THE GOD – Bobby Johnson (Video)
JMEGA releases the video for Bobby Johnson, a single from his latest album, NIGGAZ IZ KINGZ FOREVER. The track is paying repsect to the Golden Era of hip hop but I think it is more than that. It’s taking that new school boom bap with a sharp, modern twist. And if you want to push your track u a notch, getting DJ Grazhoppa to do the cuts is one way to do it.
Single You Out: Soul Khan – Praying for a River (prod. by J57)
At least musically, Soul Khan’s 2013 was very much under the radar. He may have only put out a couple of tracks. Praying for a River is setting the table for hopefully a more active 2014. This is the first single from his forthcoming free album, and is produced by the venerable J57. Enjoy.
Single You Out: N.B.S. – Vices (ft. Bishop Lamont)
It’s a union of coasts when N.B.S. and Bishop Lamont tag team to tackle a world of temptations with the track, Vices, off of their new album, The Smokefest. What’s your vice?
