Nutso is doing something so few artists have done, especially on the level of a whole project. When the Western Union project drops next week it represent a union of two coasts. He will be working exclusively with emcees from the Left Coast, showcasing some of the best talent in the region. This is the first single from the project featuring Problem and Bad Lucc. Quite simply, it knocks.
Single You Out: Syler – What I Am? (prod. by J. Glaze)
J. Glaze gets those piano keys banging and the bass line thumping and that means BANGER! Syler is no slouch on the microphone either. He definitely is on point and on time with the lyricism. The chorus is also done really well which is essential when crafting a dope song. Syler’s new album, One Minute To Midnight, is slated to drop November 19th.
Single You Out: Jus Daze – I Made It (ft. MVP and Devo D)
Now this usually ain’t my steez. It’s a little too uptempo and optimistic and I am just not that kind of guy. But the song is too well put together not to share it. The chorus by Devo D really completes the cut in between sixteens from Jus Daze and MVP (from WWE fame, who knew?). It’s the type of joint that definitely could rock a club and steal some commercial success. I Made It, is just the tip of the iceberg from the Walk Twice As Hard album. One of the things I like about Jus Daze is that he is one of the more substantive emcees I feature here. He’s always dropping material that gets you thinking and while I Made It is not exactly in that lane, make sure you give the album a deserved listen.
Alterbeats x Mic Handz – My Life (Video)
This video is full of changes of direction, dope production from Alterbeats, and raw rhymes from Mic Handz. Every video that’s done for an Alterbeats’ cut is just extremely well done. There’s no getting around that. There’s also no denying Mic Handz’ opportunity to achieve his dream. He has the skill, the production behind him, and the cosign from a lot of other dope artists. Let’s see what he does next to make those dreams a reality. Meanwhile, make sure you cop Class Struggle if you have not already.
Single You Out: Sgt. Over – All My Life (ft. Jessie Davis)
This is a different and niiiiice track from Sarge off of his forthcoming EP, Sargenetics. That will be hitting hard drives on November 26th. I really am feeling the vibe of this joint. The production with the piano keys and other instrumentation sounds like audible alchemy. Dianetics really makes a good first impression.
Single You Out : Snake Hollywood – Radio Silence (Prod By NY Bangers)
He’s tired of the nonsense he’s been hearing on the radio. Snake Hollywood is not going to dumb it down for the masses. He is going to give it to you one hundred, and if that’s beyond your mental acumen, so be it. What I love about Snake Hollywood is that he doesn’t hold back the fact that he’s an intelligent artist and that comes through in each and everyone of his songs. NY Bangers is on the production. New project is on it’s way on November 29th entitled, My Condolences: Addendum.
Aul Purpis – Big Boy Shoes (ft. Craig G) (Video)
First time that I have featured Aul Purpis on HHD, but I am guessing this won’t be his last time. He’s got the right combination of voice, lyricism, and boom bap. Plus, obtaining verses from the rhyme legend, Craig G does not hurt. The beat from the severely underrated Fel Sweetenberg is heavy handed in a good way.
Single You Out: IllMaculate & OnlyOne – Know My Name (ft. Bigg K) (prod. By Chase Moore)
I am guessing this is another single from the album, Ill & Only though I could of course be wrong. Regardless it’s dope. Chase Moore is killing it with these beats while Bigg K also represents with Illmaculate and OnlyOne. Fresh like __________________! (use your imagination)
LATYRX (Lateef + Lyrics Born) – Exclamation Point (ft. Forrest Day) (Video)
It’s unorthodox. It’s different. It’s fun. Be grateful that the team of Lateef and Lyrics Born have come together again to form the powerhouse of Latyrx. These guys are originals when it comes to nonconformity in hip hop. They were pushing boundaries when the rest of these artists were scared to even put a foot outside their proverbial box.
Check out their album, expertly titled, The Second Album.
Single You Out: Mr. Morbid & Melph – Living 2 Die
I somehow missed this third single from Mr. Morbid and Melph’s album, Close To The End. Living 2 Die is filled with lyrics of utter depravity, regret, and suicidal tendencies. But when those thoughts are intertwined with Melph’s soulful, rock infused production, we have a winner.
Not sure when the album is set to drop but the three songs I have heard have been tight.
