True to my commitment to post more projects on HHD (minus the lengthy review) I bring you the newest EP from SGT. Over, School Of Hard Knoxx. This project is short coming in at under 15 minutes but it’s really meant as a teaser for what is yet to come. What that is, is his forthcoming album, Big Music, from which we have already showcased cuts featuring, Ras Kass and Ransom. That album is going to be fully loaded and will drop in early 2014. But in the meantime enjoy this moment in time produced by Knoxx. The whole thing is certified but I am especially feeling the track, Sarge. That one really sets the tone for what I think SGT Over is about.
Single You Out: Illmaculate & OnlyOne – Desperado
Are the Sandpeople in the building? Hell yeah! We got some new music featuring some Illmaculate and OnlyOne teamwork from their forthcoming project, ONLY & ILL. The fire production comes from their long time affiliate Chase Moore who has been cranking out that fire recently. He plays the El Mariachi of the trio. Can’t wait to hear this album!
The 17th – Rubbish ft. Spoke In Wordz, Fokis (Video)
You may remember The 17th from our feature on him earlier this year. The man has a crazy amount of talent. And if you think that this cut is dope, make sure you check that EP. It’s free (now available on iTunes but worth every penny) and was rated the best EP of 2012 right here on HHD. Support artists like The 17th, Spoke In Words, and Fokis because we too are tired of the Rubbish.
Single You Out: Typ iLL – Godly Bounce (prod. by DJ Concept)
Little Vic once commented how impressive Typ ill’s flow was, and on Godly Bounce you can surely see why he made that remark. DJ Concept handles the production for this cut. This was the last single before he released his EP, Basic Training which officially dropped TODAY. Check it out!
Single You Out: Rahim Samad – Have Discipline
Here’s another new name to my inbox, and I am glad to offer it up to you to listen. This joint from Rahim Samad is nice. Again, some guys are just blessed with a voice to be an emcee, and Samad qualifies. He rips this banger from producer KeyBoy (again, another dope producer from France? What’s in the water over there?) The rhymes are also of the highest quality. The whole vibe is reminiscent of something from 1994. Ain’t nothing wrong with that. As fat as I know this is not attached to a bigger project, but I am interested in hearing more from him.
KAMALA (DJ Ready Cee – El Gant – Parakhan) – Modelo Music (Video)
Short of that Nino Bless track, Rhyme Of The Year, this might be the filthiest flow of the year. El Gant goes anywhere and everywhere with his lyrics, from Kurt Vonnegut to the Mariana Trench (now that’s deep). I am not sure who the responsible party is for this beat so I am just going to go with Parakhan DJ Ready Cee. If that’s the case, then the man gets major props from me. This is a definite head nodder. You won’t be able to help it. Check out their self-titled EP, HERE.
Breeze Brewin’ – ROADRAGE (Video)
I was hoping to see that this song was attached to a bigger project that was soon to be released but it appears that this joint may just be a gift to the masses from Breeze Brewin’ from The Juggaknots camp. The production comes courtesy of Smoke Signals. And remember….don’t let anger consume you.
Spit Gemz – Nelson Muntz / Mystic Moves (Video)
Spit Gemz gives the audience a video ‘double-tap’ with the combination of visuals for Nelson Muntz and Mystic Moves. Gemz is always giving the people the dopest of material. On November 10th he releases his next project for FREE, END THE TV.
Lyriciss – Big Gold Chain (Video)
Lyriciss just dropped his album, The Balance, this past Tuesday. Today we bring you another video single from that project, Big Gold Chain, produced by an HHD favorite in his own right, Scrilla Ventura. Enjoy this.
Single You Out: Rite Hook – Lose Control (ft. Action Bronson) (C-Lance Remix)
I am not sure if I even remember the original. I will have to go back and check for it in my iTunes. But what I do know for sure, is that this track is a beautiful piece of work. It’s easily one of the top five tracks I have heard from Rite Hook. C-Lance really gave this track a ton of character with this joint. Definitely one of those songs that will stick in your head (like so many Rite Hook songs do when you listen to them). The new album, From The Wrong, drops in a couple of weeks. Be ready.
