OnlyOne & 9DM EP (2013)

ONLYONE AND 9DM - ALBUM COVER

 

This EP is probably flying pretty low on the radar but I am about to bring truth to the light so to speak.  Anything OnlyOne puts out gets posted on the regular here on HHD.  We also featured 9DM here a couple of years ago with his collaboration with Lawz Spoken,  You’ll Never Be Famous.  That project was impressive.   This one is equally so.  It’s short, sweet, and FREE.  You’ve also got dope production from Hippie Sabotage and Chase Moore.   OnlyOne and 9DM are vets in the battle scene and they bring that combative element to their music as well.   Their lyrics do not compromise and they hit opponents and listeners the same…mercilessly.  The two soundlcoud singles are below although my favorite tracks from the project are the last two:  Robbed A Bank and Stole A Car.   The production on those songs are exceptional.  

If you enjoy Sandpeople music or are a fan of these artists on the battle circuit you should download this.  You can get it HERE.

ATAK 1 – Fall From Grace (prod. by Sinima Beatz) (Video)

I saw this posted over at Kevin Nottingham’s spread and I thought it was definitely worthy of one of our five posts today.   The production from Sinima Beatz is spot on.  He cinched it with that sample right from the get go.  ATAK 1 also represents his flaws really well in his gift of rhyme.  And, no, he’s not perfect, but he’s blessed enough to spit some bars for us and that’s good enough here on HHD.  This is off of his mixtape, ComonDante- The Che Guevera of Rap Vol.5.

Ruste Juxx – Gimme Da Loot (Video)

Very few people work as hard as Ruste Juxx does. He always optimizes each and every project he does.  We always get tons of dope visuals from him along with a grip of singles.  That way there should be no reason  for you NOT to cop his new album.  Gimme Da Loot is off of his latest album, Ready To Juxx which was produced entirely by VS The Best. The story, it turns out, is prompted by a stolen umbrella.  Go figure.

Tim Gustave – French Touch (Video)

This video straight up made me want to go visit Paris.  This is where dope meets charming.   Gustave also has a nice flow, and the fact he can go from English to French is pretty impressive.    If the French want to entice a bunch of hip hop heads to come across the pond, perhaps they should use this video?  This single was lifted from Tim Gustave’s new EP, Fragments Of A Dream which I have not heard but may be checking out shortly.

SGT. Over – School Of Hard Knoxx (2013)

a2353988770_10

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.

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: Rahim Samad – Have Discipline

avatars-000033232624-358hfs-t500x500

 

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.
