Singles, Albums, EPs, Mixtapes, and Videos that get the HHD thumbs up.
Copywrite and Slug team up for a heart felt and thought-provoking song from the newly released album, The Last Supper. The sample while familiar takes on a different entity in the venerable hands of producer Swab. It’s somber and emotional as the artists have different yet personal perspectives on what it means to Turn The Page.
Copywrite has returned with a great vengeance with this new album that features so many great emcees and producers. Don’t miss out!
Marv Won is back with a video single from his recently released stellar album, I’m Fine Thanks For Asking. Higher, has our emcee showing off his skills and sharing his insights over his very own mellow and soulful production. He’s really showing off alot here with a multitude of talents. There are so many gems on this track. Here are a couple:
Niggas be dead wrong / Cuz I ain’t see no accomplishments on the headstone / Just a day of birth and when God told you to head home
It’s cold and heavy, you know how to shovel snow?
Now purchase the album. Thank you!
Oooooof….damn this joint is tough! Teflon tough. I always like showcasing something that might slip under your radar, so here it is…Gennessee featuring Ruste Juxx over a Vinny Idol banger. This joint makes a real statement and just a taste off of the project, Bucktown, that features a host of verses from Duck Down representatives. You’re not going to want to miss this joint or this project.
Napoleon Da Legend has ALOT of projects that he’s released over the last several years and always puts out dope music. But this new project with DJ Rhettmatic dropping next week called Legmatic, sounds like it might be a future favorite of mine. The beat from the Beat Junkie is off the richter with the drums and the scratching. Simply knocks hard with hip hop essence. This production really lets Napoleon Da Legend let loose with bars and a flow that truly typify The King Walk.
New single from rhyme legend, Edo.G and producer extraordinaire, Tone Spliff. And with Catch Up you have a most excellent vibe. Spliff laces a joint that just kind of stalks the listener, as Edo.G invites you to verbally catch up with what he’s done and doing. Two professionals who are just continually setting the highest of standards.
New project, Audio Edibles, drops on Friday!
Dray Yard is a producer who is known for crafting boom bap hip hop and creating posse cuts that include emcees of all ilks. Some of them you have heard of before, and others maybe a little lesser known. But everyone gets a chance to shine over premium beats and elite scratches from Mr. Thing.
And true to the track name, Kalisthenics, the emcees here keep it moving over some high powered, and high bpm, boom bap.
K.A.A.N. and DJ Hoppa prepare for the release of their forthcoming project, Delusions Of Grandeuer, which I am very excited about. I have always enjoyed the music from the prolific, K.A.A.N, but hearing him over DJ Hoppa production just elevates the excitement for me. I think the two really bring out the best of each other. Here is the most excellent and final single before the project is released, Nightmare.
J-Live makes timeless hip hop. He was an innovator decades ago and still continues to flex innovation and talent. Here he shows off not only on the mic but on the production tip as well. Lose No Time is the first single off of the forthcoming album, Face Value. Surely to be all hip hop and no facade.
I’ve got to put you onto this new project from Skrewtape and producer Icerocks. It takes a special artist to drop $30 on a digital release, but I have a lot of faith in these guys. I didn’t listen to a snippet before I purchased. I knew what I was going to be getting. It’s the soulful uncut hip hop music that can do no wrong. On the track Chimney Fish, Icerocks laces that neck snapping rhythm, while Skrewtape delivers that gravelly flow in the cut like no one else can. Highly recommend you checking this album out: Shoebox Sonata.
We just featured the single from Mic Bles and Level 13 a few days ago and now we have the video to celebrate the release of Still No Halos, which is another banger from the duo. One thing I have come to know about Mic Bles is this artist is ROOOOOOOTED in hip hop. Everything he does on the mic is a true representation of being an emcee. And the the pairing with ethemadassassin is strong. One of my favorite tracks from this year with Level 13 lacing the banger and DJ Romes giving you those extra touches.
