Singles, Albums, EPs, Mixtapes, and Videos that get the HHD thumbs up.
I hate posting on the weekends but I can’t help it. This news is BIG! All of us older heads can breathe again, and youngers can start anew. Natural Elements (Agu, Swigga, and Anthony Cruz) is back in the building and the track is dope! The three show excellent chemistry as if they have never been apart. If you listen to their older material (which I strongly encourage) you will hear that undeniable chemistry again and again. Man, enjoy this people…I know I am.
The first thing I want to say is that you don’t see chemistry on the microphone like this anymore. Little Vic and Peter Leo spit these bars like they were on some EPMD shit. It’s incredible the way they trade these bars. I can’t compare it with anything recently. The second thing I want to note is the dope beat that Undefined crafts here, and his album, Certified A-Side, is chocked full of rhythms like this. You need to check it out! Lastly, the video is extremely well done. The director really did a great job of accentuating the team work in the track. Officially one of my favorite joints this year.
This is a clear and deliberate track coming off of Rilgood’s forthcoming mix tape, Kingdom. It has a raw, old school vibe to it, which I can appreciate. Is somewhat reminiscent in style to Roc Marciano.
Tone Liv and the fellas keep the video grimy while hanging out spitting verbals in an abandoned warehouse. This track heralds from Liv’s new album, Cheap Porn, Tall Cans, and T.V. Dinners.
New video from Esh & Arc’s collaborative EP, Nightworks. It features their compatriot Romen Rok. It’s a high energy cut highlighted with many a dope line.
New music from Shabaam Sahdeeq accompanied by FT and Skyzoo. When it comes to Sahdeeq’s music, it’s always heat rocks. No different here. DJ Skizz on the beat.
One of the illest sets from a show came courtesy of Grayskul. They have a high energy skillset that gets you amped. They also have a ton of material out there that people may not know about. (maybe it’s time for another discography…hmmm.) There new album, Zenith is slated for September so be on the lookout.
When Snake Hollywood spits, I listen. His EP, My Condolences was one of the highlights of my 2012. Now I hear he has a new release entitled, My Condolences: Addendum dropping sometime this summer. I am not sure what it will include (remixes, new music) but it’s sure to be dope. On the joint, Nuthin’ Higher, Hollywood channels a little of that Run DMC boom bap.
Ok. If this song doesn’t move you and make you want to hit something, we’ve got a problem. This song is so dangerous to eardrums it may knock off your equilibrium. I am not playing. This song is coming off of Stryfe and Marc Byrd’s album, The Last Resorts. That is a great album by the way. If you are tired of the same old boring fuckery that befuddles the masses on a daily basis, you are going to want this album. The duo surpasses limits and expectations. Blam.
Sgt. Over drops a video for High On Life, which can be found on his most recent album, Precious Jewels. This time the emcee drops that certified smooth ish. We all need to smooth it out from time to time. Cop the album…
