This is the second single from Whosane’s forthcoming album, Brooklyn to Cape Town. This man is killing it again, though this time over a Ski Beatz production. It’s a dope song even though I can’t understand the other emcee’s verse in the least. I guess that tells you how goo Whosane’s bars have got to be, right?
Kyle Hubbard is that dude in Texas right now. The hopes of my state ride, in part, on this man’s back. He constantly puts out quality music that people can relate to and does it in the freshest ways possible. This cut is off of his highly acclaimed album, You’re Not That Special which dropped in early 2013.
..a blog is not a God, no matter how they frame it…
You are now in tune to the smooth vibes of Trek Life and Duke Westlake. This joint makes me feel good. It’s got a great vibe with lyrics that any hip hop fan would relate to. The video single is coming of the collaborative EP, Hometown Foreigner.
This is a song you can run and go tell your homies about. Hot ish! Hot ish! First off, the beat from Araabmuzik must be on loan from Lucifer (ironic b/c there are some Christian overtones in the music) because it’s that hot. But these emcees aren’t playing…AT ALL. They each compete for the best verse on this cut and they ALL are contenders.
So while the song plays, keep the neck brace close. It may come in handy. This song is coming off of FreeStyle Fam’s forthcoming mixtape.
HMAN? Why haven’t I heard of HMAN? Damn it. I can’t keep up. All the sudden an artist I have never heard of has a beat by The Audible Doctor and Sticky Fingaz as an accomplice on the mic. Man…
At any rate, this is a dope track that you should be checking out. If you like it, he has a new album which can be downloaded here.
“Old school…got my Raider’s cap…” That’s the anthem on this cut from the Demigodz impressive KILLmatic album. We’ve talked about it before in the album review, but this track is produced by Apathy, and he did a hella of a job on this joint. The video is also a little old school that features a cameo from Xzibit. Cop this album if you have not already and peep the review.
Gimme some more of that good old fashioned boom bap, fellas! This reminds me of some older Nonphixion material and that’s a good thing. It has those raw rhymes and beat with those political overtones. I am definitely feeling the music coming from Alpha Faktion. Their EP dropping under the same name as this song is dropping on May 21st and you are going to want to catch that.
This is a fresh, light hearted track from an artist going by the moniker, Gone Wallace. I like the concept and the execution. I will be checking for him in the future. He’s just offering something different that I like.
I really shouldn’t have to say too much about this video. It was real well done. The music and the rhymes were definitely dope. Toke has got all of the intangibles to make this music thing pan out. An EP should be dropping in the summer. Stay tuned.
The bottom line to this song…stay faithful people…stay faithful.
