Single You Out: KEY N ONE – We Do Rough (ft. Respect Tha God, Godilla, Slim Dsm, Ghetto MC, Glomgold & Tha Soloist)

I am not big on putting up YouTube videos as a “single” but I am really not given a choice.  I would rather get the word out on this dope release than ignore it.   KEY N ONE release We Do Rough as a prelude to their album, Samples, Beats & Insomnia : The Lifestyle.  Each guest verse is proper as is the production.  So enjoy this joint…

Single You Out: Ruste Juxx – Brooklyn’s Finest (ft. Skyzoo)

Regrettable I am short on time so I am going to use the artist’s blurb for the track description:

When you describe Ruste Juxx, you must call him the “Hardest from the Underground”, his resume speaks for itself. The Boot Camp emcee who hails from Killer Crown Heights has without a doubt etched his name in brownstone as one of the premier emcee’s to ever come out of Brooklyn, NY.

Collaborating with fellow Brooklyn resident and suberb wordsmith Skyzoo, the duo combine to show you whose “Brooklyn’s Finest”. Over the VStheBest produced track, Ruste Juxx and Skyzoo take you thru a tour of Crooklyn.

Ruste Juxx starts the track by showing respect to the hood that help hone his skills as an emcee, then turns it up and bodies the track with a ill 16. Not to be out done, Skyzoo shows that his place as one of the best lyricist in the game is not to be taken lightly. Its only right that Juxx and Skyzoo connect on this track, having both drop stellar albums in 2012 on the Duck Down Label.

 

Single You Out: CuzOH Black – Dumb Dumb (Produced By Antagonist Dragonspit)

I am already a fan of CuzOH Black and I was intrigued by a producer that goes by the name of Antagonist Dragonspit.  I mean that’s a name you won’t see duplicated.  Or maybe you will after you hear this beat!  Both the beat and the emcee sound like they are telling you a secret…very hushed and muted but infectious nonetheless.  Really impressive material about two men just being about their business.

Single You Out: Zilla Rocca & The Shadowboxers – Young Blood (ft. Roc Marciano) (prod. by Has-Lo)

First off, Has-Lo out did himself with this production.  What a gem!  The resonating guitar is different and absolutely perfect.  Zilla Rocca and Roc Marciano absolutely wreck shop with their verses over this piece.  They take aim at the hot heads on the corner of the block and how the city will eat it’s young.

I have always been a fan of Zilla Rocca and given a silent nod to Marciano’s work.  But this is next level right here.  Roc Marciano sounds as though this beat was custom made for him.

This is the first single off of No Vacation For Murder.

Single You Out: Scribes – Hop On The Ride

Scribes is like the Pied Piper of hip hop…once you start listening you can’t stop and just let the mind drift.  He just makes great songs with great harmony and tone.  It’s a different feel and vibe to other music that is being made these days.   Listening to Scribes always reminds me that I am not thuggish enough to strictly listen to street bangers.  Good music will be just fine.
