C-Rayz Walz – The Digi-Box (Video)

It’s ok for me to be bias, right?   Of course it is!  HHD is littered with my bias.  But one thing I can tell you as an unequivocal truth is that C-Rayz Walz is ill.   He is one of my favorite wordsmiths period.  He’s in the same league to me as Ras Kass and Chino XL as a lyricist and that’s the highest praise that I can pay the man.

The highest praise he could give me?  He just did in this video.  Throughout the song he pays his respects to various blogs and web venues that have shown him love and low and behold, HHD is on there!   It’s a great surprise and honor.

But on the merits of the video alone this deserves posting.  The artistic touches and the way he “embeds” his video on the various web locations is awesome. You can find this track off of his latest album, The Code.

Single You Out: Benefit – Mind Running (ft. M-Dot and Famoso) (Produced By DC Soulplusmind) Cuts By DJ Grazzhoppa

Mind Running (Art)

When EMS comes a’ knocking with new music, I am always answering the door.  What we have here is a very soulful track from DC Soulplusmind and some excellent DJ skills exhibited by DJ Grazhoppa.   Those two things already made this track a gem but then you add the likes of M-Dot, Famoso, and Benefit to the mic duties and you have something superlative.  This track is off of the Benefit’s upcoming mixtape,  Timing Of the Godfather.

Single You Out: Sutter Kain – Shoot Her In The Face (ft. Rev Fang Gory and Insane Poetry)

4285704451-1

Sutter Kain is on some “bodies hit the floor” type ish on this joint.  This is not for the faint of heart.  Fans of Sutter Kain will remember this sound from his album from three years ago, Black Sunday – Mask Of The Demon. The lyrics in this cut surpass hard, and tread  on the psychopathic which I will presume is the point.  The production is that Ghetto Metal flavor that has come to be associated with NSD Records.

Single You Out: Saheed – Gaza Trip (prod. by Numonics)

Speaking of innovative (building off of my MadKem post)  how about this beat from Numonics for this single for Saheed.   Is that Frank Sinatra?  I can’t tell for sure but what a great sample and beat for this song!  Meanwhile Saheed uses this song as a forum to discuss what;s going on in the land of his ancestry, the Gaza Strip.  You think your world is a ghetto?   Don’t get it twisted.
