This is a nice cut from Charmingly Ghetto’s latest project, Scotland Yahd. It’s smooth but will still have you nodding your head. I haven’t heard the EP, but I will be getting on that with the strength of this record.
Single You Out: The Audible Doctor The Audible Doctor – Genuine (ft. Blacastan & Wise Intelligent)
It’s a very soulful, yet heavy joint. Although, I find any time you have Wise Intelligent on your cut, it becomes heavy. Dude is just deep. This is everything we expect from a joint from The Audible Doctor…no less than excellence.

Single You Out: Godilla – Terror (ft. Aeyone, Glomgold, Burke The Jurke & J.O. The Last Man) (Prod Hakiki Bela)
I spotted this track over at TheHipHopHead and was really impressed by how hard this joint banged. First off, Godilla is that man right now. Maybe not a lot people know about him but this emcee can deliver the verbal artillery…consistently.
This cut if off of his upcoming album, Altered Beast. So check it out by visiting the TheHipHopHead by clicking the link below.

Friday Feature: illMEASURED – Thought You Knew (w/ UllNevaNo)
illMEASURED is a producer out of the DMV area that I have been checking for since DAY ONE. Ever since I heard some of his production off of the Rome Cee album, The Grey Area, I new that this guy was hidden talent that just needed more exposure to his craft. The man can create productions that range from jazzy and laid back to those boom-bap bangers we all know and crave. He is as exceptional as he is diverse. So every Friday throughout the month of September we are going to be looking at new and old and projects from this producer to showcase his talents.
For this week’s installment, I present to you a recent cut illMEASURED produced for another HHD mainstay, UllNevaNo. The cut is called Thought You Knew. This song is a great demonstration of how illMEASURED intermingles so many different sounds to create the perfect track. The horns, the vocal sample, and the scratching is a definitive hip hop moment. It’s easy to hear why he is being featured here in just under four and a half minutes. It certainly doesn’t hurt that UllNevaNo more than owns up to his end of the bargain by dropping bar after bar of heat.
Enjoy…
Single You Out: M.A. Cee-Kings – Flow Of Silence
We may have missed last Friday’s feature but I will not deny this man’s potential. He delivers another raw and dope flow that I had to share. The joint is dark and M.A. Cee-Kings rips some ruthless bars for us to enjoy. Go to this man’s blog, follow his Twitter line, and check out his Soundcloud page, but make sure you do not continue to sleep!
Single You Out: Apathy & Celph Titled – School For Scoundrels (Prod Ayatollah)
This joint was originally recorded back in 2007, which just goes to show you that music from Apathy and Celph Titled is timeless. The two really are a great combination. This track can be found on the Coalmine Records compilation, Unearthed, which will see the light in early 2013.
L.U.K.E – The Parlement (ft. Sage & Abstract) (Video)
I introduce to you, HHD’s latest find…L.U.K.E ! It’s really good to see younger (younger being quite relative) artists embracing hip hop. L.U.K.E. and his compadres, Sage and Abstract prove to pretty lyrical individuals over this Little Villain production. It’s definitely something hip hop heads can appreciate. Be on the lookout for more material from our brethren!
Elley Jeeze & Fundamental – Trilogy (Stars/Always You/Showin’ Off) (Video)
This was just recently shot over to me by the producer of these joints, Fundamental. And unlike many of the other projects I receive, this one was very polished and show a great deal of promise. Even though this video has been out there a while, it still is relavent as it is the first single for the duo’s album which drops in October, entitled H.I.T.S.
Every part of the video shows off a different aspect of talent from both emcee and producer. Enjoy!
Single You Out: Masterminds – Suicidal Pigeon
New joint from The Masterminds off of their first album in ten years entitled, Giant Antlers. The Masterminds put together some great albums in the last decade, notably Stone Soup and The Underground Railroad. Damn, it’s hard to believe it’s been that long. Anyway, it’s great to see them back.
