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.
Single You Out: McNastee – Going Through The Motions
The NSD team releases the first single for McNastee’s Pity Party Rockers which is now slated to be released on October 2nd. McNastee serves as the team’s crooner/lyricist and really promotes a different sound than the rest of the camp, or maybe it’s the sounds I associate most with NSD. Whatever the case, it’s a dope cut with production from the venerable DJ Bless.
Juan Deuce – Larry Sellers (Prod. by Falside)
Another jam from Juan Deuce’s No Sweat mixtape produced by Falside. Video crafted from thoughts of thieves jacking penguins, wheel chairs, and handguns. Be sure to check the mixtape!
Sparkingtin – Been In The Game (Video)
Sparkingtin brings you the next video release from his most recent effort, Keep It Cloudy. Sparkingtin is an artist that HHD was built to promote. He’s got gritty lyricism, rawness, and a hunger about him.
Make sure you check out the mixtape. It’s a free download.
Single You Out: Mayhem & Jerz – City High Rises (ft M-Dot, Chaundon, & B.A.M.)
This single is lifted from Mayhem’s latest project, MayJerzachusetts Island. I love the staccato horn on this track’s production as well as the well thought lyricism from the emcees. B.A.M.’s verse really knocks heads! The cuts from DJ LP2 are also a welcome addition. Good cutz can never be overstated.
Single You Out: Vinnie Paz – 7 Fires Of Prophecy (ft. Tragedy Khadafi)
New music from Vinnie Paz’s upcoming album, God Of The Serengeti, which is due out October 22nd. This reunites Vinnie Paz with Tragedy Khadafi who has appeared on previous Jedi Mind Tricks records. Beatnick Dee is on the boards providing the rough and rugged atmosphere that we continue to expect from the Pazmanian Devil.
Single You Out: Cayoz – Everybody’s Talking (ft. JaMoN)
This time Cayoz takes on the doubters and the naysayers over this smoothed out track. If you aren’t up on Cayoz at this point it’s time to study up. Here is a man who is showing and proving EVERY TIME he decides to unleash a track. He’s a very consistent, yet ill, emcee.
