Pause Beats recruits some elite wordsmiths for his latest single, Change That. Destruct, Chaundon, and Kastaway drop some bars over a more laid back and jazzy vibe from producer Pause Beats. It sounds all good to me. I can’t wait for this man’s project to drop.
I am late to the party with this track but I wanted to share it with you anyway, just on the off chance you haven’t heard it yet. It’s one of my favorite tracks this year. DJ Quickie Mart puts together a superlative beat with congo/bongo percussion and the emcees all drop some nice gems on their verses. This song is just some feel good music with an uptempo vibe.
You can find this track on Haze Diaries Volume 4. It’s free and definitely worth your time and hard drive space.
Video single from Adlib off of his Bad Intentions album. Adlib’s got that raspy, grimy flow that just goes hard over this piano driven beat. Make sure you check out his album if you like hard hitting, no-frills rhyming, you will love that joint.
New single from the EMPBeTheTeam album by DJ K.O. The emcees articulate stories about that girl who had a little too much to drink in the evening. The production mellow, perhaps even a little soulful, while lyrically it’s all just a little humorous to hear the emcees discussing their tales of the drunk girl.
This joint hails from the upcoming mixtape of the Swiss production team, Soulslicers. The group brings in the horns for this joint while Skeezo and Kaymerda bring some tough lyrics to the microphone.
Bekay has had enough! All the crazy thoughts going on in his head and the frustration of the last few months stored up, he goes for delf on his latest single. The song is edgy with no hook. Bekay just releases angst in the freshest way possible.
Enjoy…
The guys pull on the heart strings of record collectors and music lovers everywhere with their dedication to Fat Beats NY, a pace where they combined talents and emerged as the artists they are today. The Audible Doctor fixes up a wonderful production which is pretty typical for him.
The team’s new EP, Brown Label Part 2, drops next Tuesday, on September 4th.
The Legend Of The Gnome Sword needs to drop already! This is the third single we have featured and it too is very dope. It features one of the dopest artists out right now, Shaz Illyork. The production is low key but demonstrative enough so that the emcees all spit some heavy bars.
This is just the New York gritty we all need…
I still bump the last The Red Giants’ album, Chain Reaction. And this song proves to be a continuation of their past work. Jermiside is an extremely talented emcee with a quick delivery and concise wordplay that is always enjoyable. Brickbeats really shows out on the production though. He provides a bluesy hip hop vibe and switches up the beat periodically to keep the listener attentive.
The duo’s next project Supercharged will hopefully be hear soon…
