This joint is top choice in my book. I talked about the music before when I briefly reviewed the single, but it begs repeating how dope this beat is and how each emcee puts in the necessary work to make it memorable. I can’t wait to hear Wolves in it’s entirety.
Heddshotts – Heddshotts Militia (Video)
This Heddshotts crew is no joke. Anyone who flips Carl Orff’s “O, Fortuna!” gets massive props. These guys have that raw uncut hip hop that I look for, so if you are looking fur unadulterated dopeness look no further. You can cop their album on iTunes.

Note:
Our reigning champ, M-Dot, shot this project over to me many moons ago, while he has been galavanting around Europe on tour with the likes of that group you may have heard of,…Slaughterhouse. Unfortunately it has taken me this long to get to do a write up on the project. Really, Layer Cake, is a collection of guest spots, features, and rarities that M-Dot has put out or been a part of in the last 12 months. While it isn’t an album, there are plenty of dope tracks collected together worth talking about.
Single You Out: Pause Beats – Walk With The Lions (ft. Torae, Chaundon, M-Dot, and Dominique Larue)
Murderous. Simply murderous. Pause Beats, I don’t know who you are or where you come from, but this my friend is a winner. Superb production. The emcees know a dope beat when they hear one and kill it…

Single You Out: Tenacity – I Don’t Get Them (ft. Gameboi)
Finally a good hip hop song in my inbox. I can always rely on the BBAS fam to cheer me up with some new music. Tenacity and Gameboi join forces with J57 who once again laces a beat that really is heads and tails above industry standards.
Apparently, Tenacity and J57 have an EP coming out this summer. Cheers to that!

CF – We Gone Rock/Voodoo Economics (Video)
When it comes to spitting salvos of information in dope prose I look no further than CF. He mingles punchlines, flow, and a wealth of information seamlessly. Honestly, to me, this is the most talented artist on the Creative Juices roster and a top ten emcee in the game right now, period.
Another level type ish…everyone else…step your game up.
Single You Out: Soulogik – Just Know (ft. L.E.G.A.C.Y.)
Featuring L.E.G.A.C.Y. Pt. 3 will be out on Monday and Soulogik’s new album, Cabin Fever, will be out on July 30th. I appreciate any track I hear L.E.G.A.C.Y. on. I like this track in particular. It has a 1920s club feel, but maybe that’s just me. Oh well. Dope is dope.

Single You Out: BioLogic – Scientific b/w Level Headed
BioLogic stumpled across my blog and decided to submit his project for me to listen to. I did. It’s good. He is a good writer and has good wordplay. I am not going to have a chance to review it, but I wanted to pass it on to my readership and so I selected my two favorite cuts from the album to “Single Out”…enjoy.
