I have been sitting on this joint for s second, for no good reason. The beat we’ve all heard before but the flows and rhymes kick it up a notch. I am pretty familiar with Savant from his Crash Series. I could tell from those joints that he’s a talented artist. MedafORACLE and Mr. Miranda are also no slouches when it comes to emceeing. Thusly, you have bar enrichment.
Single You Out: The Day Laborers – On The Side
I have always enjoyed The Day Laborer’s music. This joint can simply be described as…smooth. It’s coming off their forthcoming album, Deep Space Soul, which will be entirely produced by Rain.

Warrior Muzik – Lifetime Fever (Video)
Here’s another local ATX artist worth supporting. Warrior Muzik brings a lot of energy to the track and the production is on point. Finally, another artist from my neck of the woods that I can get behind!
Single You Out: King Mez – Monte Carlo
I am a sucker for a great sample and that’s exactly what Commissioner Gordon has here…a well placed sample. Whenever King Mez and Commissioner Gordon team up, brilliance happens. A great musical tandem. My Everlasting Zeal drops on May 30th.

Playdough – No Angel (Video)
Some visuals from Playdough’s album, Hotdoggin‘, which was highly appreciated last year on HHD. It’s a really fun album comprised of the necessary dope beats and rhymes but also riddled with messages to think upon.
Single You Out: Uncle Sam – The Learning
Uncle Sam hit me up a week or so ago with this cut of him flipping on this Havoc instrumental. I typically do not like posting emcees working over industry beats but I think he is pretty talented and wanted to share it with you all. Overall this is a good first impression. He has a nice flow and cadence.

Note:
It gets to a point where I could share every song off this mixtape as a single, but why not offer you guys the full picture of what it’s all about? And at this point I am just going to say it: This mixtape is top notch. If you want fifteen tracks that knock speakers with no filler of fru-fru material, St. Fatrick’s Day is the joint you are going to want to own.
Single You Out: Quake Matthews – Warrior Remix (ft. Freeway x Termanology)
Quake Matthews? Never heard of him. I am feeling a little ignorant tonight. I feel like he should have been on my radar with a track such as this. But damn….this track is hot. Lava rock on the grill while in the Sahara type hot. Straight off of the album, Book Of Matthew. We may have to check this out. This cut has me hype.

Single You Out: Lyriciss – Get It & Go (Remix)
Fresh off of the DJ J-Scrilla mixed project, Capitol Punishment Vol. 2. I haven’t heard the whole thing myself (computer issues), but I always associate DJ J-Scrilla with quality. So when he attaches his name to something you can bet that it will be tight and as singles go, Lyriciss brings you a gem. Check it…
Kap Kallous x Vikto Beats – I Get Down (Video)
This is the first taste of Kap Kallous and Vikto Beats joint venture, The Martian EP, which drops next Tuesday on their website. The beat on this joint has an ominous and sinister feel to it which fits Kap Kallous just right. I have copped all of Kallous’ projects and undoubtedly this will be just as good, if not better than the rest.
