Ceremonial Master is the first offering, from JustMe’s forthcoming album, Full Disclosure. I am digging the production and JustMe has always had a flow that I can appreciate.
Trademark Aaron – I Know (Video)
Well, at first I was indifferent to this video and the music. Then I thought I would go back and listen to it again. And while it was not love at first listen, there is something about Trademark Aaron that I like. It could be his sense of humor. It could be his flow. I am not sure I can actually pin point it. But I went and looked back at another video that he put out last year and was impressed enough to want to hear more and pass this on to you all.
Single You Out: OTiS CLaPP – Pick Ya Pants Up
This is a fun hip hop track that dropped a few days ago. The vocal backdrop is cool and the instrumentation keeps the production interesting. OTiS CLaPP has a different style and delivery altogether which make this a refreshing listen.
King Mez – Reign (Video)
King Mez ONLY drops gems. He’s a monster. He produced this track as well which is mighty impressive. I love the choral loop along with the guitar. Be on the lookout for the new album, My Everlasting Zeal.
Starvin’ B x Spit Gemz – Rhyme Burial (Video)
Man, these guys kill it each and every time. The Opposition and Starvin’ B are bringing back that NYC street mentality in well thought out dope verses. If you haven’t copped Starvin’ B’s album, The Food Chain, you need to stop thinking about it and do it.
Single You Out: Skeezo – Big Bang (ft. Alpha Faktion)
This another tough joint that has sat in my inbox for way too long. This is my first exposure to Skeezo I think, but my initial impression is that he has the skills to make it a long way in the game. Alpha Faktion also represents nicely. The beat is the handiwork of ALTERBEATS who is known to drop some bangers.

Single You Out: L PRO – The Cypher
This cut is pretty laid back until you hit the chorus and then L PRO starts to shake things up a bit. I like his delivery. His lyricism was on point so I thought I would spread the word. This cut is coming off his forthcoming album, Vertigo which is set to drop, for FREE, on March 15th.
Awkword – Bars & Hooks (ft. Sean Price, The Kid Daytona, The Incomparable Shakespeare) (Video)
Yo Awkword! Can we get that World View album in it’s entirety? I’ve got some dolo to to put towards the cause!
Anyways…back to the song at hand. The emcees are playing the pied piper over this flute, just leading the masses. I also am reminded during this track how slept on The Kid Daytona is. That was a dope verse. All verses were on point…but, damn…his was off the richter.
Make sure you check my interview with Awkword if you never had a chance. Dude opens up…
Single You Out: Jesse Abraham – Back Off
You don’t know Jesse Abraham. You have no right to judge him. So back off! Well, that’s the gist of the track but it’s orchestrated in an extremely entertaining style as only Mr. Abraham could pull off. I talk about unique flows from time to time and this man most definitely fits in that conversation. You will never mistake Jesse Abraham for another artist. That’s why I always try to feature his music. It’s tough to find dope artists who bask in originality. Blam!
Uno Hype – Train of Thought (Video)
I have been sleeping on this artist. I don’t know what I thought he was about, or why I haven’t checked his music, but that will soon change. I like these drums over the electronic pulse. It really lets Uno Hype showcase his lyrical prowess. His flow is impressive.
If you like this song, check his mixtape on DJ Booth entitled FXCK THE HYPE
