This dropped over a week ago but this is my first time listening to it. It’s really nice. It’s the boom bap and the funk all rolled up into one air tight hip hop song. Really strong flows too. This is a head nodder that you will remember.
Ras Kass & Doc Hollywood – I Wave (Video)
Some visuals off of the outstanding collaborative project, Spit No Evil, which you can find in it’s entirety on DJ Booth. Make sure you check that. It’s a great buy at…free.
Single You Out: Ancient Alienz – Brutality
Ok…so this track from NSD doesn’t have that Sutter Kain production that I have become addicted to, but it does knock. It’s reminiscent of some 1997 12″ joints that I enjoy playing. Certainly something I think the HHD readership will enjoy.

Single You Out: Mokeout – Pray For Me
Yeah you get the video too. Mokeout is one of the most slept on emcees. His collaborative project with Tone of the Problemaddicts, Shot Heard Around The World, was one of the best of 2010. So trust me, this man is dropping some real shit. I can’t wait to hear an entire solo project.

Kyle Hubbard & Fullmetal F Dot- Around The Way (Prod. by Djay Cas) (Video)
Another dope song from Hubbard’s album, You’re Not That Special. In this cut, Hubbard and his compadre, Full Metal F Dot, rep Houston to the fullest. At times you just need to pay homage. You need to stop sleeping on this artist, and download this album.
Tese Fever – Victory (ft. Born Unique & Kaimbr) (Video)
If I see Kaimbr on your record, rest assured I am going to check it. It’s on that “don’t test” and “you don’t want none” type steez that when done properly, can really shine. This joint shines.
Kayohes – Stranger (Video)
This video from Kayohes hit my inbox and I thought it was worth sharing. I like the production and Kayohes has a nice flow. I’m not completely sold, but this is solid. I would like to hear more music from the man to listen to what kind of emcee he is.
Single You Out: Grey Sky Appeal x Qwel – Brains
Grey Sky Appeal and Qwel team up for a project entitled, Occam’s Razor. Brains is the first taste of the EP. This song bodes well for the rest of the project. It’snot run of the mill material and really a tight cut.
Passalacqua – Dead Fish Eyes (ft. Doc Waffles)
The Passalacqua gang is at it again. There are two things that are certain about my friends from Michigan. Number One: They are outstanding lyricists Number Two: They have the most entertaining videos.
And leave it to them to recruit an artists who spits mad bars from his bathtub…haha…
You know you love them…
