This is the first single off of Kyle Hubbard’s forthcoming album, You’re Not That Special. This really is just the tip of the iceberg. You are definitely going to want to hear the rest of that joint when it drops on March 20th. This beat by DJay Cas is synthed out but has a high energy ‘epic’ feel to it. Hubbard is the one who makes this track original though. So often it seems he just takes a beat (any beat) and contorts it into something special.
Voli is a really unique emcee to me. He really has this incredibly poetic quality about him. It’s like he is spitting prose from sonnets when he hits the mic. A really different way of wording things and crafting punchlines. I look forward to hearing some more material from him. This song carries with it that trademark Voli soul and meaning. Not one syllable wasted…
I have been knowing about Serge Severe and now you are officially invited to the party. Terminill crafts a unique and energetic production for Severe’s wordplay. It’s a little rock, a little industrial, ALOT hip hop.
His album Service Without A Smile is dropping next month…early next month. Check for it!
Why can’t I get a hold of the Welcome To Hellzgate project? I am about to start a riot. Every joint I have heard off of this album has been pure heat and this is the best one yet. Lyrically, this lineup is responsible for bodying this beat from One Take. Some really great lines and flows on this joint But really, it’s Carmen Indhira who makes this a great song. Love the voice on the chorus. It just really holds all the verse together
We see you down here in Austin, Texas.
The man Kyle Hubbard is back at it again, thank goodness. I personally think he is the nicest lyricist my state of Texas has to offer. He has that blend of intelligence and grittyness I appreciate. His new album, You’re Not That Special drops in two weeks, on March 20th. And even though, you’re not that special, you can trust that his new album will be.
Video treatment for a track off of Chaundon’s album, The Jammington. It’s short but sweet. I expect nothing less than a dope product from the man and he once again delivers. A model of consistency to fans and contemporaries alike.
I am probably one of the few people that haven’t caught on the Roc Marciano bandwagon. That’s not to say I don’t own his album, because I do. But this track, Poltergeist, produced by The ArchDruids is really nice. He sounds dope over this kind of spooky production.
Wow. What a nice surprise this was! I own most of these jawns from Critical, but to see them all in once place is impressive. The man has put in work, and this project puts that into perspective. Critical is a very talented emcee on the Creative Juices roster and has an album dropping later this year entitled, Electrical Tape. My favorite joints are his collaborations with Little Vic which are done under the monniker, Hidden Agenda.
Check this mixtape out. You are bound to find some interesting gems.
I am fully on board with the Never So Deep movement. Sutter Kain (DJ Bless) and Donnie Darko have done so much to impress me over the last six or so months. I know that I am late on this, but it’s better to be late to the party than never to have arrived at all.
As usual, Sutter Kain, laces a banging beat. The keys in production remind me of an organ that the Phantom of the Opera would be playing. The emcees all sledgehammer the track (means hitting it hard). Really dope music coming from this camp so stay tuned…
