Ask me who is the illest lyricist of all time and Chino XL’s names has to enter into that conversation. He is one of those artists that just calls you attention when he spits his bars. Just a man who is in total command of his craft. I can not wait until his album, The RICANstruction: The Black Rosary, drops. But if this is what the entire project will sound like, I think the populous is in for a treat. Enjoy the first single from the album!
I wanted to share both of this new track with you guys. Just Flowing has been on a serious grind as of late. When I listened to his first mixtape I could hear the talent but I wanted to hear some more polished tracks and sound from him before I started posting his material. A few months later, I hit you all off with his track w/ Mav, Heartless. I thought that track was honestly very dope and deserved recognition. But now the man hits me with another, more meaningful banger, which further illustrate the man’s talent and progression.
The Unknown Prophets just recently became familiar with me when emcee, Big Jess, dropped a double album for free earlier this year. I really liked a lot of the material and vowed I would not sleep again, hence I am putting you on to one sick sounding track that features none other than Planet Asia. This cut is so very ill. Everything about this track warrants a hip hop fan’s attention. Be on the look out for World Premiere 2 this Fall. Credit 2DopeBoyz for this find!
Slaine’s new album A World With No Skies 2.0 just dropped today. It is a really dope album that should be supported. The man always puts a lot of energy and emotion in his work so make sure you at least check it out. Here is the first video from the project. One of the guests is Checkmark who once was the frontman for the Skitzofreniks. He has a project himself coming out cald Vita Matta.
New Outerspace is dropping next week. I have copped all of their other releases so count me in for this one as well. Enjoy the visuals.
On that MadKem kick right now. Yesterday I put you on to Death At The Chophouse and today I got wind of this video for Black Mamba. Enjoy and start getting excited for his new album dropping in September.

Note:
MadKem has an album dropping in September and this mixtape is to serve as a precursor to that album. It is a compilation of older material and compilations MadKem has appeared on. I am familiar with MadKem from his appearances on all of those Elementality/DJ KO EPs that were produced last year. I liked those a lot. I also am a big fan of Silent Knight, and as you can see, he is all over this mixtape. So I expected this mixtape to be pretty dope. But to put it plainly, this really exceeded my expectations.
MadKem is a lot iller than I gave him credit for. He has a great mic presence and his lyricism is very clever throughout. So now I find myself fiending for this new album next month.
You absolutely have to give this mixtape and download and listen. It’s imperative. This is one of those moments you can have as a listener where you can enjoy a release from start to finish and come away with an appreciation for an artist you may not be familiar with.
Fel Sweetenberg’s album, The Sophmore Jinx, was one of the first posts I had ever put on HHD last year. I thought the album was very dope and still remains very highly slept on. This video serves as a testament to that fact.
I have been waiting what has seemingly become eons for this Mally & The Sundance Kid album release. In the meantime, they released this video for, Heir Time. It’s a dope video, but in the music is where the greatness lies. You can check out a slew of Mally’s other material on his Bandcamp Page.
