Memphis hit me up over email regarding this video for the original version of Agnes In Wonderland. We previewed the excellent remixed version earlier this year. This one is just as dope.

Note:
This isn’t an official album. But it is officially from One Be Lo and it would be a crime to not even mention this release on HHD. This is the prelude to the release of his album, L.A.B.O.R. I believe these are older or unreleased tracks from the Michigan artist. For the most part they are all banging and high quality. It is just a taste of what this elite emcee can do when given a microphone. I am admittedly a huge fan of his and have been such since the Binary Star projects released earlier last decade. Some artists simply have a way with words.
Now this mixtape isn’t exactly free. It’s coming in a $3. Now if you can’t afford three dollars to support a dope hip hop artist then I want you to “unbookmark” my site and “unfollow” me on twitter because we just can’t be acquainted. With that being said you can stream the whole album below and click the Bandcamp link above to purchase.
Single You Out: PH – County Of Kings ft. Sha Stimuli, Skyzoo, Ruste Juxx & L.R.Blitzkrieg
This is the second cut off of PH’s forthcoming album, entitled Know The Ledge. This cut and the formerly mentioned, Hollywood, show a ton of promise. I am eager to get my hands on the project. You can purchase the single below now if you so choose. The album drops next Tuesday. I am copping.
Single You Out: maticulous – Once Invented Remix (ft. Reef The Lost Cause and Soul Khan)
Ummm…yeah…this track is just viscious. Massive amounts of replay value for this remix. Reef and Soul Khan absolutely kill it. You can check out the original on maticulous‘ EP HERE.

The Black Opera – God’s Camera (Video)
Some dope visuals for an equally dope song. Don’t drink the Kool-Aid but do cop the EP
Single You Out: 9th Prince x Midaz The Beast – Thundercats
There were well over one hundred songs leaked in the last few weeks. I passed on posting a lot of them because while they might have been good, they just didn’t move me. This Tzarizm produced track puts so many other of those ‘leaks’ to shame. The drums hit so hard and the piano chords make this production beastly. I have always been a fan of Midaz. He puts out quality work. He has an aggressive style and always seems like he is attacking mics. 9th Prince I am familiar with but really haven’t checked for him. That may soon change.
Enjoy!

Note:
I make no secrets on this blog about the artists I am feeling. And usually, the pattern repeats, as consistency appeals to me. This brings us to the latest work by Boston artist, Rite Hook. I have spoken to his appeal before but to recap previous posts, Rite Hook has great song making ability. He is able to put intelligent and emotional music together. He also has become a master at being able to construct dope hooks. His dark crooning really ties his songs together.
Single You Out: Soul Khan – Soulstice III
This is the latest work available from in incomparable Soul Khan . Soul Khan always is putting in work. Enjoy his hard work and if you have not picked up Acknowledgement please make sure you do so at your earliest convenience.

Silent Knight – Stayin’ Busy (Video)
I am going to keep on you about this emcee, Silent Knight. I have been following this man’s music for a minute and his skills are of the highest caliber. There’s no doubt about it. When Busy Is My Best Friend drops, you can bet that SK brought his best to the table. There’s no album that I am more anticipating this year. Couple SK’s skills with the fact The Audible Doctor is behind the boards, I reckon this song is my single of the year so far.
Single You Out: Praverb the Wyse – Blessed With The Gift Remix (IV the Polymath)
Not only is Praverb a good person to poly about hip-hop with , he is also one hell of an emcee in his own right. IV the Polymath sent this over and I am most definitely feeling his musical twist to the track. Praverb is a spiritual emcee and you feel the soul and intellect he puts into a track like this just like you felt when listening to him on teh Brainstormer’s project. Be sure to check this joint out!
