Single You Out: Gutta & Nems – War (ft. Block McCloud and Fresh Jones) b/w Tommy Boy (Gutta)

These songs are just nasty!  Nems and Gutta team up for the track War and Tommy Boy is a solo track by Gutta. Nems is just coming off the release of his album, Filthy Fly Shit which has a number of bangers on it and it’s good to hear Gutta again on the mic.  His album, Heads Will Roll dropped three years ago.  It was produced by Blue Sky Black Death and was vastly underrated.  It still is something that I will play from time to time.  His style has a grimy ferocity to it.   These new songs bode well for what is to come.  Both cuts have beats that knock.  Gutta has a new mixtape dropping soon so be on the lookout for that.

Single You Out: Cold Heat – Raising The Bar (ft. Blacastan, Craig G) b/w Spanish Guitar (ft. Nico The Beast, SR, Neta, Meyhem Lauren)

It’s Cold Heat, baby!  Jak Danielz and Johnnie Walker are back with some more burnerz for your IPod.  Both of these tracks are coming off of their forthcoming album, Raising The Bar.    That album should be dropping on July 12th.  If you are not familiar with their previous work  it is time to do so.  They really put together some great music.  They are known for working with some of hip hop’s finest artists, but don’t get it twisted.  Jak Danielz is an iillll spitter.  He has a flow that makes you do a double take and these tracks are no different.  Enjoy these jawns until the album drops, then be sure to cop.

Single You Out: Kontact & Black Knight – Free

Kontact and Black Knight have been representing the DMV well on a ton of mixtapes in the last year or so.  I can’t wait to hear their own mixtape, Eye Of The Storm.  That will apparently drop on July 25th.  Their songs have been incredibly consistent, and on Free you get something that is just special.  The production is powerful and really can’t be described in words.  Lyrically they exhibit great prowess, again staking claim that the DMV is a leader, not a follower in this hip hop biz.  Congrats to them, their grind is officially paying off…

Single You Out: BBAS – Get Ready (DJ Brace Remix) w/ The Agenda (Marco Polo Remix)

Oh what’s up with the Brown Bag Allstars? As usual…ALOT. These guys are always making moves either as unit or as individuals and this time they hit you as a collective. Brown Bag Season Vol. 1 is a collection of tracks both past and present. One of the things you will notice is that there a number of remixes on the project and they have released two of them for your listening pleasure. Of course they are free…

The Get Ready Remix by DJ Brace is my favorite track off of the project. The lyrics and production are nothing short of amazing. The other cut is a remix by Marco Polo of the track The Agenda. Anyone who is familiar with Marco Polo’s work knows to expect brilliance.

Check these tracks and be sure to cop the album. You won’t regret it one iota.

Single You Out: Stonecutters (IDE x Alucard) – Fall Of Persia

Stonecutters - Fall of Persia Cover Art

IDE and Alucard team up to form the group, Stonecutters.  They have an album on the way and Fall Of Persia is their first offering from that project.  The production sounds like some music that is used to haunt a chapel.  It has an eerie yet mystic vibe to it.  I am definitely feeling it, and if you are feeling it as well, why don’t you cop it for a $1 and contribute to the making of the album.  Creative Juices Music put out that quality hip hop so show some love!

King Mez – From The South ft. Thee Tom Hardy & Sean Boog (Video)

I am going to be honest with you (as opposed to me lying all the time, I know).  This video had me smiling the whole time  through.  It looked like it was a lot of fun to make and you just don’t see that anymore.  People having a good time in videos?   Who came up with this concept?  Well, everything is exceptional about this song.  It comes off King Mez’s latest project, The King’s Khrysis.

Single You Out: P.L.O. – The Heat (American Language Remix) ft. Has-Lo, Zilla Rocca, and Curly Castro

The Heat (American Language Remix) Cover Art

I am still getting caught up and a lot of dope music that was in my inbox when I was without a computer and fixing my music library.  This maybe the illest track that I missed out on.  This is several weeks old and probably made it’s rounds on the blogs already, but that’s not the point.  It really deserves some shine.  This is a remix to an overseas project and is being used to showcase some of the talent that the US has.  It serves as an ode to the Smoothe Da Hustler and Trigga Da Gambler 1990s classic, Broken Language.

I for one think they did a great job.  The beat is ill and the wordplay and chemistry between the three emcees is second to none.  Zilla Rocca is one of my personal favorites, but Has-Lo and Curly Castro are really equal to the task.  They each drop dope lines over and over again.  Too many in fact to mention, but a big shout out for the “Billy Baldwin” line.  That was funny.  Check it out below and look for these artists’ material.  They have plenty of material out there.
