New music from Judge The Disciple who I first heard last year, and definitely feeling his introspective style mingled with his intricate word play. This dope track is coming off of his recently released project, Espresso Depresso produced by CloaqxDagger.
….the whole world’s a stage until the actor breaks method….
Yeah, I’ve been sleeping on the music of Ullnevano, and every once and a while I need to be reminded how dope an artist is. And here is that reminder I am sharing with you all. Raekwon’s Table, is just the track to showcase Ullnevano’s dexterity on the mic over the heavy drums of God Sense Beats. Showing you that only a few are allowed to break bread at the table of legends.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg. This single, while ever so dope, isn’t even my favorite track off the album, The Ghost Of Reggie Lewis, which you should check out now!
Man, this truly is a Christmas gift! Producer Ugly Tony links up with two of my favorite artists of all time that have been featured on this blog. The Absouljah and Halfabrick link up in what feels like forever to show that they can still bring that lyrical fire over some inspired production from Tony.
V Don linking up with Ransom seems like a union of superpowers and it appears as though they have a new project dropping soon dopely titled, Chaos Is My Ladder. This single, Short Notice, is putting the listener on notice that something wicked this way comes. I think Ransom’s thoughtful provocation plays extremely way with V Don’s pensive soundscapes. This is going to be great! Guest bars provided by Lloyd Banks.
I just caught wind of this new release from emcees Obnoxious and Madchild, entitled, Mobsters & Monsters. This video is older in the blogging game and I should have caught onto it sooner, but this joint is really tough and the album was released about a month and a half ago so I am sharing now. Lots of dope bars in this one.
Nobody Gone Stop Me is a dope new single from the uber talented emcee, WateRR. This beat from DJ Phonz is really dope. That string sample is intoxicating. I love the uptempo vibe and WateRR takes on the beat effortlessly with his usual gusto as one of the most distinctive talents in the game. This is another sure shot!
Jay Royale seemingly only makes heat rocks. He had that one joint with Kool G Rap earlier this year that was total flames, and then this joint, The Wise & Lakid, he’s got Havoc dropping some heavy bars. And this production from Ray Sosa very much has a 1990s Mobb Deep flavor. And the pen game proves razor sharp on both ends of these sixteens.
Ty Farris is back with the video single for the title track to his new project, Pain For Ya Vein. And if you don’t know by now Farris has bars for days. This song is relentless in his abilities, and shows why he’s one of the most sought after features in the last few years. Definitely cop the new project along with his discog. Ill without fail.
They used to laugh when I was loungin in last but I outworked them and I polished my craft now these rappers talking about a collab
M-Dot and company fired this video single off to me, and it’s super fresh. German production team, SoulRocca, provide and excellent and energetic backdrop for one of our favorites to sink his teeth into. I say this all the time, but the track Toil again hits this note for which M-Dot is famous. It’s that hard work infused with talent that sets him apart bar by bar from others. Love this joint.
And you can hear more from SoulRocca off their new album, In Good Company. A lot of dope features on there and you can hear the talent from behind the boards.
New video single from Comet and Swab’s collaborative project, Authentic Kloth. Foreign Wasteland brings a soulful realism in that boom bap fashion. Swab’s vocal sample is pretty special on this joint, while Comet breaks down the land of good and evil bar by bar.
