Boldy James – 5 Missisippi (Video)

I’ve been sleeping on Boldy James. Not sure why. Not sure what kept me away from his music but I need some redemption here. His album with producer Real Bad Man, Killing Nothing, is a stand out project. And from start to finish it ranks up there pretty high at the midway point for the best of 2022.

This video is probably about or over a month old, but I had to showcase this. Real Bad Man is a stellar producer and deserves more props and credit than he gets. His projects are dope and his skills are in front of you right here. He laces soul with darkness for this venture and Boldy James give you the realness in his unique style as to how he navigates life with snakes in his company.

Definitely peep this project.

Single You Out: M-Dot x Apollo Brown – Done

All I can saw here…is…WOW. Obviously, I am a huge fan of M-Dot. I showcase pretty much everything he puts out because he’s that good and consistent. But I can say without as much as a waver that this is one of his BEST cuts…EVER. This is a shining moment of 2022. M-Dot has worked with alot of dope producers, but man, how he graces this amazing Apollo Brown production is other worldly. And content wise, he puts today’s game on full display and roasts it. Illustrating all the shortcuts and smoke and mirrors that today’s artists utilize save for talent, and fall flat on their face.

…I’m just shinging light like God on the first day…

Single You Out: Whip Beats – Word On The Street (ft. Sean Price x Skeezo)

No matter how much time has passed since Sean Price’s passing, it remains refreshing to hear him on a project so many years later, and serves as a ever present reminder as to what a gift he is. Plus you also hear from the homie Skeezo, and it’s been a minute since Ive heard him bless a mic, and he gives it the royal treatment.

The production is handled by France’s own, Whip Beats. And he has a new dropping next week according to sources.

Single You Out: DJ Concept x Ghetto – Antiproiettile

I know who DJ Concept is. He’s been doing this for a long time and at a high level. But I was not familiar with Ghetto as an emcee, but I got familiar really quick. This is simply an ill combination. These beats with the lyrical artistry is nothing short of immaculate. And if you love this track (my favorite), you need to cop the full project, Ghetto Concepts. You will have no regrets. This is one of the best releases of 2022 up to this point.

Shabaam Sahdeeq & Nick Wiz – Watch ya mouth (ft. U.G of Cella Dwellas & D.V Alias Khryst) (Video)

Featured above is a video for the single from Shabaam Sahdeeq & Nick Wiz’s album, Cabin Fever. Watch Ya Mouth, features U.G. and D.V. Alias Khryst and exhibits a chemistry that has been forged in a decades plus of making music together. The song shows that age is not relevant when it comes to making high quality hip hop. This song, if anything, puts a stamp on the fact that these artists have merely gotten better with time.
