I had just listened to Reckonize Real’s latest album, Subterranean Obscura, earlier today. And when I first heard this track lead off, I was hooked. I REALLY love how he articulated this beat! Hard to put into words how this vocal sound impacts the song. It’s almost like a chant that provides a white canvas for Weapon E.S.P. to spit a juxtaposition of bars that will keep the head reeling.
Rasheed Chappell – Manna From Heaven (prod. by Little Vic) (Video)
Rasheed Chappell dropping some street insight with proper poetic perspective over a production that Little Vic simply made cry. You hear how though one might be removed from those streets you grew up on, you still embrace and stay connected. This joint is short but really poignant.
Chappell has a new album dropping, A Portrait Of, on December 9th. Mark it down. Not to be missed.
Planet Asia x Body Bag Ben – Heist the Crown (Video)
New video single up for the title track from Body Bag Ben and Planet Asia’s collaborative album, Heist The Crown. As always, PA delivers the goods over some sinister boom bap music box beats from Ben. These guys are about as prolific as they come when it comes to crafting music in the last couple of years. Coming at you in a torrid pace.
Single You Out: 38 Spesh x Harry Fraud – Speshal (ft. Stove God Crooks)
Harry Fraud and 38 Spesh linking up sounds like a total win. And not only do they have this single, but they have a new project coming out November 18th, Beyond Belief. And that joint should make it on everyone’s calendar to cop.
Speshal features a laid back guitar lick induced track from Fraud and guest bars from Stove God Crooks. Definitely vibing off of the sound.
Single You Out: Benny Slumz x Tone Spliff – Act Accordingly
This is a choice track from Tone Spliff and Benny Slumz collaborative effort, From The Slumz. Act Accordingly is that joint from the album. The beat, the scratching, and these bars will have you rewinding this track often. Really dope song from a dope EP that everyone should check.
BP x E Class – In These Streets (Video)
E Class and BP are back with a new video single, In The Streets, and a new project, Speak No Evil See No Evil II. These artists have great chemistry and bring a strong amount of energy to their music. BP ONLY produces bangers and some of my favorite joints from him feature E Class on the mic. And to the point, this joint is tough, and I am definitely going to cop their new one. You should be on that boat with me.
Boldy James – Flag On The Play (Prod. Futurewave) (Video)
Boldy James and Futurewave? Yes, please sir, can I have some more! The combined smoothness of these two artists is a blessing for the listener. Flag On The Play, is the lead single off of the forthcoming album, Mr.Ten08.
Don Def – Future Reference (Video)
New joint from emcee Don Def with production from Sherm LaRock (whom is extremely underrated). This song can be found off of his new album, Cypher Complete. It’s safe to say that this is a legit banger so we should all be inclined to check the full length.
Single You Out: Skeezo & Whip Beats – Old Habits
I know alot of you are not familiar with Skeezo, but this guy is a consummate emcee who has the complete gift. And in the year 2022 we are seeing a resurgence from this talented artist. Backed with some dark heat rocks from producer, Whip Beats, Skeezo is heading back into your ear drums and staking a claim. This bass line with the guitar licks spells the trouble needed to get our emcee into his “old habits”. This song comes equipped with toe tags as bodies are bound to be caught!
New album, Return Of The Bad Guy, coming next month!
