Single You Out: Bugout – Enforcer

Oh shit! This is a track that is not to be missed! This beat by DC The Midi Alien is simply insane. I love all the different sounds he gathers around these snapping drums, most noticably that guitar riff! And Bugout (Granite State) lyrically destroys the track around scratches from DJ Myth. I mean these bars are super slick!

This is a Top 25 track this year…no doubt in my mind. It has everything a hip hop fan could want. And the best part is, it’s just the tip of the iceberg coming off the trio’s collaborative project, 69 Berkshire which is due out in the fall.

Single You Out: Shabaam Sahdeeq – Watch Ya’ Mouth (ft. UG of Cella Dwellas & DV Alias Khryst) (prod by Nick Wiz)

The venerable, honorable, and supremely talented Shabaam Sahdeeq has a new project in the works produced exclusively produced by Nick Wiz. And for their lead single they bring in UG and DV Alias Khryst. The results go heavy and you have been fore warned. You don’t want to test this dopeness. So many years in the and dope projects to their credit, the skills and sound are still sharper than ever.

UFO Fev & Vanderslice – Crack Shifts (ft. Flee Lord) (Video)

UFO Fev rested all of 15 minutes before he’s back at it and continuing on that tear of dropping heat in large amounts. This time we have the video single, Crack Shifts, off of the collaborative project with producer Vanderslice, Enigma Of Dali. We also have the equally dope and prolific, Flee Lord on the track. So with the combination of all three artists you knew this one was going to knock heavy!

Single You Out: Chuck N Lock – Flying Dutchman

More Chuck N Lock, you sa y? Yes please! The duo is back with some poetic introspectiveness over some horns from producer, Ecto 84. The beat really allows you to be entranced by the lyricism and pick up on all the metaphorical nuances. Chuck N Lock have a way of phrasing things that make listeners have “aha” moments. They are crafty lyriciststs. For instance…

“I realize I want a lot in life, and not my lot in life”

“I want to be a book worm, not a larva in a kindle.”

Premrock – Death On The Installment Plan (Video)

Premrock is a damn poet. As I have followed his career through this blog it has become apparent across time that his skills and style compare to no one, making him one of the most unique features on the site. His wordplay and his lyrics flow and fall together just differently than his contemporaries. And you are bound to catch something different with each listen.

His new album, Load Bearing Crows Feet, drops tomorrow.

Nutso – Head Shot (Video)

It’s been a minute since I have heard Nutso deliver a joint like this. THIS is the kind of banger this artist was known for and I love to hear him rocking the mic this relentless. Wow. You can hear his tenacity. He’s coming for heads…and what I love is that he also produced this joint. He created a legit neck snapper here with the keys, drums, and that chorus.

I can’t wait to see how he builds off of this. Hip hop needs Nutso.

John Jigg$ x BP – Intro (Video)

You know when you give your Intro the video treatment, it’s got to be pretty fire. And this one is exactly that. John Jigg$ and BP have a neck snapping intro to their collaborative project, The Madness. I remember listening to this and thinking: “This is the damn intro?!” It’s more than just a precursur to how dope the EP is. One of the best this year, if not THE best. I love what BP does with the production and that vocal sample and Jigg$ just keeps grinding “like an engine that’s needing oil”. And no, this talent can’t be ignored when it keeps showing up time and time again with every release.
