New single from Wrd Life and Shanty Gallo’s forthcoming EP, 786. This track is an appreciation joint for where the artists hail from. Wrd Life sharing stories and giving perspective to his residence over Gallo’s production and relaying words of wisdom gained during the time spent in true hip hop fashion.
I am always a fan of Conflikt’s production. You may not know him by name but I am sure you have heard his music. He’s got a new album dropping soon, The Cull. And his first single features Zagnif Nori, Jamil Honesty, TAP OUT, and Juice Mega. It’s a banger so stay tuned for what’s next!
I want people to check out this new album from Bronx Slang, Substance, and the best way to do that is to showcase my favorite track from that album, Jane. Jane closes out the album and I simply love the production and vibe of the song, with strong lyricism to match. Thought the readership here might enjoy it as well.
Video single for the track, Black Sinatra, off of Rick Hyde’s new album, Plates II, which is out now. Here he sits with the BSF team of Benny The Bucher and Heem, as the narrate the the tales of their early beginnings on street corners to their current musical success.
Dope music as per usual for the family!
When someone uses the term “barbarian bars” this should be the case in point, right here! Termanology, Lil Fame, and Sheek Louch spit some lethal bars over this Amadeus production which makes this one of the most savage tracks in the land for 2021. I mean…savage. This is top choice bar fest right. You absolutely can not disagree with me.
New album from Termanology and Amadeus, 360, out now and I am about 10 seconds away from copping, you should too.
From the album, Gorgeous Polo Sportsmen, Futurewave and Raz Fresco give the track, Solar Flare the video treatment. The production and the lyrical element just blend in a coherent vision here. I love what almost feels like a native american element in the music with the wind instrumentation, and Fresco just drops a science that cuts through the air like a whisper in the wind. Sounds really good.
Loving Marlon Craft’s flow on this new cut, Pace, which is cominig off of his upcoming release, Homecourt Advantage Volume 1. It’s a good vibe and mantra as artists try to find their own groove and move their careers and lives in their own way. Definitely love seeing Craft evolving his music and sound ove the years.
Evidence lets loose another video single from his album, Unlearning, Vol 1. This is one of my favorite cuts from the album as it has a touch of angst and darkness that is in part made possible by the one and only V Don and his production talents. The production style really suits Evidence which is scant on drums but heavy on depth. The way the guitar lends itself for Evidence to drop the truth of his life an perspective.
I didn’t feel enough people were given this project from Freshman Woes enough shine and I thought I should do something about that. This is my favorite joint from this dope producer album, Thank The Rap Gods, that recently dropped. I love the heavy funk driven track and the line up of emcees that grace it’s presence in, Blu, Planet Asia, and MED.
This may not be a song that was originally crafted in 2021 but it’s definitely going to be in my “Best Of” list by years end. It’s too strong and dope to be ignored.
The whole project is diverse and has an original knock to it. I strongly recommend you check out what Freshman Woes has going on.
Bub Styles tags in Spit Gemz to spit some fire bars over this Farma Beats production. And this union of talent creates some serious fire from Styles forthcoming album, Budhini: Escape Artist, dropping on September 3rd. This is the kind of joint that gets the streets in an uproar so stand up and salute!
