Singles, Albums, EPs, Mixtapes, and Videos that get the HHD thumbs up.
Jake Haw and INF released a project called, Mountain Of Black Glass, and this is some illness you can find from the project, and overall dope! Certified master wordsmith, Taboo joins the track along with Dystrakted. I really love the production on this whole joint. Lots of acoustic guitar mixed with neck snapping drums. If that’s your thing (and why wouldn’t it be) you should check it out.
Good gracious! This track right here is simply the platinum standard for 2021. This production from Body Bag Ben is immaculate. And Chino XL continues to add to the legend he has garnered throughout the decades. The lines involving “golem” and “paying back student loans”…had me run this song back several times on their own merit. This track is something special.
Cyne seldom releases new music these days, but whenever they do….it’s gold. They have a style all unto themselves, and in this case delving into the spiritual, the religious, and the social. So let them peer in your consciousness with this track, Reset Sunset.
The Quarter Inch Kings and Zagnif Nori continue their grind this time adapting the moniker of wrestler Brett Hart. But indeed this track is executed flawlessly, as they have been in the series of joints they have put out recently.
Tek Bully just released a new EP, Legend Has It, produced entirely by iTrak. I am listening to the whole joint right now and am sharing this rock/blues infused joint, Legend Energy. It’s got a different vibe that sets itself apart. I really like the production and how it harnesses the emcee’s energy. Tek Bully impresses every time he blesses a mic and you can hear it in these bars.
Love it! Dray Yard, producer our of Belarus, unleashes this single with two heralded emcees in Juice and Capitol I-Man. And if you aren’t up on these guys, then you need to step up your hip hop history. These men are incredibly gifted artists who still perform and articulate at very high levels. And Dray Yard continues to provide dope production and impeccable pairings of emcees, which has become something he is most definitely known for.
This is a little bit of repost from a 2017 drop I did. I just saw it up on bandcamp again and thought it was worth resharing. One of the illest duos to never to it ENOUGH! Blak Flag and Sherm Larock kill it every time. There are no weaknesses found in their music. It just hard-bodied hip hop
Slant from Heddshotts has a new project out with production duo, CloaqxDagger, Cerberus. And these artists on their own are notorious for dropping bangers and now you have them joining forces for that hardcore boom bap.
Napoleon Da Legend is another artist who puts out a consistent flow of dope music, and I really like the creativity that he puts into his latest single, Building Politics. Over a DJ Dister piano laced production, NDL navigates the trials and tribulations of living and making music in an apartment complex. I am sure lots of listeners can relate to this dopeness!
Please stop sleeping on these two! Terror Van Poo and Vinny Idol are cooking up some amazing music and people need to recognize the skill level that’s being put on display here. Idol laces what seems like a sample from Bollywood that is just sick, and Van Poo’s words slice through the competition. Really a dope song!
