Singles, Albums, EPs, Mixtapes, and Videos that get the HHD thumbs up.
I didn’t get to post this video a week ago, but I am still going to be sharing it because it’s that kind of dope people need to hear. You’ve got Rigz and Milano Constatine paying homage to the legend Big L with this short but compelling joint. Constatine laces a nice beat for Rigz who really represents. This joint goes hard.
Don’t confuse talent with pride, that’s just your ego / At once side you can dunk a little, but lack a free throw.
Reks and Little Vic get busy over a fresh production for the single, Reversed Latin. The lyricism and cadence of each emcee is complimentary, making this short track packed with quotables such as this one from Vic.
You ain’t got no fucking power here / Try to wrestle my thoughts , leave em’ cauliflower ear
Muggs and Eto linking up proves to instantly be an ill combination. Muggs is lacing up something that can best be described as sinister, with this latest production, and only made more so with the visuals. Eto, meanwhile, is making an early push for busiest emcee in the business. He is bringing a gritty fire to this track.
Hells Roof is the forthcoming album, and this has all the trappings of something great.
First single from Waterr and Farmabeats new project which is dropping on 02/22/2019. This is smooth and yet haunting at the same time. Waterr and guest Ty Farris navigate the dark corners of Farmabeats’ production, with survival tactic and the differential for what it takes to make it in the hustle.
Locksmith gives us the Jarren Benton features track, Ghost, as the latest video single from his album, Ali.
I just listened to this album last night and was reminded how much I love Locksmith’s flow. His introspection and observational lyricism puts him in a class by himself. He and Benton are a really great pairing.
We always promote Nutso and his music. 2018 was a really quiet year for one of our favorite artists but he’s already setting a dope tone for the new year. If you haven’t been in the know…get familiar!
DZ The Unknown and C-Lance channel the darkness and cook up a witches brew of sobering effect. The dark strings, guitar, and sample provide ample shadow for DZ’s Inner Demons.
I have heard now two songs from the forthcoming project, Observe and Adapt, and I am looking forward to it greatly.
This track is a couple weeks old (nearly) but it’s going to get a proper feature on here because I am really feeling this combination of Lee Ricks on the mic and BigBob on the boards. Ricks articulates the travails of life and BigBob interweaves the iconic AZ song from the 1990s to perfection between bars. LDontheCut providing the scratches. Love this!
Solomon Childs and Tone Spliff release the video single for this joint off of their collaborative album, The Prophet and the King, which is out now. This is just no-nonsense hip hop and these two artists are definitely not playing. The song has a melodic vibe to it but this is not sing-a-long rap. Childs is delivering heavy-hitting bars and Tone Spliff adds the necessary scratches for all the dope touches.
Check it out!
