I love me some Jamo Gang. And J57 brings the the trinity back together as Ras Kass and El Gant join him for the track Jamo Jamo off of his forthcoming EP San Gennaro which drops on March 31st. So in just a few days.
The track is dark and draws you into the intricate wordplay of the three emcees with the finishing touches provided by Deejay Element on the cuts.
Planet Asia and 38 Spesh are back joining musical forces for their single, Crumble Cake. I love when Asia jumps on a Spesh beat because it’s that raw, grimy and gritty. The piano laced track and the bars that abound make this one the sure shot.
A new single from the Creative Juices came comprised of Jise, Alucard, and IDE. And these guys always bring collective flavor to the game. Creative Juices has been around for a long time and has certainly evolved over the years, but the consistency has always been high quality music. And that’s what you get with their single, Proximity. Their flows, while all unique, weave equally ominously over this hauntingly boom bap production from IDE.
New album, Yantra, coming at some point this year.
Savage Souls is a group that doesn’t release a new project every few months (and maybe that’s the right method, who am I to say?) But when they do drop, they bring some serious heat, and that’s no pun intended as I share their track, Pompeii. The track has a great intensity to it in both the production and lyricism. This track drives hard and I would definitely suggest you pick up the new project, After The Blood Spills.
I wanted to showcase a cut from Enels most recent album, Kill All Evil. The project is really good and there is an assortment of dope cus on here to choose from. The production on the majority of the joints is supherb, and the wordplay is nice. I am going with showcasing the cut, The Valley II, featuring Pablo. The piano sample with this beat is just too ominous to ignore and the pen game from our emcees is just nasty. But I advise you to check the whole project. You can thank me later.
The answer to new dope from Supastition is always a resounding ‘yes’. It’s been a while since he’s released a project and he’s about to unveil the world he has been living in these last couple of years with the release of his new project, Every Last Word, which drops on Tuesday. It’s a project where he not only does he provide the rhymes but also handles the production. The project is a personal narrative, and the single Scatterbrain was the lead single which actually dropped a few monthst ago but sharing now. It’s where Supa constructs and follows the bassline, narrating the course of his life and career.
I am a huge fan of WateRR. He has a very impressive discography as it stands. But this upcoming album with the production collective Lupara, Compendium Of Arcanum, is shaping up to be his best work to date. I really love this track, Whenever The Drama Came. This beat from Bohemia Lynch, the lyricism from WateRR and Defcee, and the chorus that binds, makes this a great listen.
Oh good gawd this joint is a heat rock and a half. Skinny Bonez Tha Godfather and Words team up with Mickey Diamond and Dro Pesci for music to murk to. Bangkok Bar Brawls as a title sounds like the perfect reflection for the music itself. Each emcee has the gravel to lace som kill shots in their respective sixteens. This is a combo that belongs together on a track.
Stu Bangas and Recognize Ali are back at it for 2023 accompanied by Lord Goat for their first single Pulverized. This is a precursor for the new album Guerilla Dynasty 2. And this song is nasty. Bangas has a subtle, yet devious hand when it comes to the beat and string sample on this track. And Recognize Ali and Lord Goat exchange verbal blood baths making this the first sinister track of the year.
