Single You Out: B.a Badd – K2 (prod by Revenxnt)

In an effort for complete transparency I was sitting on this project from B.a Badd for too long. I purchased is several weeks ago but I never added it into the rotation until this weekend. I am glad I finally saw the light to take a trip into the dark. Revenxnt produces the entirety of the album, The sun will set, and laces simplicity with the ominous, as if the streets were being set to the light of a blood moon. You can hear that mood in the track I selected to share, k2, in which the piano is the vehicle in which Badd takes us on the perspective of trust no one but his own initiative and mind set.

Don’t sleep on this work of art!

Single You Out: Skanks The Rap Martyr – Industry Plants

Skanks The Rap Martyr just released a new project exclusive to his bandcamp, New Word Order 2. One of the most consummate emcees in the game in my opinion, Skanks delivers not just average word play, but meaningful bars. Over the years he has hit me with several “oh wow” moments and he doesn’t fail to do that here either. On Industry Plants, over a Greezi Amiin banger, Skanks details how the industry cultivated an image and motion, and how he connects that with today’s politics. It’s short but really dope. Pay attention.

Single You Out: Awon x Confidence x J Ferrera – Pieces of my Soul

The team comprised of Awon, Confidence, and J Ferra just released the project, The Process, which I copped, listened to, and celebrated this weekend. And now it is time to bring that celebration to you! The album is chocked full of dopeness. There is lightheartedness, depth, insight, lyricism, and a musicalitythat really is unlike anything I have heard in 2026. You can hear all of this in the track I am choosing to share, Pieces of my Soul. First I really love the production from Confidence. If I was to call this a ‘beat’ I would be doing it a grave injustice. This is composition. And Awon breathes added life into this by pouring that artistic soul over the track.

Single You Out: Nutso – Redemption

Some tracks hit a little different and become a little more personal…and more than the content, here it’s the artist himself that makes the statement. Nutso was one of the first artists I promoted through the site. He had that raw street energy with a gift for rhyme. To put it in perspective we were repping Nutso at the point he first went by the name Nutrageous. So that’s a long fucking time ago. I stacked his releases for years. He has a discography of bangers. But then music started coming through a little less frequently, and it just felt different to me. Life happens behind the music. So when I hear him release a song called, Redemption, and hear him go at it like this…it’s powerful. It literally is “redemption” and he is here to claim it. He has that energy and perspective that can ignite something big. HHD is ready for that!

Single You Out: Jay Royale x Rigs x DJ Ace the Cut Lieutenant x Pete Twist – In The Height Of Nightfall

Two of my favorite emcees link up over a Pete Twist banger! Jay Royale and Rigs drop potent sixteens on a true head nodder from Twist. This is exponential amount of skill and wordplay on one track. The two emcees are a great fit for a collaboration…case in point. Intelligently menacing!

Apparently, this might be off of a project called The Author’s Misery. Can’t wait for that!

Single You Out: Drink Radio & Worms Ali – Worthwhile (ft. Wordsworth)

Would you like to listen to something off the beaten path and different yet rooted in hip hop? If you are a little tired of the mundane, I present to you this new project from producer Drink Radio of Australia and emcee Worms Ali. It takes ALOT these days to craft something of a different flavor in hip hop that does not sound indecent. Usually if an artist steps “outside of the box” or tries something avant garde it comes off as “weird” and undigestable. But Drink Radio and Worms Ali, did the near impossible with their release, Blackholes & Souls.

I think this is one of the best releases of the year in my most humble opinion. Drink Radio fuses some great musical elements for this project for Worms Ali to paint his lyrical pictures. And we also have some amazing guest spots with Blu appearing several times, and Planet Asia to name a few, but the track I choose to feature is Worthwhile featuring an impressive sixteen from Wordsworth. It’s interesting and thought provoking.

If you truly want some new flava in your ear, check this out and spread the word!

Single You Out: Slik Jack & Vincent Pryce – Longlive The Lowlife

The new album from Slik Jack and Vincent Pryce, too put it bluntly…knocks. Yesterday Ain’t Today’s Price has more than just a few bangers on it. The guest spots are on point. The lyrical prowess is strong and the beats all knock. I highly recommend this project as a whole and I can always feature the Daniel Son joint (he does not miss!) but I am actually going with the track, Longlive the Lowlife. I love this beat and Slik Jack bodies it.

If you love this track, I strongly encourage you to check out the album!

Single You Out: Let The Dirt Say Amen & Superior – J.O.N.A.H.

J.O.N.A.H. is the second single from the Superior and Let The Dirt Say Amen’s forthcoming project, The Saint, The Servant, The Sinner. Superior leads with a rock guitar sample and Let The Dirt Say Amen creates the pocket for him to expound upon…in his words “my voice, his plan”. The way he connects consonants, bars, and ideas is clever and unique. This kind of music requires multiple listens and patience so that you can really dig in to the message. Enjoy your musical travels!
