This is a DJ Brans produced banger off of Revalation’s new project, Feature Presentation. The sound is live. DJ Brans always delivers on these tough tracks while Rev, joined by Senica Da Misfit and Don Streat, make sure to represent to the fullest. I have to say, I have never heard Senica Da Misfit previously, but his bars leave a lasting impression. I would be interested in hearing some more material.
One of my last few posts before these end of the year accolades come through. This is a dope cut from Miz and Page Turner. The production is strong with the banging keys from producer Page Turner, and Miz really adds a lot of energy on the mic and a very conversational flow. I am definitely going to be checking for these guys in 2014.
CYNE is back with a new album, All My Angles Are Right, dropping in 2014, and Tears For Uriah is the first single from the upcoming project. CYNE has a sound all unto itself, it’s hard to describe and impossible to duplicate.
Some new freshness has been gift wrapped via Cool FD from Orleans, France. You remember, Cool FD right? We did this write up on him not that long ago? Well he’s been back in the lab and he and Sdotkeen have been cooking up something delicious. This is almost like getting taking to church on a Friday. It’s a very soulful joint. As for Sdotkeen, I am going to have to check for him some more because once he got started, he really held your attention with the gift. Please partake!
Hopefully this is the first of many dope tracks that we will hear off of Little Vic’s, The Reaper. Vic teams up with long time collaborator Velotz on the production and shares the mic with 9Five. The result is a bluesy rhythm riddled with introspection, food for thought, and dope wordplay. Enjoy!
New music from Apollo The Great just before the Christmas holiday is gift enough for me. Rio De Janeiro is produced by Linzprag and will leave even the most fickle of hip hop fans flabbergasted. Apollo The Great’s new album is dropping in early 2014 and is entitled, New Jersey Joe. Stay tuned for that but also make sure you check his highly acclaimed album from 2012, Hennessy Diaries.
Another single from Big O’s new album Gravel Engravement. Absoulut and Adlib join the track over this 4th Assassin beat exposing those emcees who exaggerate their life in one way or another. Make sure you check out the album, and also check out our interview HERE.
Always good to get some new music from the homie Donnie Darko and the NSD camp. Darko is really an underrated emcee who spits with a lot of vigor and when he teams up with the production from DJ Bless, heads should just hit the deck. This track is a single from Darko’s forthcoming album, Redemption so keep a look out for that on 02/04/2013.
Usually I provide my own commentary, but who am I to address something so personal? I will let the man Sareem Poems tell the story behind this track with Imperial, with a toast to fatherhood and good hip hop music:
Around the time Imperial and I were starting our project, he released an instrumental called God Bless the Child. Everyone raved about it and the emotion of the beat grabbed me. I immediately thought about my son Zaire, the journey to the day of his birth and the lengths I would go to make sure he knows that he is loved.
I hit up Imperial about the idea of adding vocals to his masterpiece. My lyrics detail my personal journey of being a father. I’m sure that other fathers and mothers can relate. It was also a chance to have my wife sing on something (her voice is beautiful). I hope I have added to the brilliance Imperial shared with you all not too long ago.
Revalation released this posse cut from his Feature Presentation project that drops tomorrow. Skammadix, the producer, makes this joint absolutely go! It’s got that uptempo BPM with some banging keys that are sure to get the a’ snappin. The lineup of Rev, JoJo Rose, B.A.M., Tribeca, Ellementt, and Punchline all proceed to do some serious work.
