Single You Out: Sareem Poems & Imperial – God Bless the Child

artworks-000065684308-9i94h6-t500x500

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.

Single You Out: Revalation – Take No Prisoners (ft. JoJo Rose, B.A.M., Tribeca, Ellementt & Punchline) (prod. by Skammadix)

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.

Single You Out: Snowgoons – Still Real And Raw (ft. M – Dot, Jaysaun, & Journalist 103)

Snowgoons Black Snow 2 Promo

New single lifted from the Snowgoons’ latest project, Black Snow 2.  I just listened to the album a few days ago and I think its the Goons best work in a minute, so make sure you check that out. Still Real And Raw brings together that vintage German boom-bap with the rhyme stylings of M-Dot, Jaysaun, and Journalist 103.   Everyone who follows HHD knows M-Dot’s prowess.  Jaysaun can spit just a few bars a year and make a headliner.  Journalist 103 has at least one classic album under his belt and severely underrated one as well.  So is that ill enough?  Enjoy this collabo!

Single You Out: Solo For Dolo – Family Values (ft. Ren Thomas and Billy Snubbs)

Solo For Dolo is releasing music at a fairly good pace and now we get word that his EP, Back To Basics will be dropping on December 25th free of charge, in conjunction with producer, Don Producci.   For this track, the two invite Ren Thomas and Billy Snubbs on the mic as well. Producci really gets cooking with this production.   It’s f’ckn fantastic.  He’s got some groovy percussion, keys, and a killer sample.  The emcees all get live on this one with some dope bars.  This is the sure shot.

Single You Out: Lordwillin x Big O – Bobby Heenan (prod. by 4th Assassin)

4th Assassin

Lord Willin and Big O tag team over this 4th Assassin banger.   The track gets it’s title from former WWF manager, Bobby “The Brain” Heenan.   I am not sure how this title is derived from the song because I don’t remember much about Heenan.  But who cares?   This track is dope.  4th Assassin always brings out the best in emceees (ala Big O’s last album, Gravel Engravement).

Single You Out: Coarse Company – Bohemians

coarse-company-same-name-cover

 

New track from the collective known as Coarse Company, which is comprised of Koncept and Tenacity.   And for these Bohemians the sky is the limit when rocking over this uncredited (as far as I can tell) production.   The two emcees really blend their unique styles for the sake of making some good hip hop.  That’s selfless.

Their project, Same Page, drops for free on December 17th (a mere day away).

Single You Out: Tribeca – Forever Rain (ft. Mayhem (EMS) & Lisa Denise) (prod By 2’s & BlackBrown)

Mayhem from the EMS camp broke me off with this new track  by Tribeca that he is featured on.    Forever Rain is something that us regular folk can really find solace in.  Sometimes we feel like circumstances and conditions are constantly against us, but we still persevere.  The chorus by Lisa Denise is also a highlight here.  Her voice relates to the hope that the emcees are referring to.
