Single You Out: nanigan nickleby – Old Ben Kenobi (ft. Eddy Shanks)

a2459999117_2

I saw that nanigan nickleby was doing work with Tokyo Cigar, of whom I am a fan, so I decided I would check his project, Dead Letters in Exile, out.  I was pleasantly surprised.  This release is different than what is offered by the status quo.  The word ‘refreshing’ seems appropriate.  One of my favorite cuts from the album is Old Ben Kenobi.  Nickelby shows off his clever writing skills, refuting the bandwagon and offering listeners something new.  The singer, Eddy Shanks, also does a good job of injecting that soulful/rock element to the cut.

If you dig this cut, make sure you check the album.

Single You Out: Nutso – Phuk It! (feat. Problem & Bad Lucc) (prod. by Reef)

Nutso is doing something so few artists have done, especially on the level of a whole project.  When the Western Union project drops next week it represent a union of two coasts.   He will be working exclusively with emcees from the Left Coast, showcasing some of the best talent in the region.  This is the first single from the project featuring Problem and Bad Lucc.  Quite simply, it knocks.

Single You Out: Jus Daze – I Made It (ft. MVP and Devo D)

Now this usually ain’t my steez.  It’s a little too uptempo and optimistic and I am just not that kind of guy.   But the song is too well put together not to share it.  The chorus by Devo D really completes the cut in between sixteens from Jus Daze and MVP (from WWE fame, who knew?).  It’s the type of joint that definitely could rock a club and steal some commercial success. I Made It, is just the tip of the iceberg from the Walk Twice As Hard album.  One of the things I like about Jus Daze is that he is one of the more substantive emcees I feature here.  He’s always dropping material that gets you thinking and while  I Made It is not exactly in that lane, make sure you give the album a deserved listen.

Single You Out : Snake Hollywood – Radio Silence (Prod By NY Bangers)

He’s tired of the nonsense he’s been hearing on the radio. Snake Hollywood is not going to dumb it down for the masses.  He is going to give it to you one hundred, and if that’s beyond your mental acumen, so be it.  What I love about Snake Hollywood is that he doesn’t hold back the fact that he’s an intelligent artist and that comes through in each and everyone of his songs.  NY Bangers is on the production.  New project is on it’s way on November 29th entitled, My Condolences: Addendum.

Single You Out: One Dae – Bang This (prod. by Marco Polo)

The fire for hire is back!  One Dae is set to drop his album, Daes and Times later this month and he makes a great impression with this Marco Polo produced head knocker.  And please don’t think that One Dae is a new jack making his first move in the game.  He’s been putting in work for years, this is just the first you have probably have heard of him.  But if you didn’t know before, now you know.
