Single You Out: Rahim Samad – Have Discipline

avatars-000033232624-358hfs-t500x500

 

Here’s another new name to my inbox, and I am glad to offer it up to you to listen.  This joint from Rahim Samad is nice.  Again, some guys are just blessed with a voice to be an emcee, and Samad qualifies.  He rips this banger from producer KeyBoy (again, another dope producer from France?  What’s in the water over there?)  The rhymes are also of the highest quality.  The whole vibe is reminiscent of something from 1994.  Ain’t nothing wrong with that.  As fat as I know this is not attached to a bigger project, but I am interested in hearing more from him.

Single You Out: Rite Hook – Lose Control (ft. Action Bronson) (C-Lance Remix)

I am not sure if I even remember the original.  I will have to go back and check for it in my iTunes.   But what I do know for sure, is that this track is a beautiful piece of work.  It’s easily one of the top five tracks I have heard from Rite Hook.  C-Lance really gave this track a ton of character with this joint.  Definitely one of those songs that will stick in your head (like so many Rite Hook songs do when you listen to them).  The new album, From The Wrong, drops in a couple of weeks.  Be ready.

Single You Out: Gripz – Dead Presidents (prod. by Anno Domini)

Gripz is going after it right now.  I can’t blame him.  He’s been away from the game for a minute and he’s ready to make the push for his latest effort, Poetic Literature Vol. 3.   Gripz is on my short list for the best emcee you have probably never heard.  He consistently spits flames and now he’s got Anno Domini all over this new project.  That’s the combination I have been pushing for.   This track is a different vibe, but the same dope result.  I’m going to keep telling you people until it sinks in.

Single You Out: Zilla – Southern Man

IMG_28503633037937

Zilla and producer Lamar Mitchell are playing with a loaded deck because if they keep making hits out of these loosies, I can only imagine what a full length or EP is going to sound like.  They are making other artists look paltry with just a handful of dope joints.   The duo murked their last single we placed here,  Blind Man.    Now they are back with a brand new single, Southern Man.   The song in many ways is telling other artists to get their heads out of their asses and think about what they are bringing to the table, and what their legacy will be.

Single You Out: Rome Clientel – L.E.G.A.C.Y. (prod. by ATG)

Cover-TheCoronation

 

 

Rome Clientel’s dropping one more single until the release of his third EP, The Empire 3: The Coronation.   L.E.G.A.C.Y. is about being something more than just a flash-in-the-pan emcee.   Rome is planning to build something a little more permanent for himself, his family, and his fans.   This is a long term endeavor.   The EP drops on Tuesday, so make some room in your hard drive.  You won’t be disappointed.

Single You Out: Silent Someone – Lab 82 (ft. EL Da Sensei, Oktober Zero, and Shaz IllYork)

Lab

This is a release that has crept up on me because I don’t even know who Silent Someone is.  But now I have a better idea after checking out this tight production.   The somber vocal sample combined with those drums is a nice twist.  I also like how the beat alternates every so often giving it a different sound and an appeal.   Lyrically, Shaz Illyork, El Da Sensei, and Oktober Zero pay homage to the art of graffiti and do so properly.

Silent Someone’s new album, I Have Company is due any day so just keep your eyes peeled.

Single You Out: Gore Elohim (Non Phixion) – Children Of Doom (ft. Red Eye x Born Unique x Venom) (Prod by Beatahoe)

New single from Gore Elohim (formerly known as Goretex from Non Phixion) entitled Children Of Doom.  The track features fellow heavy hitters Red Eye,  Born Unique, and Venom. The Production comes to us courtesy of Beatahoe.

This is coming off of his new album, Electric Lucifer, which you can order from his website now.  And as I understand it, this will be hitting all digital distributors on October 31st.   I have yet to listen to the album but the reaction from those who have heard it has been extremely positive.   If this track is any indication I would say it’s DAMN good.

Friday Feature: Printz of Peepz – Moments In Love Remix

artworks-000060996935-urc9rs-t500x500

Printz of Peepz is back for the 4th and final installment of his Friday Feature series.  For the final track, he has elected to drop something totally different for the masses to contemplate.   The song is called the Moments In Love Remix and is produced by Face Valyou.  The cut is a re-rendering of an Art of Noise song circa ’82-83.  It’s tracks like these that show an artists’ versatility.  It was so different from the previous installments I was caught a little off guard.  The BPM is at a fraction of the pace I have heard PoP spit on but once I got to the chorus I was sold on the vibe.  This joint has a very ethereal sound to it as PoP contemplates love and those instance that conjure those ‘special’ feelings.

Remember if you are feeling Printz of Peepz music, follow him on Twitter, Facebook, and Soundcloud so you can stay current.  I hope you all enjoyed these fresh sounds!

Single You Out: Little Vic – Speak No Evil

artworks-000060993504-mf3al2-t500x500

 

I absolutely love what Little Vic did with this beat!  That guitar work is just awesome.  I always think of Vic as that superlative rhymer and tend to forget that he has a knack for some dope production.    This song is rapid fire and has Vic spitting flames once again.   I am not sure if this is something that will surface on his album.  If I know Vic, probably not.  He’s prone for just dropping random sickness.
