Single You Out: Sgt Over – The Bad Guy

a2612113028_2

This was of course released a few weeks ago, but as I was incognito for a moment, it did not get posted.  DPS is fam in these parts as the crew consistently drops dope tracks so it’s little more than a guarantee that their music always wind up on HHD.   This track from SGT. Over doesn’t seem to be destined for any project in particular.   It’s simply a track that lets him distinguish himself from the rest of the pack over a Knox produced track.   He’s just flexing the skills and that’s OK by me.

Single You Out: Vinnie Paz – God Bless

Vinnie Paz is back on his grind…wait did he ever stop?  Nah.  Paz has been incredibly consistent in putting out good work since 1999 when I was rocking the Amber Probe EP on a hiss-happy cassette.   Now, God Bless features Paz at his very best.  He’s got a really nice flow on this joint and producer Mikey Bingo has got the track hoppin’!  Great beat.

This track can be found on Paz’s forthcoming EP, Carry On Tradition, dropping on October 29th.

Single You Out: Shabaam Sahdeeq – U Don’t Want None (ft General DV) (prod by Alterbeats)

Shabaam Sahdeeq is back with a song from his forthcoming project,  Keepers Of The Lost Art, which unfortunately has a release date into next year.  This song should get people amped for the project, and rightfully so.   Alterbeats gives the song a Dragnet appeal with the horns in the background and then lets the snares simply crack.  General DV (DV Alias Khrist) also laces us with the gravelly hook, which gives me a moment of nostalgia.  Shabaam Sahdeeq knows how to do the rest with his raw lines and crisp delivery.

Single You Out: Apex Zero – A Meeting Of The Continents (ft Hasan Salaam & Iron Braydz) (prod By DJ Fortune)

I love the way DJ Fortune flipped that Dexter theme song.  That’s some good work that instantly grabs the listener’s attention.  Another thing that grabs me instantly is Hasan Salaam’s verse.   His voice just holds you at attention so you listen carefully to each word.   I have always been a fan of his work.   This is all together a nice track that can be found off of Apex Zero’s next album.  Reality Provoking Liberation, which debuts on October 28th.

Single You Out: Nino Bless – Rhyme Of The Year (MK Ultra)

I keep hearing that Nino Bless is young.  Well if his years are young, his flow is that of a super-seasoned vet.  I mean seven minutes of straight intelligent bars?  Damn!  His wordplay is at an elite level and I dare someone to tell me otherwise.  Other artists beware, because if the son is shining brightest you might get lost in this man’s shadow!  The fire production comes courtesy of SCOTTZILLA.

Single You Out: R-Swift – Problem

It’s funny that his single is premiering on HHD the same day as post the Quadir Lateef review for Fool’s Gold.   R-Swift is reiterating the same sentiments as Lateef in many ways.  He too recognizes the ills of the record industry and the type of image they are trying to promote.  Really relevant material.  If you are diggin this track, he has an album that was recently released entitled,   Apply Pressure.

…we almost lose our life to the ignorance we promote…
