Another banger to be added to the credentials of French producer, Alterbeats! This beat is lethal with these banging keys. I am not all that familiar with Innocent? (though I am sure I Have featured him on here before) but I like his voice a lot and it flows very smooth over this production. His content also involves relevant and real subject matter.
New Cayoz material, and this time he brought a few friends to rock over some Spanish influenced hip hop production. I didn’t realize that Cayoz’s production skills were so refined either. He definitely put together something proper with Letras Liquidos. One of the things that has been a MO of Cayoz is the fact that he puts together thought provoking music. But what gets lost in the translation sometimes is just how technically gifted he is as an emcee. Sageinfinie and P Hill The Genesis both make solid contributions with their verse as well. And what can I say, that I have not already about DJ Grazzhoppa? I will say it again though for those of you who have not been listening: Grazzhoppa has the Midas Touch. If he is on the track, it’s going to be good.
The Suicide Kings just dropped their album, Crown Of Thorns, a few days ago. I just picked it up yesterday and there are some tracks that have some serious knock to them. This is one of them. If you like albums heavy on boom bap and aggressive wordplay, you are going to like, Crown Of Thorns.
The names that are involved in this project are ones that you can automatically associate with being a banger! All of these artists have been featured on HHD before and received high acclaim. Now they unite for this track which is the jump off for Tha Soloist and Trilian’s new project, Exit Thru Gift. That album is slated for an early 2014 delivery. Enjoy this track in the meantime.
I would not have checked this unless Frank Ramz sent it to me. The end result after a couple of listens is that it’s pretty damn dope. NatStar and Frank Ramz undoubtedly are capable of spitting bars in abundance. But the thing here is that these bars are proliferated with meaning. I mean check this snippet of the last verse:
We yelling black is beautiful from the pew inside the church / Hallelujah! But we shoot a n#@ga if blue is on his shirt / Or if his hat is twisted cute we move his casket in the dirt
Just those few bars should be enough for people who are looking for dope hip hop music to share this track with a friend. This music is powerful. This is from NatStar’s album, Dreamer, which was just released a few days ago. You can also stream all the tracks before purchasing HERE.
Fire, from MidaZ the Beast and Roc Marciano is given the remix treatment by accomplished beatsmith, IMAKEMADBEATS. IMAKEMADBEATS give this track a touch of playful sadsim. (How did you like that? Playful sadism…I said it) It’s dark, banging, yet intriguing and interesting. This may be one of my favorite beats from 2013. Really feeling it. AU, MidaZ’s album, is dropping in two weeks. Highly anticipated.
Cult Classic 2 is slated to drop on August 20th. I can’t wait. This track showcases not OnlyOne’s business but also that of Sandpeople cohorts, IAME and Goldini Bagwell. It’s dope through and through, but the beat by THNDRTHF is certainly worth noting. It mixes clashing symbols and a diverse amount of electronica. It lends the necessary amount of paranoia to the song.
This is the third single from the Blame One and J57 collaborative album, Walk In The Sun. It continues in the tradition of soulful and introspective music. Blame One reflects back on what is important in his life, He’s a family man who rocks the mic and not the vice versa. The man has his priorities in the right order. Akie Bermiss, does what he has done numerous times…he gives a track a touch of class and refinement. Dope music. Can’t wait for the album.
This is an ill lineup! Blaq Poet enlists a true army of microphone beasts for this track with Chino XL, Spit Gemz, and Vinnie Paz. You also get Vanderslice to provide the banging rhythms. When they talk about tough tracks, this will go among the toughest. Blaq Poet’s new album, Blaq Death, is slated for an October arrival.
