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…
Sometimes our survival has it’s vices and Peter Leo is here to address them with the DJ Concept produced track, Liquor Store. Leo strikes me as a young artist whose life has run the gamut . He’s seen and done some things, and he’s not afraid to discuss them with us as a listener. On September 10th, we are going to get to hear what his story has to offer us in the form of Young Baby Father.
Peter Leo recently dropped his Little Lion Mixtape which is incredibly fresh but this track is his first after being released from his incarceration in 2008. It’s a throwback but you can here the powerful energy and the angst that resonates through the joint which is also self-produced.
This is the kind of joint that can carry you through a weekend! Really dope production from Cool FD (formerlly Keno Beats) and chopping of the cut by DJ Grazzhoppa. All the emcees do an impressive job with their verses making this track very memorable. It has a little bit of everything but this beat is really going to stick with you for a hot minute.
This song hits like, well, and Iron Fist! Rediculous really shows his chops on this beat. He’s got an ill bass line and some neck-snapping drums as well as some excellent chopping of the samples. And what about Blaq Poet you say? When have you ever hear Blaq Poet come remotely weak or soft? When this man touches mic he’ going for the jugular. This is that banger you have been looking for.
Skeezo ain’t done yet with 2013…not by a long shot. After releasing one of the dopest EPs of 2013, Face Value, he delivers yet another banger. He’s definitely showing without a doubt that his passion for making music is back in full effect. Crazy DJ Bazarro composes a laid back and jazzy track that enables Skeezo to continue on with The Mission. However, the mission is just a small sampling of his upcoming project Stuck In The 90s.
ethemadassassin and SciFi Stu link up again for what could be considered a “smooth banger”. SciFi Stu touches the keys for a mellow and airy track but ethemadassassin gives the joint some contrast with his tough baritone bravado recapping the era when he came up. This song is a prelude to ethemadassassin’s album, Soul On Fire, which drops on September 17th.
Solo For Dolo is not a household name at this point but it should start to be garnering recognition. The man is super talented. He’s got great word play and show cases a more relaxed style over this slick Don Producci production. No word on what project this might surface on, but it’s here and available now, so that’s something.
Here’s another artist I know nothing about: Evan Black. But this joint sounds good to me. Of course you got the vet, Emilio Rojas contributing a verse, and King I Divine on the boards so that’s always going to help. Apparently he has a project dropping on September 10th entitled, The Arrival. That seems appropriately.
New music from Never So Deep front man, Sutter Kain (DJ Bless). Every one knows that he is a master at producing music for others but this time he lets listeners and fans get a look at the man behind the mask. He gives us a glimpse into years prior and what’s gone in to make him the man he is today. Bless is a perfectionist and pays attention to every minute detail of his music and that really shows in the final product here. Enjoy this….
