Single You Out: Red Eye x Strangeflo – Illest In My Hood

artworks-000053152146-fh65lv-t500x500

 

I first want to give out a shout out to another blog, TheHipHopHead for connecting people (including myself) to dope banging hip hop.  That blog really is my favorite and one that closely resembles the taste you will find on HHD.

It’s obvious that the blog has built a repertoire with Red Eye and DJ Qvali and that’s a good thing.  Red Eye constantly creates bangers.  You can check his album review I did a while back for St. Fatrick’s Day to get a sample of my thoughts.

This track just builds off of the dope formula found on that release.  Crackin’ beats from DJ Qvali and unfiltered tough lyrics from Red Eye.

Single You Out: Phene – In My Backyard

Phene%20-%20In%20My%20Backyard%20(artwork600)

I am digging the staccato flute sample over these hitting drums from Nick The Quick.  It’s a nice touch.  I’ve always felt Phene’s flow and felt that once people heard his offering, they would be hooked.  It sounds like he’s making moves, and that’s just plain good for hip hop.

He’s got a new project, Revelation 717, that has no release as of yet but should be coming soon.

Single You Out: Ante Meridian – Nat King Cobra

 ante

Rozewood and Mr. Enok team up to form the Ante Meridian.  They have a project launching this month.  The 25th to be exact, entitled Sons Of Heaven.  I think it goes without saying after you hear this track that you know the whole album will be fire.

I have heard a couple of joints and it has all been flawless.  I mean 5 out of 5 type ish.  These guys are just catching bodies with these vibes, they are burying you in their backyard!  Pure fire.

Single You Out: Reckonize Real – Shattered Dreams (ft. Wordsworth)

Shattered Dreams Big

Well, I had to get out of dodge for a moment so I am about a week and a half delayed in posting some things.  This particular track is coming from Queens, NYC producer, Reckonize Real.  The track is a single off of his forthcoming album, Dopamine, and features the much talented and respected emcee, Wordsworth.  It’s smoothed out from top to bottom.  A combination of introspective lyricism and mellow vibes.  I hope you enjoy.

Single You Out: Charmingly Ghetto – I’ve Arrived (ft. Reks, Murph Watkins, and Katrina Renee)

This is the first single we have featured from Charmingly Ghetto’s latest project, Of The Meaning Of Progress, which you can download at DJ Booth.

This track has it all.  It’s got the dope emceeing from the aforementioned Charmingly Ghetto, Murph Watkins, and the brilliant Reks.  ATG handles the beat while Katrina Renee caresses the hook.

Don’t sleep!

Single You Out: Godilla – Hardcore Styles (ft. Tug McRaw) *Exclusive*

I am incredibly honored that Godilla blessed HHD with this new single (exclusive for the moment) featuring Tug McRaw.  Quite simply, Hardcore Styles bangs!  This beat along with the scratching is just plain infectious.  The verbage is also quite proper.  Altogether it’s the type of flavor that keeps the block hot and happy.

If you have not checked Godilla’s latest project, Altered Beast, make sure you do that at this point.   That is a literal gift to hip hop heads because it’s free.  Also, I feature the homie Godilla quite a bit but I don’t often get a chance to share Tug McRaw’s material with you.  The man has an ill voice and demeanor and you will be hearing a lot more material in the near future.  Tell me that second verse wasn’t fire….

Single You Out: The Audible Doctor – The Vibe (ft. Oddisee x Hassan Mackey)

Smooth really doesn’t hit the tip of the ice berg when describing this joint.   First, this beat should bring a smile to anyone listening, young and old alike.  It’s mellow, jazzy, and just plain fun.  It’s ok to have a good time making and listening to music.  Something that I think both bloggers and artist alike can meditate on for a moment.  Secondly, you’ve got The Audible Doctor, Oddisee, and Hassan Mackey kicking rhymes collectively.  How can we not win?

This is of The Audible Doctor’s forthcoming EP, The Summer Tape.  I know we will all like it.
