I had been meaning to get back in touch with M.A. Cee-Kings about his Gryndhawse imprint and website. When I went to recheck it, this is the first track that was in my face and I think it’s dope. The beat is unique and offers the cut a nice twist while Skeen shows us that he’s not your run-of-the-mill emcee by hitting on real life topics that we can all relate to with flair.
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.
Darkness serves as a bonus song to Godilla’s latest release, Altered Beast. The track once again features one of the most coveted emcees in the game, Spit Gemz. The track is dark, yet hype and contains many an ill bar. Be sure to cop the album as it is free and houses a grip of tracks with the same tenacity as this one.
I am bored with the music being concocted over the course of the last couple of weeks at least in terms of the singles dropping. It’s just the same mundane material. But leave it to Keno Beats to wake me up out of the funk with Jewels Remix which will be featured on his collaborative album with Don Streat, Bare My Soul. I’ve always liked Don Streat. I just wish I could get a full length project from him. Looks like I might get my wish…
I first featured Uncle Sam about a year ago. I thought he showed enormous upside and had the great foundation for a career in music. I felt he just needed a bit more polish. He sent me his mixtape soon after and I thought that the OG tracks that were on there were innovative and dope, but I kinda left him hanging without giving him my feedback. (I am a well intentioned jackass sometimes.) But here he is a year later with more polish and a dope beat that I am excited to share with you. The beat is courtesy of Motion Picture.
TOPE is back with a brand new single entitled, Family Affair featuring two of Seattle’s most celebrated MC’s Grynch and Spac3man. Produced by TOPE himself, Family Affair serves as the official first single to his new EP, TROUBLEMAN, available July 9th. Over a classic drum break and Cheryl Lynn sample, TOPE, Grynch, and Spac3man trade bars about what they do best; being the life of the party. Good times all around…
Hip hop is at it’s best when it means something to somebody and when a message is being imparted. The Digital Martyrs enlist Hall Of Fame lyricist, Ras Kass to discuss politics, society, and the hypocrisy in both. It’s a tightly woven track all together but it’s hard for anyone to outshine a Ras Kass guest verse. The Ballad Of The Bullet is the Martyr’s forthcoming full length…be on the lookout.
It’s another overseas banger, this time from German producer Whatson. He uses a creative blend of rock and hip for this cut while extending the mic duties to veteran emcees, Planetary, M-Dot, and Aims. It’s a definite head nodder. This song is lifted from Whatson’s new EP Detour (which I know nothing about but will remedy soon)
I had to bump somebody else’s post to get this one up there immediately. Would it be proper to say that this joint is cold? Tacky maybe, but proper yes. I have never heard Blue Legacy spit a single bar before but this joint has me as an instant fan. Got a real nice flow and The Militia cook up on of those dark, in the shadows, night stalking beats. You won’t regret checking this.
The free EP, True Fiction, drops next month.
King Mez joins Alpha Male Society on this song from group’s latest album, Background Check 2. The song is produced by Leland Jones. On a whole the joint has a lot of energy and gets the blood pumpin’ the instant it comes on.
