I am very pleased to present this new artists (at least to me) Chris Green. I was expecting bland (because that’s what is typical) but this is a hot track. The beat is knocking (Super Villain) and the emcees have some better than decent flows. I think the readership on HHD can get behind this. I hope to hear more soon.
MaV recently released his GhettOthello project and it took me a while to run through it and I have to say I was amazed. I was amazed not because of the dope music (I expected that) but by how professional everything was done. It was solid from the rhymes and beats all the way down to the mix down. There was careful execution in the arrangement of the tracks and not a lot of people understand how important that is to showcase your talents. The attention to detail was impeccable. Also it bears mentioning that MaV produced most of the project himself and you will understand how impressive when you hear the project.
Now to the tracks at hand. I first heard MaV because of his collaborations with another artist we have showcased here, Just FLoW. It just so happens that the two of them have a couple of dope tracks on this joint and it gives you an insight into how dope this project is. Observe and Report is definitely an early candidate for the Top 50 at the end of the year.
I am not sure where this track is from or destined to be, but it’s definitely worth sharing. The production is coming from Soul Professa and as you can see from the title we have 9th Prince and Inspectah Deck in charge of bar droppin’. The cut is a concoction of soul, funk, and grime, so if that sounds good to you, make sure you cop the single. I especially like the way the Professa chops up the production between the 16s. Dope.
I don’t like posting YouTube videos as singles, but I am going to make an exception for my man, Dee Metto. There evidentially is a remix contest put forth by Tha Soloist for producers to rework this track from his album with Trilian, Original Script. As you all know now Dee Metto’s work is highly regarded here on HHD and this is his take on the track. Enjoy.
No…it’s not King Just (if you don’t get this reference then we are not from the same era), it’s Hannibal Stax and Marco Polo dropping that hardcore alongside a ope guest in the form of one Torae. This is a sick beat with dope lines galore. I just finished listening to Hannibal and Marco’s album, Seize the Day, and lets just say that it’s worth the dolo. Marco Polo is never to be associated with the weak shit!
Tragic Allies and Tragedy Khadafi connect and form 7 G.E.M.S. They have an album dropping, Golden Era Music Sciences, next Tuesday. It’s slightly reminiscent of Black Market Militia in it’s sound and that’s not a bad thing. The lyricism is on the “street esoteric” nature backed with big beats.
Here’s another secret locked in the inbox for way too long. I have been familiar with Dragon Fli Empire for the past four or five years. They are known for that laid back and jazzy vibe hip hop. And everyone know Sadat X (if you don’t, get up and leave your computer now, I need a moment).
In short, this is a dope joint. The production has the horns buzzing and the emcees all capture the moment for a really chill joint.
This is the first single to the Empire’s forthcoming album, Mission Statement.
Cleaning out my inbox I came across this joint from Case Arnold. I originally thought this was another freestyle over a 9th Wonder beat but I was wrong. (But hey can you blame a guy? That kinda of stuff goes on all the time). Case Arnold has a smooth flow and we all know the work that 9th Wonder is capable of.
Apparently this cut is off of Arnold’s latest project, The Myndstate.
Oh, you’re not a fan of Focus…? GTFOH. Focus… is one of the few artists out there that is an incredible producer and talented emcee and can do so simultaneously. I can’t think of ten other guys on his level right now. This beat and his insightful lyricism made me shed a tear of happiness. This is a single off the forthcoming, FP : 1172 II (which I have no information about.
Remember…sound without Focus…is just noise.
Ugly Heroes is comprised of emcees Red Pill and Verbal Kent, along with unparalleled production of one, Apollo Brown. This song is first single from their forthcoming self-titled album dropping on, May 28th.
This song chastises those who worship the almighty dollar and wreaks havoc on ear drums along the way. I am sure you will enjoy this thoroughly.
